I go into every movie with an open mind and yet that couldn't help me enjoy this whatsoever. Kellan Lutz can't carry a movie on his own, then again, no one could've carried this movie.
From the opening dialogue "I accept your challenge, prepare to die!" you know you've got a long movie ahead of you. Oh and the fight scenes...not sure if they were trying to be "The Matrix" or "300" with all of the slow motion it used, but it didn't work. The fight scenes would've been better had it been shown full speed.
Then there's the love triangle and the 3 actors involved were all equally terrible. In one scene after Hercules returns and the girl sees him for the first time after she thought he was dead, they lay in the woods and it's just awkward.
The CGI may be the worst of the 21st Century. It's like they didn't even try to make it look real. It felt like one of those SciFy B horror movies you watch...I take it back, it was worse than that. And at a running time of only about 90 or so minutes, it felt like 3 hours and the fight scenes were the only bearable part of this movie. But even those get repetitive with all of the slow motion like I mentioned before.
I can only hope that the next Hercules movie being released later this year will be better, and I'm not too worried that it will easily surpass this horrendous piece of work. I have no doubt this will be on my list of worst movies in the year of 2014.
