Blu B I guess if you know anything about Ratner's quality of work the past few decades and any one of the 95% of the Rock's films where he plays himself than yeah this should'nt be much of a surpise. I guess the bigger suprise is them making a Epic Film but getting butchered and watered down to a mindless action flick. Spartacus or Gladiator this isn't. The music is standard stuff and pretty unremarkable on it's own. The cinematography is alright. There is tons of production value, special effects practical and digital, and costume design behind this but it just is ok. The camerawork is basic, the action is over the top, and sometimes it's so dark you can barely see. The acting, editing, and pacing are all subpar as well. The entire supporting cast is so forgettable save for Hurt who isn't bad. But the worst part is the Rock who I don't buy is Hercules for one second in this. He is clearly just playing himself and isn't good. His character is so boring and perfect that it's never really relatable. Story wise it feels like some watched the 3 hour sword and sandel epics and said lets get rid of all the talking and character devlopment stuff which is 70% of the runtime and just leave the action and bare minimum stuff to move the plot forward. 60% of this is just over the top action and it gets a bit repetitive. And for such a shor runtime with soooo many side characters we never get a a real fleshed out character interactions. Any interaction is barely a minute maybe at most and this is a big reason why everyone is forgettable and it becomes mindless basically. Having a epic story isn't just about big battles, but a complex and larger than life character witht supporting ones to boot. The best part that sums this up is how in 2 minutes at the start we go through Hercules entire life story in wha should've taken WAY longer. And oddly enough it feels like there was more fleshed out characters in this with how certain scenes are edited and you can feel like this had the non action stuff butchered heavily in the editing room. Anyway, skip this and watch the 97' Disney classic instead. (Him wearing the wolf cape is unitentionally hilarious) Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Georgan G 3.25 stars. Much better than I thought it would be. If you like wars of the ancient Greeks, you will love this. Johnson did a really good job of stunts & acting. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review Amir A Dwayne Johnson & Rebecca Fergurson are fine in their roles however this movie can get boring a lot of times. its very silly just like Thor: Love and Thunder but worse and the action & cgi is pretty awful. the only good scene is the final fight but overall Hercules(2014) has a rushed plot, boring story that feels a copy & paste of Gladiator & The Story of Samson and some poor dialogue. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review Randy W A new take on an old story, humorous, and if you like The Rock, you will enjoy this. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/24 Full Review Alayna D I started watching this movie on long car rides when I was about 12, I still watch it everyday I love how intense the movie is. Some of it is kinda weird but that's what makes it good.
