I enjoyed it!

It's not the best movie, but it's certainly enjoyable. Some weak parts, some bad effects and some bad acting. But overall an enjoyable movie. I'd rather watch this than some of the other crap that's out there.

I saw the bad reviews and some idiots giving it 1/10. It's certainly not a 1/10 movie, that number should be reserved for the worst movies ever. I gave it 6/10 as it was definitely flawed, but overall good fun.

Some of the dialogue really needs to be re-recorded, as it sounded a bit odd at times. It would have been better if we'd seen more of Hercule's power, all we really got was the scene where he swung the rocks on chains, and the lightning sword.

I will give it a 4.5 or 5 out of 10. The actions scenes were ok,It had two lovley women Roxanne Mckee Gaia Weiss and I am a Scott Adkins fan,I wish he was used more properly in this movie

It did not suck. I have to admit I was surprised. I now have a different kind of respect for Kallen Lutz. He tried and darn near succeeded! Not bad at all....6/10!

It definitely doesn't deserve a 1 but owning a 4 out of 10 seems lightly appropriate, I would give it a 3. When I write this, my aims are not to bash the film but give an analysis.

I am unsure how it even made it into theaters. The directing was not entirely horrid, however the editing is what overall killed it. It's like they decided to make the film and change the dialog afterwards, the voice-overs was terrible and distracting. As many have said before, the CGI was terrible. Last but not least, the choice of actors...wow. I understand they wanted to hire someone that was attractive so they could get a wider audience but at least hire someone who could act. This isn't marked at just the lead but even the supporting cast also; I couldn't stop cringing at every line and performance through most of the movies. I heard this had a huge budget, what happened?

Finally, the overall story was terrible as per the original Hercules.

I am sure the Hercules movie that Stars The Rock will be better

Agreed, although not great it was enjoyable and certainly not worthy of a 1/10 score, yes there is some god awful cgi, terrible historical inaccuracy & wooden acting at times, but there was some good action scenes that keep you entertained! I give it 5/10.

I think sometimes it helps when a movie gets a really low rating, as we expect the worst. Then we can be pleasantly surprised when we actually enjoy it.

I love this style of movie, and while it's no Troy or 300, it's still enjoyable. I'd rather watch this than some boring drama movie.
