Hercules Reborn

If only I could give this a no star rating!!

I cannot find one thing good to say about the movie. The storyline, the plot and lines were all so weak! Even the fighting scenes appeared forced and over-the-top fake. These factors may have affected the acting but I very much doubt it. The lines were delivered as though they were reading right off the script - no emotions, no feelings, terrible acting.

And it saddens me to see Hercules was written as someone who suffered from alcoholism and drug-induced psychosis; he was not the main star of this movie (why call this movie Hercules is beyond me!) the plot was all about Arius.

The movie itself was rather confusing. I don't get why a prisoner caged up still wears shiny lip gloss with perfect brows? Or, for someone who was heavily injured and then passed out, he could suddenly get up and run like he was unhurt (and knew exactly where to go to continue his fight!!). Then there was also Hercules and that royal guard of Nikos', they have these dumb and stupid looks on their faces all the time - I simply cannot tell what emotions they were trying to convey.

I hope the other Hercules movie will be a better one than this - it surely can't be that hard to beat!

I love history and movies about ancient times and was eager to watch this movie. Unfortunately, the movie just didn't do it for me. Story is very narrow and almost pointless - there's pretty much no story or anything behind the possible story. You are pretty much watching a bunch of men fight for the whole movie with a little understanding why. Acting is probably some of the most horrible I've seen in years. Fight scenes look extremely fake. The "extras" used for background fights and for general movie roles probably were never in any movies as they look lost. I was laughing a few times while watching as I could not believe producers and directors let this go for production. Even swords look fake(plastic and dull)!

I feel like I wasted 1.5 hours of my time that I never get back. This isn't 300 or anywhere close to it.

The only reason I gave it 2 stars and not 1 because I liked the architecture,scene designs and wardrobes.

If that drunk idiot can call himself Hercules, I can call myself Emma Watson. This movie is only fun if you hate films.

I really believe that even the actor's parents are ashamed of this garbage. I have no words for the acting, because yes, it is that bad.

Even the large, very large, amount of blood couldn't save it. It was ketchup and I swear I saw jam once or twice.

It can't come as a surprise that, besides the actors and special effects, the movie is historically incorrect. The clothes are ancient roman, not ancient Greek. With the amount of make-up used it's like they weren't even trying.

If you want to lose 2 hours of your life, I recommend this movie. If not: RUN. LIKE. HELL.

Giving the lead role in any film to a WWE wrestler is never normally a great idea, unless you're The Asylum, in which case it actually adds to the movie's credibility. In fairness, John Hennigan (or Morrison according to the DVD cover) makes a pretty good Hercules by micro-budget standards, certainly a lot better than Kellan Lutz (really!) did in one of the movies of which this is a rip-off. In fact, this is one of The Asylum's better efforts of late, and a very far cry from their nadir offerings such as 'Dragon Crusaders' and the truly abysmal 'Attila'. The studio's well-publicised maximum budget of $1m looks like it might have been stretched to the limit on this one - the sets, costumes etc. were certainly better than one has come to expect from this particular outfit, it's just a pity the same can't be said for the casting and acting, which for the most part was, well, a bit odd. On the plus side however, the camera work and editing was probably the best I have seen in an Asylum film.

A real curate's egg this one - Asylum fans like me will recognise and celebrate the good bits, while the usual 'worst film ever made' merchants will regurgitate the same old tired criticisms. I suggest you follow my advice - open a bottle, switch off your brain, and just enjoy watching a drunken Hercules body-slam half a dozen Greek soldiers. What could be more fun?

((( DO NOT EVEN BOTHER TO WATCH ))) this movie is a Complete Waste of time.

surely the script is written while on Cannabis. Storyline is not consistent.

Characters are poorly created. Special Effect used here are WORST in it's kind. fighting scenes are awful. Low grade Actors and Acting. One of the worst movies ever made.

this is not a movie, it's a cruel joke and It's a shame. and this is a crime against the film industry.

watching the movie was a complete torture. and it hurts. it is bad from start to finish.
