This looks terrible--a Gladiator/300/Spartacus wannabe.

agreed. looks like direct to on demand garbage.

They've taken the legend of Hercules and turned him into a gladiator slave. PASS!

I only saw a portion of a preview but It perked my interest. Maybe I need to watch another or something.

Those movies rock though - if it falls in line with them it should be fun, no?

I have to agree that the Trailer has me interested but not if this turns out to be another gladiator movie with just the name Hercules tied in.

Saw it for fun and this is exactly what it was; a really bad version of Gladiator and basically no actual Hercules mythology at all.

In addition to terrible acting, very B-level effects and everything else that was wrong with it, Everything up to like 3/4 of the way through the movie was almost a shot-by-shot (really bad) remake of Gladiator.

He even found a friend in the slave pits and they made it their goal to fight their way back to Rome (oops I mean Greece) and avenge their families.

So bad, so so bad...
