Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I know it isn't long that I watched it for, but it already annoyed me. If you want to watch this to increase your Greek mythology knowledge, please... Don't. There are actually 9 muses, not 5. They think that Hades is a "villian" when in Greek mythology, he is just... the god of the Underworld. He is a nice guy from what I have read. The muses say that Hades is someone you don't want to get angry. Of course, for the story, no you might not want to. I say that you don't want to get onto Zeus' or Ares' bad side.The Underworld has souls in the "ocean" in the Underworld. They actually roam around on the lands. -While on the topic of the Underworld, they think of it as an evil place which is completely wrong. It's a place for the dead to go, and for sadness. Cerebrus is not an evil dog, he jsut guards the Underworld. -The 3 fates aren't evil either. They just decided on how long your life is going to be. -They sum up everything that is associated with death is evil. From what I have seen from other reviews, I can see it being a good, funny movie. But the Greek infomation isn't true (or some of it). I would love to have been true, because I was really looking forward to it.

We watched this movie in school when we were studying Ancient Greece. I guess its pretty good. Not a great movie, but I guess you could watch it.

I'm not interested in Disney anymore, but this film – Hercules – is one of my favourite Disney films. Hercules is one of my favourite Disney heroes around. The great thing about the character – Hercules – is that not only he's good, but also one of the strongest heroes there is. I also like the villain Hades. A villain like him might not seem to be the evilest, but he's certainly one of the coolest ones out there. I really like his design: love those blue flames coming out of his head. What I enjoyed the most about this film are its battles, and all these dark characters. Some of them look really great such as Hydra – the dragon. The story was great from start to finish. The film even had plenty of humour and romance. It's a wonderful Disney film, and most certainly underrated compared to the other Disney films that were released throughout the 90s.

I should admit that I've never read the original Greek myth. It was obvious that Disney was going to take more than a few liberties with their adaptation. What I liked more than anything were the pop culture references (i.e., Midnight Cowboy). I guess that like a lot of Disney's movies from the past 20 to 25 years, "Hercules" is all about giving the tykes something to find cool while the adults can laugh at the pop culture references. Having the muses narrate the story like a gospel song gave it an interesting dimension, as did the depiction of Megara as a femme fatale. And you gotta love Danny DeVito's over-the-top performance as a manic Philoctetes.Anyway, it's not any sort of masterpiece, but enjoyable enough for its length. Among the other cast members are Paul Shaffer (David Letterman's bandleader), Frank Welker (Fred on "Scooby Doo" and Ray on "The Real Ghostbusters"), Amanda Plummer (Honeybunch in "Pulp Fiction") and Charlton Heston (who else but the king of sword-and-sandal epics could give the opening narration?).
