There’s a saying that if you “don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all” but what am I supposed to do with this trailer for THE LEGEND OF HERCULES?
The second trailer displays a 300 type style sandals epic except the CGI is terribly noticeable and not stylized. My other issue is that every opportunity that Hercules (Kellan Lutz) has to speak he doesn’t. This movie is about HERCULES, right? I mean, I’m fairly certain I read that correctly. He gets two lines and a scream. I know Hercules is well known for his strength which is displayed through the trailer but the rest of the cast gets more talk time than Lutz does. He’s not a supporting character– he’s the lead! Perhaps I’m nitpicking. I’ll just see the damn thing first then rant later if applicable.
“Tonight we fight for our lives!”
