Main problem with Hercules-movies (and many other franchises) is that you know how it ends (since it's based on the Hercules-mythos).
More interesting with movies/stories that surprise you not only during but also at the end.
I can watch ten commandments, Ben hur, Gladiator, Spartacus(1960), etc.. even though I know how they end..
I appreciate the acting, scenery, the vulnerability of the characters, the correct use of the language.
Nowadays anyone is an actor.. Puff daddy, 50 cents are actors, producers.. WTF???!! The era of Idiocracy!!
