Hercules

Johnson is genuinely talented. He's often the best thing in bad movies, and Ratner's Hercules is, at the very least, pretty good.

If anything gets lost in the mayhem, it’s Johnson’s reliably charming personality.

Hercules has no right to be as entertaining as it is.

There are some rousing battle scenes, preceded by stirring addresses on the subject of going to Elysium – all cheekily borrowed from Ridley Scott's "Gladiator."

When Johnson is wearing the head of the slayed Nemean lion in battle, walloping enemies with his tree-trunk sized club, and heaving charging horses to the ground with remarkable ease, he's in his Rock comfort zone. But as a tortured hero hampered by self-doubt, Johnson labors.

This outing does not suffer the epic badness one associates with films that aren’t screened early for critics, and in fact it offers moments of actual entertainment. It simply fails to exploit its assets: an amusing, revisionist take on the mythological strongman, and the charisma of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

The film fluctuates haphazardly between semi-serious reverence and tongue-in-cheek camp, with no shortage of opportunities for the inevitable Rifftrax accompaniment.

i didnt understand the bad rating....really only **** god there a lot of films that have deserved a rate of 47 but they become a rate of 90!!!This film has´nt earned this rate. I find this film great! Dwayne johnson played very well in this film! Good sound top animation.....I think the critics are not serious and you should not take them seriously...This movie has everything you could possibly imagine. Action voltage with a portion of humor .... just awesome!!!!

The shot at a Hercules film would never work. Just keep that in your mind. This did pretty alright and it's not the best Hercules film we all have seen.

El enfoque de hacer realistas los mitos y leyendas griegas nos entrega esta versión ordinaria del hijo de Zeus, cumple con entretener, como todas las películas de la Roca.

2014 realmente não foi um ano com bons filmes épicos. Depois dos decepcionantes "300: Rise of an Empire" e "Noah", veio esta bomba. O filme em si é bem fraco, a história (que se soubessem contar direito, seria ótima) é fraca, os atores são fracos. A única coisa admirável nesse filme é o tamanho de Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, que a cada vez que a aparece em algum filme, aparenta estar maior ainda!!! Ele, como Hércules, é bem convincente... mais pelo tamanho em si do que pela interpretação!! Enfim, o filme não empolga, não inova, não surpreende. Eu, não recomendo. É o típico filme que irá cair em esquecimento muito rápido. Isso se já não caiu!!!
