This movie was one of the most exciting of all Hercules movies i have seen. And i have seen quite a few. Paul Telfer is the epitome of what it means to be Hercules. NOW...if someone would just make a fan site for him that would be great. Does anyone have a fanmail address for him? Or somewhere to send mail. I have searched and searched high and low for anything that would resemble an email address or something and i have found nothing.I have send serveral contact to movie production companies, his girlfriend im guessing at the moment and am waiting responces back. I hope something comes of it. Till then Paul Telfer if your out there. You are Hercules, mind body and soul. Help.........a wounded searcher. Anyone.???

This is easily the worst adaptation of Greek mythology I've ever seen. It utterly fails as an adaptation of the original myth, inventing silly plot twists and reducing the 12 labours to... 3 or 4, I think. It makes up utterly needless things to try to integrate other myths in clumsy ways which bring into question the writers' having ever read the myths, like changing birds to harpies, lions to sphinxes, the Oracle of Delphi to Tiresias, and bulls to a pedantic version of Proteus, even integrating aspects, never seen outside of Sam Raimi's entertaining series, concerning his first marriage, to a woman with the co-opted name of one of the Furies so it sounds appropriate to the period.I could accept much of that, but it also fails completely in pure film standards; most painful is the dialogue, leaden, portentous pseudo-Shakespearean tripe. It is a poor re-interpretation of the myths, making a sad attempt at the kind of post-modern revisionism that Crichton's "The 13th Warrior" attempted in regards to the Beowulf legend, while still including the strictly mythological elements such as clear interference from the gods and magical super-strength. A sad, sad failure of an entertainment experience, who I'm sure many of the quality actors involved regret deeply.

I found this movie to be extremely entertaining. It was an excellent take on the life of a hero. It wasn't all candy coated like cartoons that have been made. It was a tad bloody which may make it unsuitable for small children. Actually yes, it's unsuitable for small children so I don't recommend this movie for them. But if you're not queasy or a child - the movie is great. It's not the same as the cartoon - so don't watch it expecting to see the same plot line. I feel that the actors put forth their very best efforts and it showed. Leelee Sobieski had an outstanding performance as well as Paul Telfer as Hercules. A great movie and a worthwhile experience.

My guess would be this was originally going to be at least two parts, and thus at least a quarter longer, because otherwise how can one explain its confused, abbreviated storyline. I was never completely lost, but I was often partially lost and usually unclear on character motivation. The movie feels as though joining plot points were dropped to squeeze it into its time slot.If it were longer, it might make more sense, but it still wouldn't be much good. The movie's most interesting idea is of the war between Zeus and Hera as being a war between the male and female, but the movie drops the ball on this, making Hera's followers fairly horrible while not being clear on what Zeus' followers do or believe. The movie is also interesting because you don't see the gods and there's no real certainty that they exist. So it's got a couple of intriguing ideas, but it doesn't do anything useful with them.Bad dialog, cardboard characters, and one interesting scene involving Hercules and his three antagonistic sons. Not unwatchable but also not worth watching.
