I enjoy watching films that tells a fantastical mythological tale. "Fighting Olympus" is compelling and imaginative, and filled with unexpected plot twists that keeps the audience captivated. Being a huge fan of Greek Mythology, I love seeing Hades, Zeus, Athena, and Medusa in action in the realm of the Gods. Leslie Jones shines as Rucker, a tough and compassionate ex-cop determined to find his kidnapped brother, Biddle (Devinair Mathis) and enters the lion's den - a ruthless cult based on the Greek pantheon. The ensemble cast was game, and made this distopian world interesting.

The set design of this film is impressive. This movie has tons of characters and plenty of action. Directed, written and produced by Julian Hampton, who managed to made the movie look big and cinematic, with wonderfully choreographed fight scenes. If you are looking for an entertaining film that will take you to another realm, look no further.

Fighting Olympus is a unique action film that dives into the world of Greek mythology. In this modern-day adaptation of the Odyssey, Rucker (Leslie A. Jones) goes in search of his kidnapped brother Biddle ( Devinar Mathis). He must endure many trials in his journey to Hades.

While it is evident that Writer/ Director Julian Hampton was on a tight independent film budget, he is able to effectively tell the story.

On a personal note, I wish I had studied Greek mythology a little more. While I was able to recognize many of the names of the Greek gods and goddesses, I would have liked to see how the characters paralleled their Greek counterparts.

I had no idea I was going to be watching action with greek mythology! I also have an interest in cults and the mysterious. This movie had such a unique story line and writing and actor performances. There were many moments that I was thrilled by watching and also many various moments that the action and dialogue and plot kept me wondering what was going to happen next. I think the writing was unique, original, and also exquisite for a movie like this one. I hope to see a follow up to it and I think the director and film team also have a lot of talent for and indie movie. I'll also look to see the actors in other roles they'll play.

This film isn't just a run-of-the-mill shoot 'em up action feature (although it executes that aspect impressively). The storyline is remarkably imaginative, intricate, and filled with unexpected twists and turns that kept me thoroughly engaged. Without revealing any spoilers, I appreciated the clever nods to characters from ancient Greek myths like Hades, Athena, and Medusa. Reading the synopsis for "Fighting Olympus," I assumed it would be more up my partner's alley than mine. To my pleasant surprise, I couldn't have been more mistaken. I give it two thumbs up and recommend you watch "Fighting Olympus".
