“The Legend of
Hercules.” The title lies. Hack director Renny Harlin serves an
unforgiving “Gladiator” knock-off dud that fumbles Greek mythology.
Legendary? Herculean? A shit show not worth my time. D-

Me
My take on films by
- Steven D. A. Mackay
- I love movies that thrill, challenge, move and excite me, no matter their genre, origin, year of creation, or language. I detest being pandered to and insulted, or blinded by glitz. For the sport of writing I will keep my reviews to 200 words or less. Not always, but for the most part. Some films demand a long response, be they great, bad, or simply baffling. I am a writer by trade, and if I cannot be precise, I need to be silent. Also know this: I do not turn my brain off or leave my brain at the door when I watch a movie, I have plenty of time to not think after I die. Hope you enjoy, even if you disagree.

I couldn't stop staring at Hercules' teeth.
ReplyDeleteSo bad. In my review of this, I likened the film to a mighty dump.
