Hercules Reborn

this is not a movie, it's a bad joke.

shame on the producers, director, cast and all involved.

blood and sex don't always work, desperate ones.

bad characters, awful script... the acting... it's not acting, it's ... nothing, why would you create something like that? i understand money is always welcome, but, come on, guys, you have your names all over the internet, aren't you feeling a little bit nasty when you wake up in the morning? or, do you really think this is the way to success? I pity you...

One of the worst movies ever made, with interest. Stop doing that, be true to yourself guys... or, maybe, these is who you are and in that case... I pity you again. And again to make the 10 lines that are a must for this review, but I feel I already spent too much time on your nothing...

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?

One of the worst movies i have ever watched, knowing Greek mythology this has nothing to do with anything Greek, after troy , 300 and Alexander the great this is the worst parody i ever watched, some people must go first to school and then to try to make a movie that contains mythology, is the least tragic! the names...the story.... the clothes....the place....nothing Greek! 1.Hercules was not an alcoholic as he is presented 2.the names in the movie are totally wrong 3.the city looks more like Jewish than Greek 4. Greece is not a desert like in the movie 5. the suits in the movie are from ancient rome not Greece 6. not even the weapons!!! really don't waste your time to see this, better watch the smurfs are more realistic than this monstrosity.

This is one low budget film. the plot is so bad that my two children are laughing at every scene. Even when the movie tries to be serious, its become a laughable comedy due to the acting and plot. Just like watching WWF matches. Purely shouting matches and wrestling moves execution. How is it possible that the army of the king has so few soldiers that a bunch of 30 men could over throw them? Very unrealistic. Princess Theodore just wasn't helpful, most of the time crying and a spectator. Over all this is bad, bad, bad directing, execution, storyline.... Everything is bad. Waste of time. Christina Ulfsparre was a beautiful face and its a wasted talent for her to star in this movie.

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!
