"The Battle of Hercules Thracian Kingdom": Ancient Greek action film that goes to mythology

Unlike the "Hercules" in the first half of the year, the film "Hercules" tells not a mythology, but a national war story from the ancient Greek period. The total score is around 74 points, which can be regarded as a watch. If you want to watch mythical films like "War of the Gods", please take a detour.

Hercules vs. Lions, Hydras, and Boars in the mythology are just the lead of the beginning of the story. The literal translation of the film "Hercules: The Battle of Thracian" is the real story of this work: Deification The Hercules and his companions in the movie start with a group of mercenaries driven by money, a standard RPG team. Their involvement in the Thracian Kingdom’s seizure of the palace is the main line of the story, interspersed with the side lines of Hercules’ tragic past, and finally the two lines meet. The use of cold weapon tactics and hand-to-hand combat in the movie is its real selling point, not the fantasy battle like in "War of the Gods".

From the perspective of spiritual connotation, the setting of the film demythology is slightly new, and it is grounded and flesh-and-blood. It's a pity that the ending is still a mythical exaggerated ending, which makes the film contradictory in the theme, with 10 points deducted and return to the popcorn film ranks.

In terms of character modeling, this time through the leather armor with a sense of line design, the lines of everyone are very beautiful and look very seductive. Dashi Johnson has become the core of the movie by taking the lead alone this time. Compared with other people's Hercules, we can accept it more easily. Of course, we still pay more attention to his tendons. His performance has improved, but he still shows a little facial makeup. The same as Jack Gyllenhaal. Atalanta, the beautiful archer and arrow, impressed me very much, like Nicole Kidman.

Summary: This film is a gospel for fans of old-fashioned action movies and costume fighting movies, don't miss it. For viewers who like to watch special effects blockbusters and connotative films, different people have different opinions.

    As expected of Hercules, even the ending of the BOSS is reflected through "vigor", which is an ordinary popcorn action movie that is very pointy. The most interesting thing is that the awesome scene of the trailer has already been exposed at the beginning of the film, and it's so ridiculous. Fortunately, the sea of ​​people is remarkable, and there are sporadic laughter. 2 stars for rock's sincerity.

    I thought it was a grand epic, but it turned out to be a third-rate RPG action film for teenagers. It just gave TheRock an extra star. He was born for such a role. How can there be 6 feet 5!
