Hercules : He's no Kevin Sorbo

And that's all I have to say.

And thank God for that. Still can't get over seeing Sorbo as Hercules. Still can't stop laughing.

Sorbo was awesome. He brought a lot of heart and earnestness to the role. There's a reason the show was such a big hit in its heyday.

Agree with Ace Sax and Sorbo was actually charming in tv show Hercules and yes plan on seeing the rock in Hercules

Lara Croft Himiko! The First Sun Queen! This is Yamatai

That, BTW, had nothing to do with the original character and what we know about him

One of the stupidest choices for what supposed to be the greatest hero in mythology.

You mean he can act Unlike *beep* Sorbo LOL!

I am not your friend.

that hercules show starring Kevin Sorbo was a solid show, great times

I'm guessing your an atheist still butt hurt over sorbo movie "Gods not dead".

What's to be butthurt over? That movie was hilarious! It made himself and Christians in general look stupid.

And your point is? Kevin Sorbo ain't the Rock either! Who even cares?

I like the Rock and Sorbo, both, but I would've loved to see Sorbo have a cameo in this. Apparently the Rock wanted it, too. They went to the director, but he didn't want to do it. Bummer

But can he smell what Sorbo's cooking?

Funny enough, Kevin Sorbo starred in the sequel to The Rock's movie, Walking Tall!

I never saw Sorbo throw a horse.

Weird his movie career never took off

Werd 2 ur mudda, bruddafcker

i love you

Sorbo just didn't have any kind of edge to him. Until he made God is not dead.

I like Sorbo also. BUT NOT AS HERCULES!!!!!

Hercules (Heracles)has always been depicted a man in loin cloth (or even naked in Greek depictions) and DEFINITELY with FACIAL hair. His time was 3500 to 4000 years ago when PANTS HAD NOT BEEN INVENTED! He walked the rocky terrain of Greece NOT THE TROPICAL WOODS OF NEW ZEALAND!

A clean shaven man in pants walking in the jungle was totally wrong, wrong, wrong and a good reason why the mythology genre should be handled by people who have reasonable knowledge of mythology.

look, i love mythology as much as the next avid reader of the classics but you need to pick your battles.

It was the 90's - full beards weren't in, and even goatees were a bit rebellious.

Kevin sold out after doing God's not Dead. Don't even mention his name.

Because he did a religious movie, his name should never be mentioned? Never saw God is not Dead, and probably never will, but who cares? He is a religious guy, and made a religious movie.

Thank the Gods for that .

Kevin Sorbo lost his hero privileges after that God is not Dead fiasco painting atheists as morons who deserve to get shot. And basically calling Ferguson protestors out for acting as ''animals'' you know for protesting.

Screw him , he is no hero .

In a fair universe, we would all be better people.

he did not "sold out" he was that kind of person all the time, its just that before that he wasnt famous enough to get his way.


Applied Science? All science is applied. Eventually.

Before he wasn't famous to sell theocratic lies. Now he is.

You're right. This Hercules actually has muscles and a beard!

Kevin Sorbo did an awesome job voicing as Hercules in "God of War 3". It felt satisfying demolishing Hercules in that game and even more satisfying after watching this crappy movie - had to play that one part of the game to kick his ass and make myself feel better.

No *beep*

Arnold Schwarzenegger: Total Recall (1990)

Totes

I came here to say exactly that.

He is not Kevin Sorbo. Period.



What are you hungry for?

Total honesty. That is it.

Yeah, and we're all very happy for that.

I thought he was perfect for the part and played it well. This isn't directed at Kevin but one of the things I appreciated was that the Rock in this looked like a man and not one of the muscly but plastic ken dolls that hollywood normally spits out.

Rock was surprisingly good in his role as Hercules and I enjoyed the movie for what it is. As for Kevin, he's my preferred version of Hercules as I love that TV show very much. Each take is different, therefore you can't criticize Kevin's rather lean look, because he was supposed to look like that as opposed to bulked-up, overly muscular demigod. I really don't get this criticism of Kevin can't act, his emotional scenes within the show were superbly done unlike many actors who can't even cry properly when moment calls for it, Kevin did it so well. I'd have very much appreciated a cameo of his.

I laughed when I read your thread title. I remember thinking, "Where's Kevin?" when this started. Even funnier, I was thinking of that scene in one of the early Andromeda episodes when someone describes Capt Hunt as "a Greek god or something."

I know I was so disappointed

To be fair, I think I kind of liked Kevin Sorbo better. Especially that episode with the chinese(?) alchemists that tossed bombs around, and Antigone, who was a warrior-princess(!) happened to be around. I'll never forget that one. Or the one with Dracula. Oh, dear
Fun times.

Well I enjoyed this movie a lot. Why? because the acting are top notch. The story and plot was solid too because it allowed me to guess who was the traitors etc before they reveal it and by that I mean the scout and Hercules ex-king.


The only thing I unable to guess was who set up the ambush with the large stream of tribesman in green paint? I'm guessing they're the one responsible for villages pillaging? This mean the scout knew about it.

I also want to add something:

The new Hercules (2014) give us a sense of real reality that every son of God was man made. It was all about the story teller brainwashing us again and again and its up to us to accept it or go "hmmmm nope I'm smarter than that"

This movie kinda remind me Jesus. He ended up dying because his own people got jealous and plotted his death. "If it bleed, it can be kill" even if hes the son of God and we all know those that died on the cross has to experienced the most horrific pain imaginable.

I agree. Rock's better.

You're right, he's no Kevin Sorbo, if he was then I'd be really

Damning with faint praise.

Sorbo was awesome as Hercules.

I miss being a kid in the 90s watching that series on Action Pack Saturday on Channel 11.

Yep, he's no Sorbo, and he didn't get 111 episodes and 6 Seasons to prove it.
Yes, Sorbo was good, fun etc but he had a hell of a long time to establish the character. Not forgetting the occasional turning up in Xena. (And years of repeats.)

Johnson got 98 minutesand did a good if somewhat different job.

Same mythical herodifferent interpretations.

Mal,they are starting to damage my calm!
