So this was good but I have a few comments to make about how it was wrong to the myth. Like a geek I love Greek mythology and I hated to way that they firstly made The 12 Labors of Hercules out to be to prove he was strong and heroic, they weren't they were set out as punishment for him killing his wife and children. He did this because Hera didn't like him and cast a "spell" on him so he would see his wife and children as monsters so he would kill them and ruin his life. Which is another mistake in the movie as they said that he didn't kill his family and that someone else did it and framed him for the murder. It's all lies. And finally another mistake which I will tell you about is that they make the characters in the film and the audience question whether he really is a demi-God and the son of Zeus. That's the whole point of the Hercules tale! He is a demi-God and son of Zeus and therefore able to complete impossible and heroic deeds that humans cannot!
Rant over. I will say that I loved the battle and fight scenes they were very well constructed. As well I loved the costumes and make up, they weren't completely Hollywood that it looked bad, like with other films were the characters are wearing brightly coloured outfits that are dyed bright greens etc. The costumes were all believable to the times.
