HERCULES

I watched "Hercules" yesterday and I was plain bored throughout the movie. Starring Dwayne Johnson, Ian McShane, Joseph Fiennes, Reece Ritchie, John Hurt, it wasn't a story about a legendary half man half god character. 

It went against the tales we knew of and tried to dispel the myth that Hercules was the son of Zeus and instead portrayed him as just a man with great strength, courage and wits. Whatever we heard of his prowess and abilities were the result of him and his team of 4 behind him.

I personally preferred the Kellan Lutz version because it stayed more true to the original. This one was just plain dull, even the battle scenes could not jolt me up from my stupor.
