This month's 300: Rise of an Empire is not without its faults, but at least that swords and sandals flick draws from its comic book roots to create a stylishly romanticized vision of history - not really something you expect, from the director of the Rush Hour trilogy and X-Men: The Last Stand. Ulysses: 1962: Mike Lane: Also known as Ulysses Against the Son of Hercules: Hercules, Samson, Maciste, and Ursus: the Invincibles: 1964: Alan Steel: Also known as Samson and His Mighty Challenge: The Loves of Hercules: 1960: Mickey Hargitay: Also known as Hercules vs. Less encouraging, however, is the name Brett Ratner, who directed the second Hercules film of 2014. made with stock footage from earlier Hercules films: Hercules vs. Johnson's Hercules movie is already an improvement in terms of casting in addition to its charismatic leading man, the actor roster includes Ian McShane ( Jack the Giant Slayer), John Hurt ( Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special), and Joseph Fiennes ( American Horror Story: Asylum), among other revered character actors. Legend of Hercules was, in my opinion, a rather clunky misfire, which fell fare short of being an entertaining pop action movie treatment of the swords and sandals genre (using modern 3D technology) - or even a delightfully cheesy rendition of the story, a la the 1983 film starring Lou Ferrigno.
