Hercules (2005)
6/10
An uncut extended version should be released
16 April 2006
Granted the cgi could have been better, but what do you expect from a low-budget B-movie. It was made for television. If Lions Gate Films had gotten a big producer, then they could have done a better job because they would have had a larger budget. Personally I think the cast was right on. I say there should be an uncut version released because I first saw a piece of this film on TV and when I rented it to see it in it's entirety it had been cut and you could tell it. There were scenes on the TV version that weren't on the DVD version. An uncut version would be 3-4 hours long and would involve more labors I believe. With the exception of the low-budget and the short story-line, I really enjoyed the movie. Paul Telfer played an excellent role as Hercules. As I said earlier, a longer uncut version should be released and I believe that anyone who truly enjoys mythology would enjoy this movie. If I had the money, I would gladly produce a re-make of this film for the big-screen and cast Paul Telfer as Hercules. So if you're the pessimistic type, there's about a 50/50 chance that you'll like this movie. If you're a true movie buff who understands that low-budget films don't have as great of special effects as big-screen blockbusters, then I think this movie is enjoyable.
