"Hercules (Dwayne Johnson) is the leader of a band of mercenaries comprising the spear-wielding prophet Amphiaraus of Argos, the knife-throwing thief Autolycus of Sparta, the feral warrior Tydeus of Thebes, the Amazon archer Atalanta of Scythia and his nephew storyteller Iolaus of Athens. Hercules is said to be the demigod son of Zeus, who completed the legendary Twelve Labors, only to be betrayed by Hera, who drove him insane and caused him to murder his wife Megara and their children during a visit to King Eurystheus . Though Hercules's demigod heritage and the truth behind his labors is questioned by everyone, he does display unusual strength and skill in combat. "-Wikipedia
The best Hercules film I have ever seen, I think the Rock is also the best actor to play Hercules. His acting wasn't over the type, his muscles were real, and his presence was commanding. This movie is his best perfomrance to date. Yet his performance does not save this movie from the horrible hands of its director, Brett Ratner. Ratner simply knows how to butcher a movie, a lot of the acting was weak as the story was. I wished a lot of the characters had more depth. I didn't like a lot of the dialogue which seemed so forced at times. There didnt seem to be any chemistry between any of the actors either which brought the value of this movie down. Honestly I suggest you skip this film.
