Why people hate this when haven't even seen it?


For me it looks OK film and I have seen lot of movies. It has a 70 mil. budget and usually half of the budget goes for marketing the film so here we come to 35 mil. insted of 70 mil. And for me it looks pretty neat for that budget.

I will tell you why, I am not saying I hate it but I can tell you where the hatred is coming from. It appears that took a movie idea that would appeal to males aged 13-49, and casted it for women aged 13-49. Plus the story is seeming to center on a love story rather than kicking the hell out of Titans, Hydras, and maybe a few gods

you cant judge a movie by the trailer, all or most trailers suck.

There is not a single scene or line in the trailer that I havent seen anywhere else.

It is like they took a hundred movies, tried to get the best scenes and lines from them, and decided to put into a movie.

The trailer alone has so many settings, themes and stupid one liners that it makes me think if this isnt the most unoriginal movie EVER.

Outside of the trailer looking a bit cheesy it might also be due to the fact that there is another Hercules movie coming out the same year that people are more excited about. Hollywood coming out with movies that are almost the same is nothing new. But coming out with two unrelated movies that have the same main character is pushing it a little far for me.

People are hating on it because of the lead they cast is terrible and the fact that the director/writer is a huge joke. The fact that the trivia for this movie says the following: "When Kellan Lutz first landed the role, he said that physique-wise he wanted to get really big to portray Hercules. But director Renny Harlin told him not to get bigger, but to "get his abs to pop out more". So Kellan Lutz went with the look that his director had in mind." This tells you what they cared about when they made the movie..

Mark the words of the audience. The people have spoken. This is gonna be one of the top 10 bad films of the year. Its apparent from the trailer. This actor is gonna bleed after this movie releases and wonder how he will survive in the industry.

Yup, i really am curious what's going to happen to the actors, this movie is going to be very bad but i think certain people are going to like it because of the action scenes and some other things


sorry if there are any mistakes i am foreign and i try improve my english

It's like you took me thoughts from my head and wrote a perfect premonition.

The things that points to this are:

1. No real story.

2. Overly "cute" and "perfect" characters.

3. PG13 rating.

4. Over-the-top-pastel-CGI

5. Cheesy one-liners.

6. Shininess all over.

"half of the budget goes for marketing the film"

The budget listed doesn't include marketing. It's just the cost of creating the film.

I don't 'hate' this movie just yet and I'm gonna rate it properly when it comes out, but I'm not impressed by the trailer...

Potential 'Generic movie of the year award' anyone?

Well, we just have to wait and see, but judging by the trailer it ain't gonna be that *bad*, but cliched and trite.
