Hold onto the ball, Murray!
Now THIS looks bad ass! I avoided the other Hercules movie like the plague (never knew Hercules was a prince of Crete sold into slavery who became a gladiator 
), but this one looks cool. Following him through the twelve labors will be fun.

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
The Rock put in a solid performance, as usual, but this fell pretty flat to me. Terrible script, just terrible. And the whole bikini-clad warrior woman thing is really old, stupid, and sexist. Ungh.
I was thinking the same thing. Time to retire the bikini fighting outfit.
I'm not a fan of greek mythology, but I'm a huge fan of the rock, so it was a wash.
The rock takes his craft seriously:
During shooting of the scene where Hercules breaks free of his chains, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson stated that he "blacked out" after every take, "I asked the Prop Department to lock me in with real steel chains that I couldn't break, so the performance would be real. When Hercules finally accepts his fate of being the son of Zeus, it's the epic moment of the mythology, and our movie. We shot this scene eight times. I blacked out every time. Down to my knees. Well worth the pain. This moment is iconic. I'm excited for you to see it."
