Hercules (1988 Video)
10/10
What do you think?

This is, by unanimous decision of all who know about it, the Best Hercules Movie Ever. Whenever someone refers to the best Hercules, it is always by Best Hercules. Not Heracles or Herakles or whatever, but Best Hercules. OK, it may not be that good, but it sure beats Disney's. Disney made, back in the year, a trashy Las Vegas In Greece sort of film which made a sorry attempt to fetch in some cash. Ew... Now then: basically you have the story of Hercules. This Hercules is the best. That's still not very good, but there you have it. Spoilers? This is the ultimate late arrival spoiler. This story is thousands of years old and -OK, just forget it. Remember those terrible dollar store movies you saw as a kid that tried to adapt the Bible? This is way better, yet worse at the same time. Way better (still abysmal, yet the best) in that... well, it simply is. Its animation is slightly better and its acting is better, although by 0.1. On the other hand, it's still a trashy dollar store movie with repeated animations which aren't that good to begin with. And it's Greek mythology. It can therefore be painful to watch, but it won't make your eyes bleed or cause gastrointestinal exorcism as your Disney version did. 11/10 would celebrate using iconic arms-pose again Ironically, Best Hercules made his big appearance in The Frollo Show, and not in his own movie. Relying on animated web fanfiction? Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here, but at least he earned it. The trashy Vegas Hercules only made it because he had Disney attached to his name. Sheer luck, handed down to him.
