The plot is pretty predictable and poor. I've found no real excitement or surprise through out the movie. Acting and casting was just horrible. Very unconvincing and somewhat clumsy acting. For me this was a truly sad experience. Here I was expecting a story about Hercules, mythology, wars... And the story turned out to be a classic save the princess cliché without a twist, which I found even more disappointing. Hercules was made no more special than some average Joe. Not enough emphasis on him. Very underdeveloped characters. It's a shame, could've been fun... The effort is obvious in some visual components and effects, but lacks in other places.
