The Legend of Hercules

It had all the makes of a truly amazing epic.

Many of the historical Herculean myths were present, although some were out of place.

Many parts of Hercules’s life were incorrect, such as his birth, but I believe this movie was not supposed to be about the Hercules, but used him as inspiration.

The special effects were well used, the only exception being in the early scene with Hercules playfully chasing after Hebe, where she turned around to look at him; it appeared as a 60s background screen.

The moments that were meant for 3D viewing were not pleasant, and it was annoying how it slowed down every time.


The naming of Hebe is confusing, for Hebe is the goddess of youth. Perhaps her parents wanted the goddess’s favor, or the screenwriter hasn’t read his mythology.
