I read some of the bad reviews and then some of the good reviews and decided not to pay attention to any of them and watch the film with an open mind.
I was disappointed in the movie especially for having a 70 million dollar budget. It was not the worst movie I have watched but I did find many faults.
There did not seem to be a flow in the movie and scenes were not long enough for the most part. Then there were the scenes that were too long. The fight scenes were quite disappointing, especially where Hercules fights 6 who have never lost a fight before to gain freedom for himself and Sotiris. If you blinked you would have missed watching Hercules killing the 5 men and pinning down the woman. That is how quickly this scene was over.
The final fight between King Amphitryon and Hercules was brilliant and almost worth watching all of the movie before it.
I do feel that this movie does rate between 4 or 5 stars and that might be a bit too much. It is not a movie I would recommend to anyone.
Renny Harlin directed this movie and I looked at some of his past movies and he seems to make pretty much the same quality of movies as this one. I am truly stumped as to why he was given a 70 million dollar budgeted movie.
The acting was quite poor for most of the actors but not all can be blamed on the actors when the writing was poor as well.
I am trying to find the positives about this movie but I am drawing a blank.
