Thought you knew the story behind Hercules?
5 out of 5 stars
Thought you knew the story behind Hercules?
What if, as the move explains, he was just a very strong man with a strong publicist? How did he get to own those credentials? Why was the 3-headed dog guarding Hades hunting Hercules? What really happened to his wife and children? How did he accomplish his twelve golden tasks from his step-mother Hera the goddess to re-earn her favor? So many questions to be answered and only 2-hours to do so. I went in to see it with the hope of seeing Zeus and the other Gods. Silly mortal was I.Hint: The movie does explain all to its audiences, and does so very well, neither confirming the Gods or dispelling them; leaving that up to you to choose. The movie did so well, in fact, it earned a sixth star if it were mine to give. Dwayne did real acting in this one, not just eye-candy.

Simply Awesome. intelligent take on the Legend of Hercules. Try to remember that the story of Hercules was a very very old oral tradition long before it was written. Long before there was writing. For instance, (and not to be a spoiler), part of the mythos the legend of Centaurs...is probably a very old memory (no telling how old), of a time when the art of horse riding was not widely known. People hunted horses for food - not taming and riding. Such would be the memory of any tribe or people who first encounter-----the shocking sight of a man on a horse. It had not been seen or even envisioned by any people for a very long time.before such a meeting.

Similarly, when the Spanish came to conquer the Americas, horse riders were viewed by Native Peoples as a two headed 6 legged monster..or even gods. Here too the Spanish capitalized on that shock, while Native Peoples gradually killed off the Conquestadors And their horses. When that happened the Original Peoples adopted the art of horse riding ---and they too have their "Horse Legends". The plains tribes became legendary Horse Warriors and Hunters. The blood lines of the original Spanish horses introduced in the Americas, and bread by the Original People l runs strong to this day in the west and southwest - to this day. And that is a "True" legend.

Remember that the tale of Hercules was written down in a time when writing was still novel, "literate" people were still very rare, even kings and queens likely could not read or write a word. Aaah scribes. What has come down to us are just scraps and pieces that has somehow survived time. That similarly the oral traditions - the racial memory - were already dimmed by immense time.when they were set to stone and vellum. We are no better than the scribes and historians of that ancient day - we can only catch a glimpse - and mourn what was lost for the telling of even more ancient days.and Not recorded.

In Ancient Greece (cradle of Democracy) many were the families that claimed direct lineage to Hercules. It was these people who commissioned the writing of the Oral story of Hercules. Even that version of the story that has come down to us,(and others like ir) still informs and in part directs our notion of Freedom and Democracy even as it did in days of old.

This is a thoughtful, intelligent, action packed story of Hercules. However it is told, the message is the same, Battle evil, find courage and strength in persistence, strive for better lives for you and your people, battle evil for in the end you choose your fate and like Hercules -become a Hero.

We are a civilized people, our best weapon of choice IS the written word, negotiation, petitions, even your vote.....The pen is mightier than the sword. These days the battles for good are no less fierce than the Labors of Hercules, but the lesson is still the same -for persistence in the face of insurmountable odds, persistence and courage fighting the good fight- Will Prevail. Be a Hero. Vote in this Democracy that was born in the days of Hercules.

Oh yeah. This is a Must watch. Avery good movie.

Last summer saw a rebirth of the Hercules legend with its genesis in Hollywood with Mr. America/Pro. Universe, Steve Reeves (the muscle man who was featured in comic books that created a generation of bullied youths who took up the sport with the view of payback) which later featured Arnold Schwarzenegger's role model as an aspiring bodybuilder in Austria, the next major champion to defeat Steve Reeves as Mr. Pro. Universe, U.K.'s Reg Park (who was given first class travel arrangements and accommodations for his role), which will later be played by Lou Ferrigno (who had the most successful run of Hercules movies and whom most cinema audiences associate with the Hercules franchise), a role which Arnold will later assume in the box office flop Hercules in New York; given the fact that the last Hercules movie featuring Arnold was in the seventies, Renny Harlin figured it was time to reboot the entire franchise with a box office flop entitled, The Legend of Hercules, in the same manner that Rupert Wyatt deemed necessary to reboot the critically acclaimed Planet of the Apes franchise that was based on Pierre Boulle's Ape Planet, which had a successful run in the seventies as a box office trilogy and was serialized for TV - given its unsuccessful reboot as a franchise by Tim Burton, resulting in a similar reboot to the Hercules franchise this summer in a phenomenal box office hit by Brett Ratner, featuring awesome CGI by Double Negative, and the most awesome physique since Arnold and Lou - with Dwayne Johnson, playing Hercules and the handsome Ingrid Bolso Berdal playing Atalanta, the only female heroine, with Hercules being commissioned by King Eurystheus to serve as protector of Rome to defeat twelve mythical creatures that was threatening the empire, which was supposedly sent by his father, Zeus' wife, Hera, to task Hercules owing to jealousy over her husband having mated with a mortal woman, Hercules' mother, Alcmene, following which he butchered Hercules's family and spread rumors to the effect that Hercules had butchered his wife, Megara, and their children, and, having done so, banished Hercules from Rome, following which Hercules transforms into a mercenary for hire and finds himself being commissioned by Lord Coty to train an army of peasant to rise against Rhesus (which gave birth to Obama and John Kerry's strategy in Syria and Iraq) - who was the only one who rose in protest against Lord Cotys after he has poisoned Ergenia's husband to claim the throne, with Hercules, eventually, uncovering the truth from Ergenia and turning against Lord Cotys, who was colluding with King Eurystheus in an attempt at world conquest, and, having done so, discovering Hercules defying him, and unearthing the truth about what King Eurystheus did to his family, and, thereby, turning against the invincible army he had trained and successfully defeating them, defying the prediction of his oracle, Amphiaraus - who had prophesized Hercules' and his own death, thereby, claiming his rightful place as the legend of a true hero, which resides in each and everyone one of us as Mariah Carey implied in her song, Hero.

