A different twist on the legendary character from Greek mythology... Dwayne Johnson does a noteworthy performance as the superhuman, God-like Son of Zeus! Special effects are amazing and the 3D technology really adds some emphasis to this tale of a 'betrayed' hero (watch it to find out how)! A nice addition to my movie library! I enjoyed it!!!

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 phenomena 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’ family being butchered by King Eurystheus – who spread rumors to the effect that Hercules had butchered his wife, Megara, and their three children, and deceiving him into believing that Rhesus was bent on dividing Greece, when, in fact, he had colluded with Lord Cotys, who had poisoned Ergenia’s husband to seize the throne by keeping the true heir to kinghood –Ergenia’s son, Arius, captive, and deceiving Hercules into believing that his father, Zeus’ wife, Hera, had beset him with the task of defeating twelve mythical creatures owing to jealousy over her husband having mated with a mortal woman, Hercules’ mother, Alcmene, and engaging Hercules and his band of mercenaries 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, and defying his oracle, Amphiaraus - who had prophesized Hercules’ and his own death, to defeat an entire army he had trained to the point of invincibility and, thereby, claiming his rightful place as the legend of the true hero, which resides in each and everyone one of us, as Mariah Carey implied in her song, Hero.
