Hercules (2014) / Z-View
Hercules (2014)
Director: Brett Ratner
Screenplay: Ryan J. Condal and Evan Spiliotopoulos
Stars: Dwayne Johnson, Ian McShane, John Hurt, Rufus Sewell and Joseph Fiennes.
The Pitch: “Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is Hercules.”
Tagline: “Before he was a legend, he was a man.”
The Overview: Beware of Spoilers…
Hercules (Johnson) travels with a band of mercenaries travel the world working for the highest bidder. After they have trained a warlord’s army they learn that his motives were not what they seemed.
Johnson is a great Hercules and I like the idea that his fellow mercenaries add freely to his reputation to make their enemies more fearful. I would have liked to have seen less CGI, less team Hercules and more HERCULES!
