Another reason user reviews suck !!!


Ok so this movie was not good at all and had very few good parts except of course some cool battle and fight scenes. I'll go on my crusade with not listening to a thing the people on IMDB have to say regarding user reviews.. No movie deserves a 1 if it was made let alone had a wide release and big budget (my opinion). Most people that review think that they are professionals and are FAR from it. I read one that said quote " Wanted to be 300 worse than gladiator"..???? . How does that make any sense when gladiator (which is a classic) came out years before 300 (another Great War movie, not better than gladiator). Now how are you supposed to read that and not go see a movie ?? If I didn't go see movies based on these "professional" IMDB users reviews then I'd never see a movie. Oh and btw, this movie does not deserve close to a 1 or even a 2 or 3, it deserves at lowest a 4 if you really hated it. I for one gave it a generous 6 cause I like old Greek themed war movies with the Gods and all that stuff. Now I'm not saying all the reviews on IMDB are bad and that people aren't entitled to their opinion but when it's babbling non sense that's just getting people not to see a movie then it misses the point of the review. Make a negative review at least have something worth while in it to back up not seeing a film !! This Hercules wasn't all that good by any means and you wouldn't be missing out if you didn't watch it but since it's now on cable and there's nothing on it's worth a watch, like I said , it has some cool action and epic battle scenes but that's about it and the acting isn't to good

THERES NO ROOM IN MY CIRCUS TENT FOR YOU !!!

mpboylanjr: firstly, THANK YOU for your post. You covered a lot of ground in it and I couldn't agree more!! No movie made deserves a 1 for a rating, no matter how perceivably 'bad' it may be. I, for one, appreciate seeing someone, like yourself, telling it honestly!!

I agree, it was better than a 1. I gave it a 2.

I gave it s 3 on account of a few fight scenes. Only once have I ever given a movie a 1. That was The Man with the Iron Fists. It was horrible in every aspect.

I agree with you on lots of your points. I gave it a 5... but that's only because I'm a sucker for movies like this. It really deserves a lower ranking. The story was all over the place. I wish we saw more about the brotherhood that he had with his bro.
