The Legend of Hercules Trailers

In Ancient Greece 1200 B.C., a queen succumbs to the lust of Zeus to bear a son promised to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the king and restore peace to a land in hardship. But this prince, Hercules, knows nothing of his real identity or his destiny. He desires only one thing: the love of Hebe, Princess of Crete, who has been promised to his own brother. When Hercules learns of his greater purpose, he must choose: to flee with his true love or to fulfill his destiny and become the true hero of his time. The story behind one of the greatest myths is revealed in this action-packed epic - a tale of love, sacrifice and the strength of the human spirit.

Reviews
Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
cheryllawrence-41883 Does this film signal the end of Kellan Lutz career? It seems so because this is destined to bomb so hard. And it is easy to figure out why- the acting is terrible, direction lacks panache and grace and the special effects would probably be at home in the year 1987. This film will destroy many careers. (Go to see how to never make an expensive movie again)
cinemajesty Movie Review: "The Legend Of Hercules" (2014)Summit Entertainment and Millinium Films took some risk between their smash hits "Expendables 2" (2012) and "Expendables 3" (2014) in order to bring a old dusty mythological tale of the birth of Hercules, who needs to fight through various stages as to say level of action to find his beloved character of Hebe, here performed by actress Gaia Weiss, and defeated a power-seeking character of Amphityron, portrayed by actor Scott Adkins in testosterone-spreading in high-speed 3D red epic camera system dual-strip shots, reminiscencing the production, which started the mode of contemporary mystery-action fantasy movies "300" directed by Zack Snyder and followed by "Immortals" directed by Tarsem Singh. This Renny Harlin, known for hard-boiled action thriller in the 90s as "Cliffhanger" (1993) and "Deep Blue Sea" (1999), directed fast-forward actioner does not exceed his predecessor pictures, too unidentifiable become the characters' introduction, too staggered the only push into digital camera style. Nevertheless any spectator, who sits through the accelerated ninety minutes movie gets presented with a gifted showdown, witnessing Hercules summon the lightnings of Zeus to defeat an army before concluding his quest in a decently choreographed final sword / spear / knife fight with nemesis Amphitryon.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
bozopauk So, first of all I would like to say that I usually like fantasy movies and I can accept them being too much fantasized and similar things.This movie, however, I completely disliked. It is terrible in every single aspect I can remember, I saw literally nothing good about this movie. Plot is faulty and bad, for action movies it is boring as well. Twists are terrible if they can be called twists. Acting and special effects are even worse, I really don't like it when you pick actors by their modeling skills instead of their acting skills.I am not even going to waste any more of my time on this movie, so here it goes, I, with all my heart, suggest you to skip this movie. I'd prefer any cheer-leading movie to this one.
CJFouraki Heracles, the greatest of the ancient Greek heroes. My dad told me all of his adventures and labors and heroic doings when I was growing up. There is such a rich and bountiful history behind the demi-god, so many tales that would easily make great movies, but instead we get this.From the director of action classics such as Die Hard 2 and Cliffhanger, comes this steaming pile of crap straight from the butthole of a $70 million project.What even was this movie? The Hercules done by Brett Ratner was coming out later that year (which turned out to be far better than this), so why was this one necessary?Acting - I don't think you can call any of this acting, just people reciting lines with either shouty voices or normal voices. Okay... - Kellen Lutz is not Hercules. Dwayne the Rock Johnson was more believable as Hercules. - Scott Adkins was wasted (not that he's a great actor). If you've seen his movies, you know what he's good for...sweet fist fight action sequences. He has one in this but it's poorly done. - The bad guys were just acting like over-the-top douche bags with no layered performances.Story - The romance plot line took up way too much time. It wasn't believable, or touching, in fact, it was quite dead and emotionless and I felt nothing for the to lovebirds. - There is 1 labor performed in this film, the Nemean Lion. It was rushed and lackluster, poorly executed. - It feels too much like Ben-Hur, Spartacus and Gladiator, 10/10 films. But they had layered characters, superb writing, an emotional story line and brilliant acting and this has none of those things. It doesn't feel original and it isn't even done well so you can't forgive it for being unoriginal.Action - (Cinematography and Editing) - It's PG-13 so there's no meatiness to the fights - There's no blood or real visceral violence of any kind - Looks like a bunch of people rolling around swinging wildly, mixed in with some WWE performances - Clone of 300, or Immortals. Same style, but poorly executed. - No point to slow motion because there's nothing impressive happening and there's no blood flying across the screen. - Cuts away when anything cool might happen - It just feels boring to watch - This is the most decent thing about the movie though, soooooooo...Costumes and Set Design - Costumes just look cheap - Sets look cheap - Backgrounds sometimes look like paintings - When they don't look like paintings they look like terrible animation - Terrible animation complimented by wonky green screen blending - Why did so much have to be CGI if it was garbage? Why not create a miniature model of the city and film that rather than create an obviously fake, video-game looking world?Writing - Dialogue is cringey, cheesy, corny, terrible....take your pick. - Nothing feels tense. - Characters might as well be 2D cut- outs. There's no layering to any of them. They're either good or bad. None are tormented or have problems. Take for example Joaquin Phoenix's Commodus - clearly disturbed and vile, tormented by his thoughts and emotions. That's a character. - Come to think of it, I don't think there was an actual script, just dot points written by 4 dudes in a room.Music - UninspiredSound Design - UninspiredMovie Overall - UninspiredRating 2/10What on earth actually happened here? Could barely slog through this turd.
