Why so much hype?

Perfectly adorable

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Far Surpassed expectations of the 4.2 IMDb rating!! "Hercules Reborn" is a swords and sandals action epic with twists & turns! The picture quality boasts extraordinary: clarity, details, and HD. John Hennigan had a dynamic screen presence and was believable as Hercules (unlike Kellan Lutz). Hennigan did great work with the Action sequences (his Pro Wrestling experience paid off vastly). Dylan Vox played a diabolical villain!!! Christina Wolfe was the damsel in distress, but she had some fight in her! Production found some truly Spectacular sets in Morocco. They made it work somehow (even on a shoestring budget!). I would rank this Hercules as being better than "The Scorpion King" sequels and the "In The Name of the King" sequels. Some people criticize and bash movies from Asylum, but "Hercules Reborn" was a fairly decent effort. "Hercules Reborn" was better than "The Legend of Hercules" (even though they both currently have a 4.2 IMDb rating). "The Legend of Hercules" had a 70 Million budget. "Hercules Reborn" is a remarkable achievement for Asylum considering its small micro budget. John Hennigan is a star on the rise!!

this is not amusement its obvious that cast and producers know nothing about ancient Greece nor Hercules nor Roman or may be they supposed that no one will notice that they are faking every thing in this film this is waste for time i barely hold myself and forced myself to continue watching this film bad acting bad clothes bad weapons even fake emotions Hercules is not the main character not even near to become second hero in this film i feel that he came to say i'm no god shame on everyone participated in this joke i rate this 1 star because there is no ( -1 ) star don't waste your time watching it better watch documentary about ancient Greece

As another reviewer points out, 2014 is the year of Hercules. This is probably one of three or maybe even four. What is almost certain is that you're looking for one of the other ones.Unfortunately I can't agree with the reviewer who gave this 7 stars. There's no merit in doing something badly. A guilty secret is still bad even if *you* are compelled to like it. You should know deep down it's tripe. Look outward and compare it to a great. Because by greatness (or indeed rubbish) is the 10 star rating defined. If this was a 7 then movies like Alien, Pulp Fiction etc would have to earn another star at least.Bad acting. Bad script. Bad story. Bad costume. Bad movie. Avoid.

If that drunk idiot can call himself Hercules, I can call myself Emma Watson. This movie is only fun if you hate films. I really believe that even the actor's parents are ashamed of this garbage. I have no words for the acting, because yes, it is that bad. Even the large, very large, amount of blood couldn't save it. It was ketchup and I swear I saw jam once or twice. It can't come as a surprise that, besides the actors and special effects, the movie is historically incorrect. The clothes are ancient roman, not ancient Greek. With the amount of make-up used it's like they weren't even trying.If you want to lose 2 hours of your life, I recommend this movie. If not: RUN. LIKE. HELL.
