The resoundingly insipid The Legend of
Hercules takes the eponymous character and makes a totally blotched job on
possibly all conceivable fronts. Poor cinematography, a total absence of
character build-up, near-invisible visuals, a musical score that was turn-on
turn-off and incongruous with the story in the background, the inexplicable
hurried execution that makes the movie look more like a collection of trailers
– where does one even start? The only saving grace is that with a few minor
exceptions, each of the actors looked their part. If you are generally a period
movie buff, I suppose this is a must-watch, simply because there is so little
of the stuff going around. For anyone else, this is an unequivocal miss
9.5/20
