There’s just enough plot to keep the movie lurching forward, and there are plenty of battle scenes to delight connoisseurs of carnage. – Stephen Farber
The mythical Greek strongman gets a refreshingly human spin in Brett Ratner’s grandly scaled, solidly entertaining popcorn pic. – Scott Foundas
Idiocy and excess is rarely this much fun – but Brett Ratner’s Hercules is just the kind of macho madness that this comic book version of the myth requires when Dwayne Johnson is the chosen one. – Bruce Kirkland
With repeated themes of emotional trauma, running from your demons, and facing the consequences of your actions, Hercules is a deceptively textured and layered action movie. – Tim Martain
Refreshing in that it never takes itself too seriously. Just a fun, ninety-minute action ride. Beautifully shot. – Chris Bumbray
Hercules is a creaky bit of cheap-looking, inconsequential fluff that squanders any potential and contains not a jot of passion, imagination or creativity. So, in summary, it’s a Brett Ratner film. – David James
