[10/10 · 7 January 2017]

Ηercules 2 is of the best sequel of Disney. I usually try to watch all of the Disney sequels I can, and have certainly been disappointed a few times, but this movie is proof to me that, sometimes, they do a great job! The film briefly gives Hercules' history after defeating Hades for good, in which he marries Meg and revisits his teenage years. In particular, it shows an adolescent Hercules's enrollment and the beginning of his adventures at the Prometheus Academy, a school for gods and mortals, which Hercules supposedly attended during the time when he was training to be a hero with his mentor, the satyr Philoctetes. After the Minotaur wrecks several temples in Athens, Hercules teams up with the Grim Avenger, a superhero who narrates his every move and is really Theseus (Eric Stoltz), a visiting prince who likes Cassandra (and who Adonis and Icarus mutually hate) to stop the beast, and finally Hercules is having trouble dealing with Adonis, so when he mentions it to his father, Zeus tells him to show him who's in charge. Hercules warns it's not that easy, so to prove him wrong, Zeus spends a day as a teenager. In total there are three very nice and funny stories.
