Highly Overrated But Still Good
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
I'm not interested in Disney anymore, but this film – Hercules – is one of my favourite Disney films. Hercules is one of my favourite Disney heroes around. The great thing about the character – Hercules – is that not only he's good, but also one of the strongest heroes there is. I also like the villain Hades. A villain like him might not seem to be the evilest, but he's certainly one of the coolest ones out there. I really like his design: love those blue flames coming out of his head. What I enjoyed the most about this film are its battles, and all these dark characters. Some of them look really great such as Hydra – the dragon. The story was great from start to finish. The film even had plenty of humour and romance. It's a wonderful Disney film, and most certainly underrated compared to the other Disney films that were released throughout the 90s.
Oh were do i start this movie is pure excellence it is on my list of Walt Disney's most greatest achievements nr.7.There's just something about Greek mythology that's just intriguing and Disney did a great job in telling the story.The music is phenomenal and another Disney animated musical that works.This movie is flawless nothing bad i can say about it.My favorite songs in the movie is *zero to hero *go the distance *say your in loveThis is a movie of Disney that you have to see no excusesSo if you haven't seen it yet do it NOW.
Hercules is just another Disney movie where generally the positives edge out the negatives. While plenty of moments seemed dull to me, the music was killer (as is expected from almost anything composed by the formidable team of Disney and Alan Menken), plenty of the characters are likable or sufferable, the humor is good, the action is present and stimulating, and it offers new insight to little children about Heracles himself. It is one that I re-watched before considering the challenge of watching all animated Disney movies (which got into theaters), and both times, I enjoyed the concept and execution of the story. I would most definitely say that this film is around 7.2, because there are a few dull moments and strange references that would more fit 1997 Greece than Ancient Greece (including a Scar pelt and two men who resemble John Musker and Ron Clements, who directed this film). See it if you covet the trio of Musker, Clements and Menken, because they can make some excellent stuff (including The Little Mermaid, from what I've heard, and Aladdin).
Lackluster Disney movie that tells the story of Hercules. The whole thing lacks creativity, calculatedly following the Disney formula to the letter. We have stupid comic relief sidekicks, cheesy songs, a clichéd story, and lots of dumb in-jokes and references. It's moderately well-made for what it is but 'what it is' is the problem. I thought the voice work was fine and the animation not bad (but nothing terribly impressive). The songs are really lame, including the insufferably corny "Go the Distance." Of the films that came out during Disney's Renaissance period, this is one of the worst. Not a terrible watch when viewed in a bubble but, if you've seen even a few Disney animated films before, this will seem very tired and unoriginal. The worst part of it all is that, despite all the action and comedy, it's incredibly dull.
