Clearly, this is the film that will finally show Hollywood that not every movie need to be rooted in cold hard logic, and things could be *gasps* made up!Sir Thomas Sean Connery said:

They aren't as bad as the character designs from transformers, and that shit already released it's 4th movie.Saetha said:
So, uhh, just a question to those out there that did see Hercules, How accurate is it to the myths and such?
I'm not usually the biggest stickler for this sort of thing, but according to the trailers, this movie looks about as accurate as the Disney movie. Unless I just forgot about the trial of Hercules where he battles Hades's legions of zombie warriors, (cuz Hades is always evil, amiright greek mythology fans?) It's too bad ol' Herc has to be just an action movie. I'd totally love to see The Rock Suplex an entire river to clean cow shit out of a barn.

[spoiler/]The trailers have almost nothing to do with the movie. The real story is about how Hercules has built up the legend with stories when really he's just a normal warrior with a whole team who helps him out. There's basically no magic or mythological creatures and the plot is more about him becoming the hero he's been pretending to be.[/spoiler]
The short-term projections will probably be right, but the long-term projections, if Cinema Snob's midnight screening indicates anything, will be the opposite. Hercules actually turned out pretty good for an action movie, completely re-imagining its source material. Lucy ended up being rather meh.
Hint: Pretty much most of Hercules's trailer is filled with the first two minutes of the movie. Paraphrasing Snob, it's misleading in a good way.
I actually wish more movies wouldn't reveal everything their movies have to offer, especially when in the case of a lot of movies the only worthwhile parts are what make it into the trailer.

Personally, I had a great time. It felt like how big silly action movies should be done instead of the terrible comedy of the Transformers or the overly serious, overly nostalgic feel of something like the Expendables.FPLOON said:
Keep in mind, however, that this is coming from someone who greatly enjoys The Rock as an actor since it's still completely his movie.
But yeah, the trailer are less bait and switch and more stinky pile of poo and switch since they make it look less interesting than it is.
