Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Not the egregious foul it seemed to be in cinemas, Hercules stands up as an entertaining spritzer of an animated feature. The continual peppering of in-jokes and cultural references becomes less irksome on video. That there's no majesty or awe invested in the beloved Greek legends also seems less of an error. Also on the plus side is the bounciest Alan Menken music since Little Shop of Horrors. With Zeus's blood in his veins, young Hercules's amazing strength makes him an outcast (sorry, that still doesn't scan), so he trains with a satyr named Phil to become a hero. Along the way Herc meets Meg, a common mortal who falls hard for him. They're both against the jocular Hades, who has to destroy Hercules to take over Olympus. The hydra is the computer-animated set piece for this little number, a no-chance attempt to beat that wildebeest herd from The Lion King. --Keith Simanton Customer Reviews

 Rating: - Hercules DVDOne of the better Disney movies released at the price which i got it for (£7) it was a MUST BUY i think its a great adaptation of the original story of hercules with great music and hilarious scenes worth considering! Rating: - HilariousI just watched this the other day, for old times sake. It was brilliant - better than I remembered. Whoever said that you can outgrow disney couldn't have been more wrong. I laughed and laughed along with my friend, and even if we were laughing at new found jokes, it didn't matter. It's definately worth buying. But if you're older, watch it with a friend to make it more enjoyable. Rating: - THIS IS A NUMBER ONE DISNEY CLASSIC .THIS MOVIE HAS EVERYTHING HAPPINESS SADDNESS AND GREAT SONGS. MEGARA IS MY FAVOURITE DISNEY CHARACHER. THIS IS BETTER THAN MULAN 2 LITTLE MERMAID 2 AND POCAHONTAS 2 AND MORE. I WOULD NOT RECOMEND THIS FLIM FOR ANYONE UNDER 7 BECAUSE IT IS NOT A PRINCESS MOVIE AND IT IS SET IN THE GREEK TIMES.AND IT MIGHT BORE YOUNGER CHILDREN. THIS MOVIE IS THE BEST DISNEY MOVIE OF THE 90'S. AND IF YOU LIKE DIFFERENT DISNEY MOVIES SUCH AS MULAN TARZAN ATLANTIS ALADDIN AND POCAHONTAS.YOU WILL LIKE THIS MOVIE. Rating:  - Witty and likeableThere's a lot to complain about with "Hercules". It mishandles Greek legends to a scandalous degree. The hero is something of a lug. Even the songs aren't much to write home about, with the exception of "Won't Say I'm In Love". And yet, the film manages to be likeable - good, even. It's very much typical of the "wacky" comedies Disney began making in the '90s and onwards - "Aladdin", "The Emperor's New Groove", and "Lilo and Stitch" are other examples of this - and, like the others, is genuinely funny. The story is interesting, the hero has a goal (and a moral dilemma), and the secondary characters (Phil, Pegadus, Panic, and Pain) are in fact a step up from run-of-the-mill sidekicks. The artwork is very interesting as well - like ...

However, this film has a great deal of charm. It's your basic coming-of-age, finding your place through love sort of story, told with the usual Disney verve and humour. The characters seem to have a definite New York accent and character (forgive me if I'm wrong - I'm British) which gives them a sort of savvy carapace which - inevitably - cracks to show the real emotion underneath, and also makes for some smart dialogue. Character highlights are James Woods' Hades, sinister and sarcastic, and an instantly-recognisable Danny de Vito as Phil ... Read More: |
