I’ve yet to see any version of Hercules come close to the mythology so I was not expecting much from the guy who kneecapped the X-Men franchise, so colour me surprised when this turned out to be quite entertaining. ![]() ![]() “Screw you, Renny Harlin!”īased on the graphic novel Hercules: The Thracian Wars this version is helmed by director Brett Ratner who is most known for directing the Rush Hour movies and not epic heroic period pieces so I went into this with heavy trepidations. ![]() Because Hollywood apparently likes to do things in pairs we were treated to two Hercules films in 2014 as if the world was clamouring for another sword and sandal epic starring everyone’s favourite familicide, that’s the murdering of one’s family for those not in the know, and shockingly enough this version actually touches on that aspect of the myth, well kind of.
