Hercules (2014)

"Brett Ratner, director of all three Rush Hour movies, buckles up for a sword and sandals beat-'em-up that starts off trying to put a real face on the Greek myth, only to surrender to the Hollywood gods and have a ball, with Hercules bashing everything from heads to horses. The ace up Ratner’s CGI toga is Dwayne Johnson, who, aided with little more than facial hair, a large spiky club, and muscles the size of Mount Olympus, lends this Hercules a likable persona, trapped inside a ludicrous physique."

"A refreshingly human spin... grandly scaled, solidly entertaining popcorn pic."

"Delivers fast, fun thrills to score a sound victory over Renny Harlin’s laborious The Legend Of Hercules."

"Yet another interminable, CGI-drenched mythic mish-mash with far more money than brain cells."

"A cheerfully ridiculous and entertaining film."

"There's just enough plot to keep the movie lurching forward, and there are plenty of battle scenes to delight connoisseurs of carnage."

"As a humorous blockbuster action Hercules is worth its weight in gold."

"Ratner and Johnson are out to entertain you - no more, no less. And that is just what they do."
