Tony Asankomah GhMovieFreak While “Fighting Olympus “exhibits its indie production nature in some action sequences and very obvious look and feel occasionally revealing its budgetary restrictions, the overall experience remains commendable.

Jerome V "Fighting Olympus" literally takes us on a journey to the underworld of Hades, where gods and demons control the fate of humanity. This movie has a cool urban vibe to it throughout. The underworld being an extension of that. Hades, Athena, Medusa, Persephone, Poseidon, Apollo - all your favorite Greek gods are here. Some decent fight scenes and choreography. Kudos to hair, makeup and the costume designer for creating a unique setting for the movie. Definitely worth watching. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/29/24 Full Review TRAVIS G Original movie storyline with cool and unique performances. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review Catherine C It is amazing what these filmmakers were able to accomplish. This is a HUGE movie full of big sets, exotic locations, tons of characters and TONS of action. Gun battles, hand to hand combat, you name it! This movie delivers them ALL. It's really inspiring to see what can be achieved without big Hollywood budgets when you've got creativity and a great group of creative, willing and talented people. But it's not JUST the spectacle that makes this movie watching. The story is EPIC! Twists and turns, colorful characters and a great, core story of love and family anchoring it all. See it to believe it! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/24 Full Review Artist E Yo, check it- This ain't just your regular bang-bang action flick-it's got way more goin' on.

You can tell tons of sweat and tears went into makin' those scenes pop. Two big thumbs up for real! Gather up your crew, 'cause it's time to dive into Fighting Olympus! This flick's gonna have y'all on the edge of your seats, trust me. It's got that action-packed punch and a storyline that'll keep everyone hooked. So, what are you waiting for? Round up your squad, grab some snacks, and make a movie night outta this! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/23/23 Full Review Alex H 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/22/23 Full Review Olivia P 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.
