	Movie Review - Hercules - www.ericdsnider.com - The Official Website of Eric D. Snider
		Unfortunately Hercules has as much soul as Michael Bolton, who sings the radio version of the show's theme, "Go the Distance." Meg, the heroine, tries her best to give a top 40 rendition of her solo song, but it gets stolen by the magnificent Muses.
		Part of the charm of this movie is that Hercules is such a rare item: A three-dimensional, sympathetic MALE character in a Disney cartoon.
		Furthermore, the theme, as stated by Zeus in the movie, is the best yet: "Being famous is not the same as being a true hero." In this day of over-blown basketball stars and false celebrity gods, it is important that we learn what a real hero is all about.

		In "Hercules" when Herc and Pegasus are putting their hand (and hoof) prints into the cement, the slab that Herc is kneeling on says "To Doug." I'm not sure of the symbolism, but I know the name Doug also appears several times in the "Rhapsody in Blue" segment of Fantasia 2000.

		It is the type of movie that even someone with a career as chequered as Arnie’s (Conan the Destroyer, Batman and Robin, anyone?) would prefer scratched from his CV.

	Hercules - Movie Rental Review
		Parents need to know that while the tone of the movie is light-hearted, parts of it may be too scary and intense for smaller children.
		According to Disney, Hercules was the adored son of gods Zeus and Hera, stolen by Hades, ruler of the underworld, and made mortal.
		She is tougher and braver than the traditional D.I.D. (as damsels in distress are referred to in the movie), but still very much on the sidelines in the big moments.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Hercules \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		"Hercules," which mixes up its Greek mythology and tosses in plenty of anarchic, modern-day references, is a hysterical take on the half-human/half-god son of Zeus, who eventually must go up against evil Hades to decide the fate of the universe.
		In the midst of all this are a number of wild-eyed battles, the most flamboyant involving a computer-generated Hydra, which sprouts new heads each time Hercules chops one off — eventually becoming a beast with 30 heads.
		In addition to the obvious Greek legends that are mixed up here, Disney's "Hercules" throws in nods to everything from "Superman" to "Rocky" (and Meg owes something to Lola in "Damn Yankees"), with special emphasis on such modern star trappings as endorsements and merchandising.

		Along the way, he falls in love with Meg (Susan Egan), a pawn of Hades, who plans to use Hercules' feeling for her as part of a scheme to overthrow Zeus.
		There are plenty of inside jokes aimed at adults, such as the commercialization of Hercules with his own brand of sports drink, shoes, dolls and body building equipment.
		If they do go to the movies, they will end up seeing something a whole lot worse than "Hercules." There is a sort of gay character in the film, Hermes (voice by Paul Shaffer), but even if Disney isn't anti-gay, the company still makes a great movie.