Although it sits in the gray area between Frank Miller ultraviolence and a faithful theatrical adaptation, The Rock's Hercules manages to avoid the catastrophic pitfalls of the modern CG retelling. It has plenty of pitfalls, but no serious ones and it actually has some fresh ideas to offer.

The movie plays hard into the myth vs reality and I have to applaud the legitimate effort. Playing with the true supernatural vs plausible deniability isn't strictly new, but it's a consistent effort throughout the film and I appreciate the attention to detail required to pull it off. Ian McShane's addition to the cast is a big winner here, he adds a lot to blur those lines. Casting overall is actually very good and they're all used appropriately. Notably, "the girl" warrior doesn't have a dumb romance plot, the Hero is actually strong, the bad guy does bad things. All the beats are there.

The action is pretty good. It does drift over-the-top when Hercules throws dudes 15+ feet routinely -especially problematic given the myth/reality theme. The big sequences are pretty standard lazy Hollywood composition but the smaller sequences of Dwayne Johnson mauling dudes bring it back. Again, the attention to detail with pieces of stone breaking on impact and CG blood & cuts is nice. It's too bad this is PG-13. Overall, a decent Hollywood action movie that doesn't cheap out even as it's playing by the numbers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hercules unplugged!
Reviewed in Germany on May 30, 2015
Zunächst einmal verwundert es mich auch (ebenso wie andere Rezensenten/innen), dass dieser Film dermaßen viel unverdiente Häme einstecken muss, denn die Grundidee dieser neumodischen Herkules-Interpretation (basierend auf der Graphic Novel-Reihe "Hercules: The Thracian Wars") bietet nicht nur eine clevere Story, eine bessere Darstellerriege, gelungenere Action und Schlachtsequenzen und insgesamt eine erheblich professionellere Präsentation als z. Bsp. Liongates trashiger "The Legend of Hercules", welcher ebenfalls vor kurzem erschienen ist, nein, meiner (subjektiven) Meinung nach, schlägt er sich sogar vorteilhafter als die beiden "Kampf/Zorn der Titanen"-Teile und "Krieg der Götter". Gewinnt also gewissermaßen gegenüber allen BigBudget-Movies die sich in den letzten Jahren um die griechische Mythologie gedreht haben. Warum?

Weil er schlicht und ergreifend viel mehr Spaß macht!

Man kann Brett Ratner-Filme mögen oder nicht, sicher ist, der Mann hat nicht nur Gold produziert, aber mit "Hercules" hat er sich definitiv keinen Fauxpas geleistet. Im Making-Of verrät er, dass er schon immer davon geträumt habe ein "Sandalen Epos" zu inszinieren, den Wunsch hat er sich hiermit erfüllt. Genauso Dwayne Johnson. In zahlreichen Interviews ließ er schon verlautbaren, dass es eine Herzensangelegenheit für ihn war in die Rolle des berühmten Halbgottes zu schlüpfen. Wenn man sich seine Filmvita so anschaut und im Hinterkopf weiß, dass er auch schon der "Scorpion King" war, erscheint das nur konsequent, schließlich besitzt "The Rock" inzwischen den Joker ein begehrter Publikumsmagnet zu sein. Als er von dem Projekt hörte, war er sofort Feuer und Flamme und was soll man als Zuschauer anderes dazu schreiben außer: man sieht ihm in jeder Einstellung an wie sehr er Bock auf diese Figur hatte! Herkules erwacht durch ihn (zumindest auf der Leinwand/im Heimkino) zum Leben.

