Movie Reviews of HerculesMovie Review: Hercules Chained to TV Format. Summary: 3 Stars
This is a review of the DVD by Gemstone Entertainment - ISBN 0-7694-1100-2, UPC 84296-40174. Judging by the price, the one listed here on Amazon.com is likely to be similar.I would rate the movie itself as one of my all time favorite fantasy adventures, although many would view it as "campy" I view Steve Reeves as the best Hercules ever. I was rather disappointed that the DVD was a formatted-for-TV version of the movie, apparently made from a rather faded print of the film. The sound was generally out of sink with the actors lips. (Stopping and restarting my SONY player did not fix the problem.) I'm glad I have some version of this movie in my library. Hopefully a restored, letterboxed version will be done someday.
Movie Review: Great old classic Hercules Summary: 3 Stars
Mind you, the film is still enjoyable along the way but also rather juvenile and uninspired but you have to remember, this is from 1958. When I was a young kid, the classics, mythical period was fascinating. Overall, its still worth watching.
Movie Review: Cloak & Sandal Summary: 3 Stars
Hercules is the original cloak and sandal epic. Steve Reeves is excellent as the musclebound hero who goes through many ordeals for the woman he loves. Great fun.
Movie Review: Hercules Summary: 3 Stars
Steve Reeves is the first and best Herculese. However, this particular copy of the movie has very poor video quality and is not recommended.
Movie Review: Sgt Nick Summary: 2 Stars
These were great movies when I was a kid and I found this one in a store for only $4.99 a few years back. Movie Time tells you right up front that they have done the best that they can with the technology they had at the time. Well, that was several years ago and I just wanted to see if the technology had gotten any better, it hasn't, it still comes in horrible. I guess all those years ago in 1959, they never thought that anyone was going to digitaly reproduce their movies, ha ha. Anyway's it was and still is a great movie for kids and adults alike even if it is a bit rough around the edges. Thank you, Nick Donvito.
