Critic Reviews:

• " The Legend of Hercules – a Herculean effort and experience. " – Debbie Lynn Elias

• " It delivers what it promises, which is muscular guys in skimpy clothes fighting and howling, as well as some large-scale digitally enhanced battle sequences. " – A.O. Scott

• " You could ask for more – an actual script, maybe? – but Harlin covers most of the basics. Or, perhaps more accurately, he leaves them uncovered. " – Stephanie Zacharek
