Movie Information

King Amphitryon's (Scott Adkins) thirst for power and warmongering has disgusted Queen Alcmene who prays Hera, wife of Zeus for guidance. The Queen agreed to bore the son of Zeus, a half-god and half-man blessed with extraordinary strength in order to save the world and her people. While the King was celebrating his victory, Zeus visited the Queen and soon gives birth to Hercules, but was named Alcides (Kellan Lutz) by the King. 20 years later, Hercules fell in love with Hebe (Gaia Weiss), princess of Crete. Jealousy grown in his older brother, Iphicles (Liam Garrigan) and ask the King to bethroth Hebe as her wife and sending Hercules to Eqypt to a planned assassination with a small army of soldiers.

Hercules went through slavery with Captain Sotiris (Liam McIntrye) and fooled the vicious promotor (Stefan Shterev) to send them to Greece in order to fight an arena battle with six undefeated gladiators for fame and money. While Hercules defeated the six gladiators, Captain Sotiris gathered the rest of the army under the King to be under his command after the King began using mercenaries to demand money from smaller villages.

A fight broke out between the King and Hercules which eventually Hercules prevailed in the war, but losing his loved one, Hebe, while trying to prevent his Iphicles from hurting him. A prophecy that Hera has mentioned to him in a rundown house.
     


The Six Undefeated Gladiators Died Too Fast ?

I think this part of the movie was quite unjustifiable since it has been said that they have been undefeated, killing them was much easier in the movie than Hercules fighting in the ring cage and two monsters earlier on in the movie. Maybe they are rushing to end the show soon.

Conclusion

Good movie for men who loves the fight, women for Hercules' great body. The movie was rather fast pace and fighting was throughout the movie that keep you out from boredom. However, throughout the show, Zeus did not show face at all. Weird. Rating: 7/10
