Dwayne Johnson’s broad shoulders hauls Hercules over bumpy terrain and into a thrilling finish, in this latest and biggest take on the mythological hero yet.From Steven Reeves to Arnold Schwarzenegger, muscle men have made swords and sandals movies there place to shine. For Dwayne Johnson, Hercules poses the biggest challenge yet for his box-office clout, with the prolific action star front and centre as the titular character. Johnson passes the test, in turn elevating a film that without his hulking,(Download Hercules Movie) charismatic presence would have stumbled.As directed by Brett Ratner, Hercules is a film of weak visual appeal when compared to the aplomb of 300 and Immortals. Yet unlike recent swords and sandals re-tread Conan the Barbarian, there is much more intrigue to its story and feeling for the characters of Hercules than anticipated, with much Machiavellian scheming amongst the chest pounding action sequences.

Surprising is the choice to focus on Hercules the man rather than the easy fix of Hercules the legend, with the Son of Zeus and his band of mercenaries (Rufus Sewell, Ian McShane and Ingrid Bolso Berdal among them) agreeing to work for a desperate king (John Hurt, bringing the gravitas) to save his kingdom from a tyrannical warlord.Throughout Hercules’s legendary exploits are spouted about much like propaganda,(Download Hercules Movie) leaving us to wonder: Is this man really a demigod? Or is he a colossal mortal of immense skill and courage?What is of no doubt is Johnson’s standing as an action superstar. When he screams with roaring zeal “I…am…Hercules!” you better believe just that, and heaven help those who stand in his way. Along with his incredibly impressive physical presence, Johnson uses his well-honed charisma and undervalued dramatic chops to portray a warrior exalted by his legend yet humbled by tragedy.
An adaptation of the graphic novel “Hercules: The Thracian Wars” by legendary comic book writer Steve Moore, Hercules is a film of steady pace that rides on neutral for a tad too long.But once Ratner flips that switch and Johnson is unleashed, an entertaining and surprisingly enthusiastic swords and sandals actioner is in full swing, with the labours of its opening act paying dividends for the might of Hercules to shine in godly glory. Smartly Brett Ratner leaves the ‘Gods do battle’ stylings of Clash Of The Titans and Immortals to one side in favour of an amusing,(Download Hercules Movie) exciting and entertaining fantasy romp that sees a bearded Dwayne Johnson lead a ‘rag-tag band of warriors’ into battle. Hercules may well only be receiving it first screenings to media a few days before its release date, but it is a stylishly made – if rather familiar – action-adventure that will keep fans of swords-and-sandals films more than happy.
Rather than dipping into mythology – though the film amusingly plays on that concept in its opening scenes – this version of the story is based on the Radical Comics Hercules by Steve Moore, which deconstructs the legend and offers up the story of a man born with the strength of a god and who uses mythology as a way of scaring his enemies.Opening in a busy summer for action films,(Download Hercules Movie) with the latest Transformers and Planet Of The Apes films still showing a certain muscle and the latest Marvel franchise Guardians Of The Galaxy soon to be released, Hercules will rely on a strong opening to power its way to box office domination. That being said, Dwayne Johnson has strong international appeal and it likely the film will be a strong summer performer at the worldwide box office, especially since apart from one use of the ‘F-word’ it favours comic book violence over Conan-style blood and mayhem.
A strong support cast – made up largely of Brits, in the form of Ian McShane, Rufus Sewell, Peter Mullan, John Hurt and Joseph Fiennes – help give the film a certain gravitas, with McShane and Sewell especially dab hands at the more wry and amusing dialogue, leaving Johnson to glower, flex his not-inconsiderable muscles and slay multitudes with sweeps of his club.The film opens with a voiceover detailing the history of Hercules – born the son of Zeus to a mortal mother and who grew into a powerful Demi-God famous for his larger-than-life exploits, including the famous “12 Labours”,(Download Hercules Movie) the most harrowing and terrifying tasks in all of ancient Greece. But as the story develops it turns out the voiceover is being delivered by Hercules’ cousin and storyteller Iolaus (Reece Ritchie), who happens to be in the hands of a villainous band of pirates.It turns out that Hercules leads a band of mercenaries, all blessed with various fighting skills, who trade on his supposed Demi-God status to scare opposition and increase the amount paid to them.
After sorting out those pesky pirates he and his loyal followers are recruited to try and end a bloody civil war in the land of Thrace and return Lord Cotys (John Hurt) to the throne. But as Hercules and his fellow mercenaries use their skills to train troops and win the war they come to suspect they may be being manipulated.This variation on Hercules sees him as a very real human warrior,(Download Hercules Movie) haunted by his past and given solace by his warrior friends and mercenary skills. It is easy to see why Dwayne Johnson was such an easy fit for the role – looking a magnificently muscular as always, he downplays his usual self-deprecating humour and plays the role pretty straight, allowing other around him to provide the laughs. As usual he dominates the film, but there is plenty of room around the edges for others to make an impact. He does, though, get the biggest laugh in the film when expresses his less than warm feelings towards centaurs.Ian McShane, as spear-wielding soothsayer Amphiaraus is amusing and gently profound as a man convinced he cannot die, while Rufus Sewell is perfect as the world-weary Autolycus, a friend of Hercules since they were children and full of smart sarcasm.
Also impressive is Norwegian actress Ingrid Bolsø Berdal as Amazonian archer Atalanta, perhaps the most impressive fighting machine of the whole band.Brett Ratner has some fun with the film’s 3-D effects and keeps the action moving at a smart old pace, delivering some nicely epic battle scenes as the newly trained Thracian army fights off the snarling rebels. The battle sequences are brutal without being overly bloody and Rattner resists heading into super-stylised, slo-mo, 300 type fights,(Download Hercules Movie) preferring to keep the sense of scale, speed of action and physical intensity.Hercules is blessed with a real sense of epic scale and delivers plenty of rather engagingly old-fashioned fantasy action-adventure. It may well be no action classic and certainly lacks the sheer directorial grace or visceral mayhem of films like Gladiator or 300, but it is an impressive piece of mainstream entertainment. Plus Dwayne Johnson is always worth watching!

Strap on your swordbelt, buckle your sandals and oil up your rippling six-pack, because here comes yet another interminable, CGI-drenched mythic mish-mash with far more money than brain cells.(Download Hercules Movie) Dwayne Johnson (we’re no longer allowed to call him The Rock) plays the title character who – in this loose adaptation of Steve Moore’s comic book series – is a mercenary warrior who uses inflated tales of his divine parentage and epic labours to psych out his enemies. Hired – along with a ragtag band of sidekicks who include a seer (Ian McShane), a wisecracking archer (Rufus Sewell) and a Swedish ninja with dreadlocks (Ingrid Bolsø Berdal) – to defend the kingdom of Thrace against a mysterious enemy, Hercules soon finds his past coming back to haunt him in the form of Joseph Fiennes sporting a worrying blond mullet.
Given that its director is the widely derided Brett Ratner (‘Rush Hour’, ‘X-Men: The Last Stand’), it’s no great surprise that ‘Hercules’ is a complete mess: the plot barely hangs together, the characters are meagrely sketched and the 3D digital effects are plasticky,(Watch Hercules Online) indistinct and wearying to look at. The script contains a handful of decent comic asides and there’s one great mid-battle moment where Herc throws a horse, but on the whole this is decidedly non-legendary.
