Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Hercules Against The Moon Men doesn't deserve a 2 out of 10. It doesn't deserve an Oscar either but it isn't THAT bad. It's not good but it is at least entertaining. I have seen plenty of bad films that often insult your intelligence and make no sense but this film- though incompetent in most areas-in no way feels like a slap in the face like say Troll 2 or Howard the Duck. This movie tries to be a mixture of a Mythical Epic like Clash of the Titans and 50's Sci-fi like The Day the Earth Stood Still. And we get the best(or best worst) of both worlds. The development of the characters and their relationships are almost non-existent yet they still try to pass it off like they are growing i.e. a girl falls in love with Hercules even though they have known each other for a total of 12 minutes. The aliens are absolutely ridiculous but they look as if effort were put into them unlike other movie monsters like the goblins from Troll 2. The acting and dialogue are very wooden but you can at least say some work was put into it unlike say the actors from Troll 2(have I mentioned how much I hate Troll 2?). It doesn't try to be historically accurate or anything, it just tries to be exactly what it promises: Hercules fighting a bunch of aliens and that's exactly what it is and nothing more. I would say check this movie out if you wanna see a poorly done B-movie that you and your friends can laugh at.

Well, to be honest the movie was not as bad as I had feared, mainly because of the reason that it had some entertainment value in it.It's obvious that this movie got made purely for entertainment and without much else intentions. The story is simple but sort of fun and adventurous. This doesn't take away anything of the fact that it's still a pretty poorly made movie.It's a bit clumsy looking, as you can often expect from an Italian genre movie like this one. In it's era many movies like this got made and you can say that the Italians sort of founded the genre in the '50's. It's all muscles and costumes, without ever giving the movie much flair but still special typical genre feeling and atmosphere.Of course it's all rather cheap looking, with lame effects and cardboard looking sets and props. It makes the movie itself also quite lame to watch at times but again, I feel that this also adds to the movie its entertainment value.I just wished they would had spend some more time on the movie its script. The movie now feels as if the movie got shot with only a halve completed script. Lots of things often don't make sense and some things feel incomplete and unfinished. It's not a very satisfying movie to watch. Especially toward the end the movie turns awkward. It starts to become more and more messy and things start to make less and less sense. You'll loose interest about halve way through the movie, which just doesn't make this a very comfortable movie to watch.It isn't completely horrible but still pretty bad nevertheless.3/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Alan Steele makes a nice Hercules. Jany Clair makes a very beautiful evil queen. The fanged monkey-monster is hilarious and kind of cool. The head moon man is weird enough. The rock moon men are OK. The fight scenes are passable. The continuity is fair to better than most movies of this genre. The plot is average. The acting is what you'd expect in a B movie and nothing more. The sets are OK. The photography is not the greatest, especially the out door scenes, but it works well enough. If, when you think Hercules, Kevin Sorbo is the first name that pops into your head you probably won't like this flick and don't need to waste time watching it. But if, when someone says Superman, the first name that comes to mind is George Reeves and not Christopher Reeve, well you'll probably enjoy this movie. Its a good movie to kick back and have fun with so long as you're not setting your sights to high.
