Hercules | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Carol Buckland CNN.com Kids will love Hercules. It's fast-paced, it's funny, and it has a very positive message. Adults will enjoy it as well, thanks to its animated artistry and sly wit. Jan 5, 2018 Full Review Hercules | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Desson Thomson Washington Post [An] insipid, lifeless, animated feature. Nov 16, 2009 Full Review Hercules | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Susan Stark Detroit News Rated: 4/4 Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Hercules | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Carson Timar ButteredPopcorn The film struggles to find a strong voice and identity as it drags itself through a rehashed story with weak characters that lack the iconic performances needed to elevate them.

Audience Member Its criminally underrated . And probably the Best disney movie ever made. Yes better than the Lion King Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/02/24 Full Review Gabriel Emil C A star is born from Disney. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/01/24 Full Review Audience Member One of my all time favorite Disney animated films. A must see. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review Noe G Hercules is one of my favorite Disney films from 1997. I give this a 10/10 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Audience Member As a huge fan of Greek and Roman myths, I was excited to give this classic a watch. Unfortunately, it consistently fumbles with the source material and runs amok with the stories I love. Along with some meaningless dialogue, bland songs, and a rushed narrative, you get a movie that is not at all a good representation of Disney at its finest. It does have one redeeming factor, though: Hades. An amazing performance by James Woods allows this movie to at least be memorable, even if it's not worth a watch. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Kevin K Hercules with Superman's origin starring in a Rocky movie makes this move a fun jumble that is just my taste Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
