Hercules movie, saved by Hades

Rating: 6/10 (23 November 2019)

It's absolutely criminal that Hades (James Wood), by a large margin the best part of the flick, has so little screen time. Every single one of his interventions and lines was either funny, great (or both). The character's design is strange, but it couldn't be better for this interpretation of Hades. The final act (in which one he participates a lot) is really good and completes a simplistic theme/message in the movie. With all of this, the movie gets a pass as a good film, even if not Disney's best.
From the rest, there is little to nothing to praise. The animation and designs are questionable, the score and songs, poor. The voice actors, boring. The jokes, ok at best. The story basic and unremarkable. There is one line "being famous is not the same as being heroic" that sounds like social commentary (how we are obsessed with being famous/successful while the best thing is being heroic/morally better), but is not supported in the rest of script, so I'm not convinced it is more than a good line and nothing else.
