mythology, half man and half god Hercules Hercules the Greek, his legendary adaptation of literary and art circles in Europe and America is undoubtedly the most active of a mythological figure, and for film roles complicated Greek mythology apparently difficult to reach The story of Hercules’ most popular "Twelve Labors" is also long and has a cumbersome background. It is obvious that a movie cannot be presented for the length of time, so it is pulled off the altar and accompanied by an overwhelming muscular man and a slim girl. , The non-god Hercules is undoubtedly a different way.


The translation of the Chinese version of "Son of Zeus: Hercules" is obviously biased towards the film language. If you just look at the movie name or the trailer, it is easy to misjudge it as a story about Hercules' "Twelve Misery." But in fact, the fierce lion, the hydra, and the wild boar are only the lead of the beginning of the story. The literal translation of the film "Hercules: Battle of Thrace" is the real story to be told in this work. The first chapter of Lux and his companions in the movie is a group of mercenaries driven by money and money. A thracian palace seizure is the main line of the story, interspersed with the sidelines of Hercules’s tragic past. The cold weapon in the film The use of tactics and hand-to-hand combat are its real selling points, not the fantasy battle like in "War of the Gods", so if you look forward to the battle between humans and beasts in Hercules' "Twelve Troubles", watch this movie. Movies, disappointment is inevitable.


As a deified action movie, it has the same effect as the recent "Hercules". Not only the characters are the same, but they are all based on the ancient Greek background of deification, but this "Son of Zeus" has more characters. Hercules also has his own mercenary partners. The plot is more plump than "Hercules". Analyzing the myth of Hercules and reducing it to a pseudo-real and flesh-and-blood story is also the novelty of the film, but from As for the film as a whole, it started with the core of the proposition of "Going Shenhua" at the beginning, but at the end it is still a mythical Hercules. This makes the film contradictory in the theme, Hercules. A group of companions are only green leaves, the deified Hercules still interprets the old stalk of personal heroism, and the adapted myths have not brought even a trace of ancient Greek aesthetics to the movie. Some are just action movies. Unchanging blood and violence.


Hercules is not a god. Although the plot structure is novel and unique, the positioning of the movie is awkward. This is neither a true epic of war nor a grand mythical legend, popcorn of American heroism. The film is enough to define the whole movie.