Das Außergewöhnliche an dieser Heldenodyssee (im Gegensatz zu sonstigen Schema F-Hollywood Heldenepen) ist allerdings, dass Herkules nicht alle Aufgaben und Gegner im Alleingang löst und plättet. Ihm steht eine gemischte Gruppe aus verschiedenen Charakteren zur Seite, die ihn bei seinen "Heldentaten" unterstützen und u. a. dafür sorgen, dass sein Ruf bis in den hintersten Winkel der antiken Welt getragen wird. Auch verdingen sie sich als Söldner und ziehen nicht selbstlos von Dorf zu Dorf und retten hilflose Maiden vor finsteren Schergen aus dem Tartaros. Im Grunde hat man hier eine altertümliche Version der "Guardians of the Galaxy" oder eine Konstellation wie aus einem (Pen & Paper) Rollenspiel.
Die Gruppendynamik tut dem Film gut und die Charaktere sind alle hervorragend besetzt. Allen voran glänzt Ian McShane's Amphiaraus, der beständig seinen (dramatischen) Tod voraussieht und welcher dann einfach nicht eintreten will.
Ingrid Bolsø Berdal mimt die Amazonenkriegerin Atalanta mit herber Schönheit und einer beeindruckenden Fitness. Böse Zungen könnten nun wieder behaupten, Atalanta sei nur das Eye-Candy (die Bauchfrei-Rüstung... nun ja, ist ein Argument... aber nett ausschauen tut's trotzdem, nischt wahr?) oder die starke Quotenfrau, aber ich finde, dass wäre gegenüber der Figur wie der Schauspielerin unangemessen. Die Rolle ist vernünftig geschrieben, macht Sinn und ist ordentlich dargestellt. Sie hat absolut ihre Berechtigung in der Handlung. (Zudem werten attraktive Amazonen einen ausschließlich männerdominierten Film immer auf :-) )
Keinesfalls möchte ich an dieser Stelle Autolycus vergessen, der von dem erfahrenen Rufus Sewell meisterhaft verkörpert wird und welcher der Figur, trotz der wenigen Szenen, eine wunderbar sarkastische Note verleiht. Aksel Hennie's Tydeus funktioniert ebenfalls gut, wenngleich dieser nur mit seiner Mimik arbeiten kann um Emotionen zum Ausdruck zu bringen.
Auch der übrige Cast weiß zu überzeugen, angefangen von John Hurt, über Joseph Fiennes und Reece Ritchie.
Einzig Irina Shayk ist mir ein Rätsel und weshalb sie so groß auf dem Cover prangt. Sie hat nur ein paar Sekunden Screentime, spricht kein Wort Dialog und ist darüber hinaus zwar wichtig für Herkules Origin-Story, hat aber sonst keinen bedeutenden Stellenwert. Ergo ein ganz offensichtliche Cover-Lockstrategie um etwaige männliche Kundschaft zum Kauf zu animieren.

Neben der unterhaltsamen Abenteurergruppe fährt der Film imposante Schauwerte auf. Selbstverständlich ist man heutzutage schon Einiges gewohnt und visuell nur noch schwer zu begeistern. Die CGI-Effekte der mythologischen Monster sind teils gut, teils mittelprächtig getrickst, nichtsdestotrotz gelingt es dem Regisseur und seinem Team hier eine recht authentische frühzeitliche Welt zu inszinieren mit einem schönen Thrakien und großartig choreografierten Schlachten. Hier prallen etliche Feinde auf Phalanxen, der Formationskampf wird bildgewaltig eingefangen und die Klingen schlitzen gar nicht so unblutig. Die Musikuntermalung ist entsprechend heroisch und manchmal leicht rockig. Absolut stimmig, aber kein Ohrwurm-Score.

Fazit: Starkes Action-Entertainment mit einem gut aufgelegten Cast, der die Legende um den Göttersohn des Zeus entmystifiziert und ihm einen etwas realistischeren Anstrich verleiht.

Etant très amateur de peplum , je redoutais le pire avec cet "Hercule " ! Et je dois dire que là ;enfin , c'est une très bonne surprise ! La mise en scène et les décors sont "à l'ancienne " avec le minimum d'effets numériques . Ici pas d'abus de ces effets .Le réalisateur a pris un parti réaliste .Et cela marche ! avec une histoire originale chez le roi de Thrace qui s'avère être un tyran .Le Metteur en scène a su renouveler le genre avec un Hercule crédible , revêtu de sa peu se lion et qui manie sa massue avec dextérité .On ne s'ennuie pas du tout dans ces aventures .On voit que les acteurs ont pris un plaisir visible à jouer ensemble ! Atalante , amie d' Hercule est splendide et efficace . Tous les héros sont attachant : Tydée , Amphiaraos, , Autolycos ....J'ai retrouvé le même plaisir qu'il y a 50 ans quand j'ai découvert "Hercule et la reine de Lydie" de Pietro Franscisi avec Steve Reeves.et Sylva Koscina J 'avais 10 ans à l'époque...et là , miracle avec cet Hercule nouvelle génération ! que du bonheur !
