It's a disease. Left untreated, it could turn in to Halitosis Tranny Breath Farty Pants.

I used to play Mad Libs too.

You can;'t have someone as famous as The Rock playing a fabled character. When Steve Reeves played Hercules back in the late 50's he was little known he became Hercules.

Maybe like the lead singer for Buckcherry.

Sure you can. That plus murdering CGI animals is how you try to make your money back.

After about 15 minutes I was thinking......is this gonna suck? Then it picked up and turned out to be pretty good. The Rock looked massive, I'm guessing when he learned of the role he got serious in the gym (and probably a little help).

Obviously these kinds of movies are all the...wow!..factor, I have no problem saying....wow!

Yep, well worth the time and "all" that $$$$$$.

Michael Moor 's Elric of Melniborn a must for Hollywood, why it hasn't been done yet....??????

Steve Reeves was something else, he got me into lifting. There will never be anyone where ya think "Hercules" like Steve Reeves.

But.......obviously with todays technology a 1959 sword & sandel flick stands no chance. While neither did the actual Hercules story any justice the 2014 version far superior when it comes to the....wow!.....factor.

No Hercules movie (ton of Italian tries) have ever told the real story. I doubt you/very few know how Hercules died.

When have we ever seen Herc step in for Atlas in holding up the sky, or the 12 labors done in depth?

If you recall in the 59 version we see a real Lion playfully wreslting with Herc. And that bull head was ridiculous (or was that Hercules Unchained).

Come to think of it I have never seen the Ferrigno one, why?

For once Avante and I agree about something.

It was fun way to spend a couple hours. The movie very rarely tried to be too serious and that makes it work. It's no great work of art but as a summertime popcorn flick it delivers.

When I saw the gang with him I thought....this will blow it.....nope, it actually helped things which surprised me.

Yep, ya don't go to "Hercules" movies looking for anything other than popcorn and a ...wow!
