Review of Hercules

Hercules (I) (2014)
7/10
Enjoyable - Set expectations accordingly
24 June 2015
I liked Hercules because The Rock knows how to give the audience what they want in these types of films. He will flex his muscles, do incredible things, have some kick-butt fights, and stand up for good against evil. sounds like most of his movies, just a different time/era.

The plot is that Hercules is not really a god, but goes around convincing people of his achievements by glorious storytelling, with his merry band of warriors, a la Robin Hood. He is hired by a rich guy to fight against some bad guys. Then he starts to question what is the truth here, and the plot thickens.

Of course he had a beautiful wife, and brave companions. Lots of people get killed. that's what I expected, and was not let down.

I liked this movie for pure entertainment and mindless good versus evil. Set expectations correctly, and you should like it too. enjoy.
