Bobby L 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/24/25 Full Review Dick M I liked this film. For a low budget independent, it had incredible sets and production values. But the story was what kept me intrigued. At first, it looked like a standard cop drama, terrorist story, but then it took a turn into a cult world that was unexpected. I don't want to give spoilers, but if you are looking for something different, give it a watch. There is a bit of exposition to explain the unusual nature of the place, but I don't think it was needed. Let the viewer figure it out on their own and leave more mystery in it. Haley Jackson is gorgeous, and Corey Roberts is one very scary dude. Very rarely do I watch a film and look up the actors in it. Like to see them in other productions. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review 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.
