Ben Larson I have to laugh when I hear someone complain about the fact that the costumes are not "historically accurate." This is a tale of Herecles, for gods sake. No one was there! They could have all been naked.The dialog is certainly misogynistic. It was pretty pitiful writing, but they made more than one dig about women. Apparently, like doctors introducing porn to make it seem legitimate, they feel using these tired clichés serve a greater purpose.Anthony Quinn played Herecles' father, Zeus, and was the most interesting character in the movie.Herecles managed to have an imaginative response to the women as they sought to rape and pillage.

thaichas I cant understand why anyone would watch this for more than a few minutes. I sat and laughed at the truly horrible dialogue until I couldn't stand any more and switched to something else.Costumes were designed along the lines of Dallas cheerleaders outfits: Design premise: lets show as much female flesh as we can . .the heck with historical accuracy or even common sense.In fact the ONLY reason I can think anyone would watch this is for the female eye-candy. My advice: turn off the sound, put on a nice CD and enjoy. Anthony Quinn needed a better agent. Sad to see him stoop so low. He should have gotten involved in something more fitting: commercials selling airline seats or perhaps pizza.

movieman_kev In the first of a series of TV movies that would lead up to the show, we're introduced to Kevin Sorbo in the role he was born to play (no not Kull the Conqueror(, Hercules. He's going to be the best man in the wedding of Iolaus (Michael Hurst), when they decide to go off on one more adventure together before Iolaus weds to face men-hating feminist Amazons (I know that term is VERY redundant) who worship Hera. It starts off well enough, but unneeded "moralizing" combined with a cop-out ending. Some good action is able to offset that somewhat.Eye Candy: An extra is topless for a split-second My Grade: C+

Op_Prime This is excellent beginning to the best version of Hercules. Kevin Sorbo is perfect for the role and gives a great performance. There is wall to wall action here and a great story to match. I recommend it to everyone. A very high thumbs up on this one.
