Not even bad in a good way

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

It obvious that anyone over the age of twelve who posts a bad review about a fairy-tale story made for children is probably a failed critic with an ax to grind who struggling with a poor adult self image. Hercules Saves Christmas is a movie about A TALKING DOG FOR Christ SAKE!! Did any one of these sourpuss reviewers actually read the synopsis? Did you really think this movie was going to be an Oscar level art piece targeted to an adult audience? One reviewer actually writes about the technical flaws in the movie. This is clearly an act of self-gratification on the part of a frustrated wannabe movie critic. Message to Take60: get over yourself. Your extensive knowledge of green screen effects and audio levels is not important to us. You are not qualified to make this judgment in my opinion. Qualified reviewers of the appropriate age (3 -7) watched this movie in my household and they loved it. In a world of rational-thinking adults - a child's opinion about movies made for children is the only thing that matters.

I think this movie went straight for the "Christmas Story" appeal. The story line was a little cheesy and the direction was clearly not very good.Most of the acting seemed boxed and over directed (ad lib is an amazing tool). In the scenes where the actors had some freedom, you could see real potential for some great acting, between Rick Wilder (Danny Arroyo) and Max Moogle (Anthony Robinson), and between Rick Wilder and Sally (Maggie VandenBerghe), but it seems that in most scenes, they were over directed, and not given license to let themselves act.This was not the worst Christmas movie I have ever seen, but the director should definitely go back to film school. Give Danny Arroyo, Anthony Robinson, and Maggie VandenBerghe a chance to show their talent. They should be stars....Finally, please stop casting Mackenzie Phillips in anything. She does not have star power.

Hercules Saves Christmas is a great family movie. It's a modern day version of Scrooge. All the characters were great. The actor who portrayed Rick Wilder was outstanding. Handsome as well I might add. Was nice to see a young man play the role of Scrooge as opposed to an older man. Hope to see him in more movies in the near future. Hercules also did an outstanding role as well as the rest of the characters. Good Family and Christmas Movie!! Highly Recommended. All the characters performed well. Great movie for the young kids to watch. Teaches a lesson of love, giving and sharing. Would watch it again if it's repeated.

Great family holiday film! Kids will love it. Unfortunately there are always a few deadbeats who love to trash films and everyone associated with them but pay them no mind. They obviously have to much time on their sad hands. Trashing children's films? Ba- Humbug! The actors all did a great job and Mackenzie Phillips, Marc McClure and Richard VanVleet are really funny. George McGuire plays a fantastic and warm hearted Santa. Anthony Robinson as the orphan Max Moogle was terrific and Danny Arroyo gives a great performance. Delivers a nice positive message for the kids and Hercules is a very lovable dog. But perhaps not for those nasty few who root for Scrooge in the movies! Give it a try for more then ten minutes - you won't be disappointed.
