Don't listen to the negative reviews
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Pick up a few names of ancient myths, add up a few antique locations, erase everything that made up the whole thing, gave it soul and kept the stories lasting for millennia. Dismember various things, rob the characters of their backgrounds. Then add something completely foreign, as long as it looks antique. 1200 BC or 200 AD - obviously does not matter. Sp the year 2000 is the same as the year 600? Then let the figures of antiquity act like people living today. And finally you have this cinematic crime.
It has a lot of potential, the story of Hercules portrays a strong willed, brave character. If a second is released, it should include a more graphic approach to fighting as it was pitiful, the chosen main character was the correct choice but the story line needed some tweaks. All in all I would thoroughly like to see a second movie maybe re-made.

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. The Legend of Hercules suffers from a really bad script and plot and Renny Harlin's once promising career has went straight to hell although the action sequences are good looking the rest of the film is this low budget over blown story that takes things from Gladiator and 300 the problem with directors this days and movies like this it's that they don't bother to even read the mythology of this people i can pass the whole thing with 300 but here? it's just a big mess.
Amphitryon and his army fight to the gates of Argos, Greece, circa 1200 BC. Amphitryon challenges the incumbent king to one-on-one combat to avoid hundreds of further deaths. Amphitryon wins and becomes king of Argos. Queen Alcmeme is not pleased with this result, and implores the goddess Hera for relief for her city from the conqueror. Hercules is conceived (via Zeus) in response.Hercules (called Alcide in the front end of his life) is second in line to his brother Iphicles for the throne of Argos. Bad blood arises soon enough over Princess Hebe, whom Hercules loves and whom Amphitryon promises to Iphicles. To separate the brothers, Amphitryon sends Hercules and soldiers to Egypt on a mission. This does not go well for Hercules and his ally Sotiris. Will the hero find his way out?The set design was much worse than the camera work was good. The use of slow motion was ridiculous. The words Hercules, Zeus, and Hera had a bit of similarity to common usage. The story is nonsense, beginning to end, with little to do with any of the usual versions of the history of Hercules.It's difficult to like this one.
