Allan Johnson Chicago Tribune 10/02/2018
Hercules works as a campy romp because star Sorbo is having fun with the role, and neither he nor the producers are taking the character and the setting seriously. Go to Full Review Adam Sandler Variety 06/26/2018
While it may be pretty heady stuff for a guy to slay demons, gods and creatures for a living, writer John Schulian nonetheless succeeds in giving the half-man, half-god believable vulnerability. Go to Full Review Rick Sanchez IGN Movies 10/02/2018
