Hercules Reborn

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?

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.

This movie qualifies as a B movie it is bad from start to finish, the plot is paper thin, the story is weak, the movie is called Hercules but why was he in this movie is the question it is more about the general and hes princess girl friend, the actors in the movie cant act at all, the battle scenes are just awful especially when Hercules makes this wrestling back flip onto a enemy soldier!!!, Herculus is supposed to be the son of Zeus yet he has trouble fighting the main bad guy even being beaten by him!!

i rated this movie 2 stars and then i was being generous!!!

why would anyone make a movie called Hercules and then not let the movie be about Hercules ,he is in the movie but hes story is a sideline story!, Hercules has the power of 20 men yet has trouble beating up a simple mortal, ye right!!! all in all glad i did not pay to see this movie because then i would demand my money back asap! its a low budget movie with low budget actors it should go directly to DVD and skip the cinema!

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.
