Synopsis :The movie has a gift in Johnson, a dependable charmer, plus a fine supporting cast in colorful roles. Among Hercules' ragtag crew are the cynical Autolycus (Rufus Sewell), the archeress Atalanta (Ingrid Bolsø Berdal), the slightly louche Amphiaraus (Ian McShane) and a mute ball of rage named Tydeus (Aksel Hennie). As the sneering King Eurystheus, Joseph Fiennes cribs from his brother Ralph's Voldermort in the "Harry Potter" series. Lord Cotys of Thrace, who hires Hercules and his gang, is played by the great John Hurt. Unfortunately, the plot of "Hercules" heaves and grunts along, interrupted by battle scenes that are visually impressive (when's the last time you saw someone pick up a horse and throw it?) but emotionally uninvolving. Rebecca Ferguson plays the distressed damsel Ergenia, but there's no room for romance in all the sword-swinging.
