Mitch B I actually enjoyed this movie. The Rock is Hercules. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/10/25 Full Review Faiz D The Rock is truly Hercules! Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review Stephen L Brett Ratner’s Hercules ditches the mythological grandeur for a grounded, war-driven take on the legendary hero, delivering a solid action-adventure that’s more fun than expected. Dwayne Johnson is perfectly cast, bringing charisma and physicality to the role, while the film surrounds him with a strong supporting cast, including Ian McShane and Rufus Sewell, who add levity and grit. Rather than leaning into gods and monsters, Hercules frames its story around battlefield strategy and deception, making for a refreshing twist on the usual sword-and-sandals fare. The action sequences are well-staged, and the film maintains an entertaining pace, though its storytelling is straightforward and predictable. While it may not be the grand epic some hoped for, Hercules is a solid, enjoyable action film that benefits from Johnson’s commanding presence and a lighter, self-aware tone. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review tim k This movie failed in every possible way. The acting was terrible. The FX were laughable. The dialog was juvenile. The movie is trash. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review Ralph R Rewatching Hercules by Brett Ratner didn’t do it any favors. If anything, it felt worse than I remembered back in 2014. The production quality was a major letdown. The costumes and sets looked fake and uninspired, taking away from any sense of immersion. It’s disappointing because the story had the potential to be something great, but it completely failed to deliver a proper message or even a satisfying narrative. There were, however, some bright spots in the acting. Ian McShane, Rebecca Ferguson, Aksel Hennie, and Rufus Sewell stood out with strong performances that brought some much-needed life to the film. As for Dwayne Johnson, he was exactly what you’d expect—charismatic but predictable. His performance was similar to most of his other roles, and while he fits the action-hero mold well, he didn’t bring anything exceptional to this character. The movie had a good plot idea but failed to make it meaningful or memorable. It’s a shame because it could have been so much more if there had been better direction and production. Instead, it ends up feeling like a wasted opportunity. While there are some enjoyable moments, it’s hard to ignore the flaws that hold it back.
