SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

abs-75657 I just love this show--always have, always will. Kevin Sorbo and Michael Hurst are just phenomenal together. If you have never seen this series, I feel you are truly missing out. Not only is it great fun, but you can also watch how Hercules and Iolaus grow as characters/people throughout the series, which adds to the sincerity of the characters. A lot of people complain/have complained about the anachronisms and the mixing of historical timelines in this series, but they obviously have a stick up their bum. Firstly, this series never in any way stated that it was going to be 100% historically accurate. In fact, this series would be more accurately categorized as 'historical fiction'--historical fiction is a story that is based around allegedly true events, but with an artistic or creative interpretation or spin. At any rate, you shouldn't be taking this series so seriously that you can't have fun watching it. It's just great, period.

OllieSuave-007 As having an interest in Greek mythology, it was great seeing some of the Greek Gods come to life in this action-packed TV series, starring Kevin Sorbo as Hercules.The New Zealand countryside setting is refreshing and the costumes are colorful and vibrantly done. The music score by Joseph LoDuca is very catchy and the acting is pretty spot-on, with a good mixture of humor and drama. The action scenes were choreographed well and the writing for each episode was appealing. I enjoyed how each Greek god was portrayed, from the strong and powerful Hercules to the sinister and cunning Aries, and from the sassy and beautiful Aphrodite to the mean-spirited Hera.It's a treat seeing Hercules and sidekick Iolaus go on their many adventures in each episode, helping people and taking on monsters, warlords, gods and demigods. Great fun - one of the best shows of the 1990s.Grade A-

reb-warrior Hercules The Legendary Journeys was chalk full of adventure, mythology, and action. Lots of slapstick. Muscle bound Kevin Sorbo did a decent job of playing Hercules. Tho, he was mostly wooden in his acting. He was surrounded by great actors, Michael Hurst, Robert Trebor, Bruce Campbell, Kevin Smith, Alexander Tydings, just to name a few. Michael Hurst in particular brought a lot of fun and humour to the show. Mostly different writers/producers from Xena, quantitative-wise. Xena never took away anything from it. If anything it added to it as a companion show. The complaints to this are usually from a few fans of a certain actor, and by this actor himself as an excuse to explain why Hercules wasn't more popular than Xena. As though saying: "There must be a reason. It can't be that Xena was simply liked better by more people." The ego can't handle that thought I suppose. The irony being that they are the ones that point out that Xena was better then Hercules more then anyone else. Always whining that Hercules was a "lesser" show because "Xena took away." A half empty glass.........Propping by dissing never works. The two shows were very very different even though both take place in the mythological genre. While both may have common fans, it's only logical that each would also appeal to different masses of fans. One was simply going to do better. It only makes sense. There's no way these shows would perform equally. Look at the CSI's for example, they all have different respective ratings. Not equal performance.I might add that Lucy Lawless was a huge factor. There is just something about her. Something special. Furthermore, where there have been countless male heroes on the screen there have been relatively very few female heroes. Thus adding a curiosity factor, an uniqueness, and just plain awesomeness of it all, which helped propel Xena to cult status. Not to mention that Xena is an absolutely wonderful show that has captured the hearts and imaginations of many.Got off track. Sorry. Needless to say, I for one prefer my glass half full. I enjoyed watching this show. Although I found the Hercules character too good to be true. Mr Perfect! Not much depth where he was concerned. He was always right. He never made mistakes. Personally, I prefer shades of grey in my heroes. The stories were too simple. There were never any complex nor thought-provoking stories. It's great for little kids though, and shallow loving people. If you want to see a superior quality show, watch Xena Warrior Princess. 5/10

paneno I was an extra for both Hercules and Zena. They were both being filmed in the same area and were sharing base commodities(?) such as the rest area and food tent. It was in NZ up in Waitakere (Lat 36°53'47.23"S Long 174°30'24.19"E) in this general area. A couple of things that I noticed was that Kevin really looked after the workers on site. He took any new actor that came down from the US and basically told them that there were to be no theatrics/hollywoods towards the staff or else they would be on the next plane back. Also for those that didn't know, Kevin is about 6'3" and in the episode "The End Of The Beginning" there is an actress playing the part of Serena called Kara Zediker who looks only 5'0". They had a scene were the two are walking together and they had to dig a trench and build a rise so they were a more 'managable' size ratio. Looked hilarious.
