VHS Movie Reviews of Hercules & Xena - The Animated Movie: The Battle for Mount Olympus (Rated PG) [VHS]
Movie Review: Forgettable
Summary: 1 Stars
"Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" was a fun show with a good cast and great locations. "Xena" was a slightly darker spin-off of the show. I enjoyed both of them. I've been trying to get my hands on the season sets of these shows, but they are out of print. I vaguely remember advertisements for this animated film when it was released, but remember not being too interested at the time because the animation looked bad.
A few weeks ago, I finally bought this film. Sad to say, it was worse than I thought it would be. The animation reminds me of 60s Hanna-Barberra cartoons, but without the cool designs of Alex Toth. The whole affair is flat and lifeless. Clunky animation, uninteresting backgrounds and a poor story add up to a forgettable experience.
There really were great possibilities here. For one thing, the characters lend themselves to animation. The opportunity existed to create a story that was more ambitious than the live-action television budget would allow. With the Titans, they try. But they fail.
Movie Review: Good Movie Ridiculous price
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie i thought was pretty good than the crap we have on Cartoon Network. I know this movie is rare now [...]Movie Review: Excellent Movie of the MiddleAges
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really cool video! It's great to see Hercules & Xena work together to fight the titans on Mount Olympus. I gave it all five ratings.Movie Review: Come on you hipocrits.
Summary: 4 Stars
Ok, so all of adults out there that have seen this think it was awaful. Yet you continue to all give raving revues and express your need to see the latest "let me shot some guy until he's dead" or some retarded foreign film that no one can understand and you PROTECT those films because they HAVE to be good because they're meant for adults.
we'll you all are idiots.
Just because it wasn't what you were used to doesn't make it bad.
So the animation may have sucked? It was 1998. what do you want?
the original star wars effects sucked but everyone LOVED that regardless.
Anyway, this movie provides and interesting spin on the typical hercules movie, which disney completely disneyfied, btw.
It's plot may be predictable but so what, almost all movies today are.
They stuck to the actuall mythological side of the tale better than anyone else:
~Hera hated hercules, and tried to kill him.
~Zeus was a pig, and "played with mortal" women
~they actually used the Titans as charaters
So this may not meet your standards of a good movie, but what does anyone know about movies anyway?
If it makes you laugh and you don't feel the intense urge to flee the room, then it's a good movie, regardless of what the "standards" are.
So you all need to just wake up and decide for yourself. If you like the movie, then it's because YOU actually had an opinion for once(shocker)and it shouldn't matter what THEY think about it.
Movie Review: Ok,but not great!
Summary: 3 Stars
I was really looking forward to this movie a lot,but when I saw it,all I could think of was,"What a disappointment"! The storyline and voice work were excellent-I had no problem with that. My problem was with the animation. If anyone has read the Xena/Hercules comics,then I think you would agree that if the artistry of those comics had been used in this movie,the results would have been far better than what we got! I would not recommend this unless you are a die hard HTLJ or XWP fan.
