Review of Hercules (2014) by Thequietgamer — 09 Nov 2014

A solid action flick that succeeds thanks to just how likable it's star is, as well as some nice supporting characters and solid violence. Yes Johnson is very likable as the legendary Hercules. He and the humor help save what otherwise would have been too cheesy of a movie to recommend.

There are still plenty of dumb parts, a couple of elements that were included to be cool instead come off as unintentional comedy, and the plot takes some predictable turns. However it is all still an entertaining ride that has some surprisingly bloody action as well as a unique take on the story. It might not succeed as a epic fantasy movie, but it still proves enjoyable enough to be worth a watch. My total score for the film is a 7.8/10.
