The Legend Of Hercules Review
By: April Faith Spice
Here you go... While I did throw the ladies a bone... And I quite enjoyed looking up pictures of Kellan. I cannot in good faith for my fellow movie goers give this film a shining review. And that makes me sad! lol
"The Legend of Hercules 3D" can't be saved by Washboard Ab's.
The Legend of Hercules stars Kellan Lutz, pretty much only known for his role of Emmet Cullen in the Twlight Franchise. I was an admitted "Twi-Hard" and Emmet was my favorite character in the book so when Kellan was cast as him. I was pretty excited because... well look at him. I mean have you seen him?
Through the years I have had several opportunities to meet Kellan and he really is just a fantastic guy. So amazing to his fan's and contrary to popular belief and what has been said about the guy... he is very very smart! He went to College to major in Chemical Engineering. The thing that just makes me so sad is that I want SO much for his acting to be good because he IS such a nice guy... but I have seen pretty much every movie he has made and well... He really should just stick to being a Calvin Klein Underwear model because he needs to just look pretty and not talk. (Do not under any circumstances watch his movie 'A Warriors Heart' co starring Ashley Greene. Possibly the worst movie I've ever seen.) Also if you google "Kellan Lutz" the section below pop's up... That doesn't tell you that an actor is known for his actual acting Abilities...
I went into "Hercules" with low expectations and because of that... I was a bit surprised. It wasn't terrible, and it did keep me entertained somewhat for the 90 minutes that I sat there. Sadly though, the actors that really shone in this movie were not Hercules himself. Scott Adkins (Bourne Ultimatum, Expendables 2) who plays Hercules Step Father was decent, but my favorite character was probably Sotiris played by Liam McIntyre (Spartacus). His deliverance of lines but much more heartfelt than any of the other characters.
I wasn't very impressed with the 3D, or the Graphics. They seemed to love shooting arrows directly at you and had some sort of fetish with petals floating around... alot. There were numerous contradictions in the plot. Quite a few awkard scene's including when the Queen, Hercules mother concieves Hercules. There is no other way to put it than awkward. Way too much stop action in the fight scene's. At first it was cool.. but by the end it just seemed repetitive. My biggst issue is the ending. You are left literally saying out loud, "Wait, What?" and feeling very confused.
However on the plus side of the movie... The cast really is fantastic to look at. Kellan has an exceptional body along with most of the other men. This wouldn't be a review from me unless I let the ladies know what the situation was. I read a different review (by a man) say that the love scene's were awful and Kellan came off more like a sibling. I would definetly have to disagree there. Kellan was charming with his love interest, and was the type of man every girl wants to have. Sensitive, But manly all rolled into one package. Kellan has that covered.
And make no mistake about whether those ab's of his are airbrushed, I can assure you they are very real as you can see from this lovely picture on set. Hercules totally had an iPhone right? Inline image 5
So what is my final say about The Legend of Hercules? It is probably a good date movie.... for a matinee if you want something that you both can reasonably enjoy and can overlook the flaws for the sake of some eye candy! I still love you Kellan but I'm giving you a C+ on this one!
