Out of the blue, his best friend Iolaus (Michael Hurst) arrives and they remember their adventures. When a stranger comes from the distant village of Alturia asking for help to fight a monster, Deianeira (Tawny Kitaen) convinces her husband that he should help the villagers since he needs action in his life. Hercules and Iolaus head to Alturia and soon Hercules learns that a Minotaur is underground threatening the villagers.

"Hercules in the Maze of the Minotaur" (1994) is a movie that could have been great, but it is not. The recap of the four others movies is boring and unnecessary, reducing the adventure of Hercules in the maze of the Minotaur to a short story that deserved more. This is the last movie of the series of five and unfortunately deserves a lower rating. Now the adventures of Hercules has finally settled down. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Hércules no Labirinto do Minotauro" ("Hercules in the Maze of the Minotaur")

I thoroughly Enjoy the first 4 movies. But unfortunatly this one with a bit disappointing. This was basically just a short and version of the first 4 movies and the end boss was a bit lackluster.

I enjoyed the first 4 main protagonists but the minotaur was a bit small was lacking. It was just a man with a minotaur mask on in and the man was relatively short. Minotaur's need to be at least seven foot. I love the hercules universe, but this film probably didn't need to be made. The interesting twist was that the minotaur was another son of zeus. I would If the minotaur would have stayed alive and remain hercules, brother and earn his right so that zeus could convert him back to a human. This could have led to some interesting stories between Hercules and its brother in the legendary journeys.

This is the fifth and final episode of the Hercules television movies. This movie contains a lot of flashbacks of the other four movies. Because of this the story itself slows down and most of the times the flashbacks are annoying. And that is a shame, because this could be the best episode of them all, because it has the best plot. It could have been so much better if they put King Minos and all the others in the movie as well. But in stead we just see the Minotaur. But still, this Hercules-movie is a good and enjoyable action/adventure movie with good acting, great locations and a good climax. It still is a lot better than the tv-show that followed.

Hercules sits his kids down to tell them stories of his past, trying to recapture a little of his glory years. Yet deep inside he yearns to be going out on adventures. Michael Hurst is back as Iolaus, so it must be cause for celebration. right? RIGHT??!!? Wrong. Half the story is flashbacks to the other previous TV movies, thus making this one a tad lame to sit through, but sit through I must since it leads up to the great TV series. The parts that new are good but the flashbacks kill it and make this the least engrossing of the TV movies. Pity as this was the one that came closet to capturing the feel of the subsequent TV series.

My Grade: C-
