The 12 labors of Hercules were not the objective of this film starring Lou Ferrigno as the semi-divine son of Zeus and the mortal Alcmene. Hercules must rescue Princess Cassiopea from her kidnappers, ... read more read more...fight off grotesque laser-breathing monsters and in one case, jettison a giant bear up into space where it becomes Ursa Major, the Big Dipper or "Great Bear" constellation. Off-color (many scenes are in dim, bluish stage sets) and low-budget, this incarnation of Hercules may find unconverted viewers a difficult, 13th challenge to conquer. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

    A 1980s gay little boy's pseudo-He-Man/Clash Of The Titans knockoff wet dream, Ferrigno titillates with his over-blown, steroid-perfected body. (Shockingly, with steroid use so prevalent today, had Ferrigno been cast in "300," he would blend in so well that his size would no lon... read moreger work as an indicator that he is the one and only Hercules.) Too poorly written/acted/directed to get immersed, too slowly paced to stay tuned in, too boring to be entertaining even as camp. But lots of skin.

    It was...um....ok.....I guess. I felt that a LOT was missing! The creatures were ok but for a movie made in the 80s, the effects could have been at least a little better than that. At least they had few sexy cast members in it but the story I did not like at all. I mean really, I... read more honestly only watched it because there was nothing else on tv at the time I saw it. Disney's animated tale of Hercules blows this out of the water!

    Don't know what's more annoying listening to Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice over or Lou Ferrigno's bad English.

one of the few male 'jiggle' movies in recent memory, it's all silly to the nth degree and dares to utilize special effects tricks that redefine the word 'tacky.' Full Review
