About this movie

Fourteen hundred years ago, a tormented soul walked the earth that was neither man nor god.  Hercules was the powerful son of god king Zeus, for this he received nothing but suffering his entire life. After twelve arduous labors and the loss of his family, this dark, world-weary soul turned his back on the gods finding his only solace in bloody battle.  Over the years he warmed to the company of six similar souls, their only bond being their love of fighting and presence of death.  These men and woman never question where they go to fight or why or whom, just how much they will be paid.  Now the King of Thrace has hired these mercenaries to train his men to become the greatest army of all time. It is time for this bunch of lost souls to finally have their eyes opened to how far they have fallen.

I was told before I saw this movie that it was amazing so I went into it expecting something special....it was ok, I'll probably end up watching it again sometime but it's not made my top 20, I can't quite put my finger on what this film is missing but it has moments that have the potential for epicness it just falls slightly short.

If you were expecting the movie to be like the trailer with mythological things happening I suggest you do not rent or buy this movie. My husband and I were very excited to see this movie, especially since the trailers seemed to be suggesting lots of mythological action. We were highly disappointed. Had the trailers depict the movie as it was, this movie would have been decently good. The same scenes you see in trailer lasted just as long as they did in trailer, and to make it worse, was only story telling.

The movie debunks itself. You basically find out the monsters he killed were only figurative, and that he really just killed hyped-up men. In the end, the message of the film is that you can do great things just by believing you're good enough to do them (see SNL's Stuart Smalley).
