Another Myth Butchered

Rating: 1/10 (4 June 2006)

I think the best metaphor for this piece of disgusting trollop is how Brad Pitt chose to "act" in this film. I would like to note that Brad Pitt is not necessarily a bad actor (see twelve monkeys), but instead decided to take a couple of months on vacation for this film. Be amazed by his three facial expressions in the film and his complete lack of emotion! Gasp as you learn Orlando Bloom's acting peak was Lord of the Rings. Vomit as you notice that they have completely butchered the myth to a point that you can no longer recognize it. The only good action scene in the film (the great balls of fire) doesn't even make sense for the time period! I mean come on! Not to mention the cliché filled script that oozes with mediocrity and should be have the title changed to "A three hour long summer movie that should have gone straight to DVD". Personally, I enjoyed the new TV version of Hercules more than this because I could at least laugh at that! You have most likely already seen this movie if you are reading this and I feel sorry for you, but if you haven't stay far far far away!
