Please tell me they weren't taking themselves seriously, please, please, please. Please!
They literally used every possible cliché, so much that I managed to figure out almost every last detail of what's going to happen ten minutes in. Literally.
I'm not even gonna get anywhere near the displayed (lack of) acting abilities by the actors[?].
Well I enjoyed this movie a lot. Why? because the acting are top notch. The story and plot was solid too because it allowed me to guess who was the traitors etc before they reveal it and by that I mean the scout and Hercules ex-king.
The only thing I unable to guess was who set up the ambush with the large stream of tribesman in green paint? I'm guessing they're the one responsible for village pillaging?
I also want to add something:
The new Hercules (2014) give us a sense of real reality that every son of God was man made. It was all about the story teller brainwashing us and its up to us to accept it or go "hmmmm nope"
This new Hercules is better than the myth version imo because it reflect the real reality Hercules has to face and he can't do it alone, he need his trusted companions to pull off a Godly stun.
This movie kinda remind me Jesus. He end up dying because his own people got jealous and plotted his death. "If it bleed, it can be kill" even if its a son of God and we all know those that die on the cross has to experienced the most horrific pain imaginable.
That's reality my friend.
It's a good bad movie, and the Rock is superb in the title role.
shareI, for one, always find great credibility in critiques of films that begin with OMFG.
