Looks like it's a new Hercules movie coming out this month, if you are thinking of downloading it for God's sake do not confuse it with "The Legend of Hercules" also released this year



This is one of the worst movies I have seen, if you are expecting some clash of the titans/wrath of the titans mythological goodness then you are in for a deep disappointment. The legend of Hercules is the most unstructured mishmash of a movie I have seen, to use one example the romance scene is basically the same scene recycled 4-5 times without any progress.

As for mythological creatures like the awesome Hydra well there is none except the numidian lion thrown in there for 15secs before it's casually strangled no questions asked.

One of the trailers looked like it was for a new Conan The Barbarian, till the ending.

The Hercules-franchise is getting out-of-control.

They said that after the Italians decided to turn out one Herc flick for every two they produced. Then they said it about spaghetti westerns. They were right both times.

That's just wrong...  Most of both Italian genres have aged like fine wine.   

The Hercules-franchise began to emphasize titillatingly-silky dancing-girl sequences as strong-man stunts became more mundanely contextual with the scripts.

I'd accept "many," but after van Cleef's endless run, and a few others which all turn up on those 50-films-for-$9 bundles...no, after those I can't buy "most." Leone was a brilliant exception but even he couldn't hit the same high mark with non-Eastwood films.

They overstayed their stereotypes.
