This is a movie I probably never would have given a chance if Christy hadn't given me the DVD out of her combo pack. It turned out to be pretty entertaining.Myths abound concerning the warrior Hercules (Dwayne Johnson), most of them told with gleeful pride by his nephew, Iolaus (Reece Ritchie). In truth, the "son of Zeus" is a mercenary with a loyal team, righting wrongs for profit. When he is approached by Lady Ergenia (Rebecca Ferguson) to take sides in the Thracian civil war, he accepts but soon finds that Lord Cotys (John Hurt) is not what he appears.
This is a fun movie. It's based on a graphic novel so it's very action-heavy and the characters have been stripped down to basic archetypes. There's nothing stunningly original about it but it's decent enough to throw on for an evening.
