The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

This was one of my favorite cosmic myths until this razzie nominated film. The action was a ridiculous slow motion. What was that lion looking thing? Did Asylum make this film? Couldn't they hire any actors? Kellan Lutz? Did the "Twilight" series zap him of his acting ability too? Sure I knew how it ended, but at least try to entertain me. I would have never believed I would be pining for the old black and white Hercules movies dubbed in English.Hercules was dull, lifeless, and couldn't read a line. What was with the buzz cut? It rates a razzy. I can't wait for the spoof.Parental Guide: No F-bombs, sex, or nudity. Woman faking an orgasm for Zeus.

Effects not perfect but still a lot of effort was put into the film. I don't want to bash the little guys. This was somewhat watchable and some of the action was impressive gymnastically. Looks like a kid film or cable TV film for educating us. In any case the half-god Hercules is not your sissy half-god Jesus. Jesus made god more sissy and less killy I suppose, but now man does more killing than Him. Fun to watch with low expectations.

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)

I agree with an earlier community poster who remarked that the only good acting in this dreadful opus is by Liam McIntyre, who plays the hero's sidekick. It is sad to think that they had him on hand but it didn't occur to them to offer him the title role. He would have been so much better. He infused some life into the scripts he was given when he played Spartacus, in a mini-series. The script for "Legend of Hercules" (2014) is so full of clichés that it's a wonder anyone was willing to accept a credit for it.
