More entertaining than I expected, not because there’s a strong story, but because it has the same humor and attitude I liked about The Emperor’s New Groove. As can be expected from the title, this is about Hercules. Born as a god, turned human by Hades henchmen, he grows up as a human, but since he retains his godlike strength he never really fits in. Later he learns about his father Zeus and tries to become a god again by doing heroic acts. There’s also a love interest and Hades as the main antagonist trying to kick Zeus out of Olympus.
The movie tries to cover too much time, baby Hercules, young Hercules, grown-up Hercules, which makes it hard to really care for him, since he feels a bit different each time and the episodic nature of the movie makes it feel less than coherent. But the movie has a fast pace and makes up for its weaknesses with fun and action. Speaking about fun, it was just delightful to watch Hades and his comments and reactions on everything. If you don’t expect too much depth, but something easygoing, you might like this one.
