[6.00/10] Hercules [3D] (2014)

Hercules [3D] (2014)

Quick Review: It starts off with a bang, then goes downhill and totally loses its steam mid-way through, but then picks up again and delivers in the end. Inconsistent pacing aside, "Hercules" is a guilty pleasure type of feature, that not only never takes itself seriously, but even embraces its lightweight silliness. Furthermore, the creature fights, though insanely rushed are very entertaining, the 3D is great, the battle scenes, while far from epic, are fairly exciting, and the acting is actually decent.

It does embrace its silliness. Although I though it started slow and gained as it went along.

Alex, it does, indeed. :)
Slow? So you found the mythological creature fights being slow? Now I'm confused. :)

Will drop you an email tomorrow to ask for a small favor. :)

Considering to go and see this, heard from a lot of people it's not the best, but I am interested in the genre and setting of the film.

Jason, it's definitely not the best, but if you're in a mood for some mindless entertainment 'swords and sandals' style, than this is your flick. :)

Jason Egan said...

Thanks man! I won't waste my money to go and see it in the cinema then. Seen too man 'sword and sandals' style films in my life now anyway!

George Beremov [Nebular] said...

You're welcome, Jason, but I didn't mean that in a bad way. Go see it. :)

Jason Egan said...

I know haha; I know it's not in a bad way. I'll consider it! :)

George Beremov [Nebular] said...

Do that, and give it a chance. ;)
