Overview

In Ancient Greece 1200 B.C., a queen succumbs to the lust of Zeus to bear a son promised to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the king and restore peace to a land in hardship. But this prince, Hercules, knows nothing of his real identity or his destiny. He desires only one thing: the love of Hebe, Princess of Crete, who has been promised to his own brother. When Hercules learns of his greater purpose, he must choose: to flee with his true love or to fulfill his destiny and become the true hero of his time. The story behind one of the greatest myths is revealed in this action-packed epic - a tale of love, sacrifice and the strength of the human spirit.

Viewing Notes

Yep, my kind of stupid. I think we’re close to reaching that time when the entire movie will be created in a computer with the actors faces pasted on their CG bodies.

Wish Scott would no longer accept roles as the villain; much prefer him in the hero role. I don’t want to root against him.

Having grown up in my adult life watching Hercules/Xena and related serials on cable, I can appreciate this a lot more regardless of how terrible it really is.

I would certainly watch this again when it hits NWI in a few months. I didn’t even moviepass this screening so that tells you something.
