With influences from other heavily CGI sword and sandal epics like 300 and Immortals, Renny Harlin’s The Legend of Hercules registers as more a lightweight than a heavyweight in the action and fantasy departments. While the legendary muscleman/demigod has toplined many movies in cinema history, The Legend of Hercules does not distinguish itself as one of the best even with decent production values and some respectable talent in the major roles. With The Rock’s version of Hercules coming later on this year, this entry is likely to be quickly forgotten.
