This movie does not really deserve a 10, but I felt I must somehow counter the single star bashing given by the few self styled 'experts' at the beginning.
This movie certainly does not deserve those ignorant reviews, and the 3.8 stars, especially when a C movie like 'Machete Kills' can get a 5.8!
This is a well made movie, convincing story, some hair raising action sequences. The 3D effects are also top-notch. In fact I'm planning to watch it again with friends.
So it is not faithful to the accepted 'origin' of Hercules ... who cares? He's a fictional character anyway! Watch Discovery if you are looking for a documentary.
And what makes a movie like '300' better than this one, I wonder?
I'm so thankful I saw this movie ignoring the negative comments at the beginning. I get the feeling that the spate of 'awful / worst' movie comments have been orchestrated for reasons unknown.
I say, just go and watch it, you won't be sorry ... it's worth every penny.
