The Legend of Hercules/大力神

This movie is kind of a clumsy version of "Gladiator" about Greek gods. There are handsome boys and pretty girls inside, but the too routinized story and the slow 3D-specialized visual effects undermine the whole movie.

In fact, logically this is an irrational "winner-takes-all" story: the queen cheats on the king (in the name of human peace?), the king still raises the illegitimate child, but this child kills his father and his elder brother, takes his brother's wife and the throne. See? This could be a totally different story from another point of view.

本片就好象是关于希腊诸神的《角斗士》的粗糙仿制版。的确也有帅男和美女,但落入窠臼的故事和为了3D效果而不适当的慢动作弱化了整部片子。

其实,从逻辑上来说,本片是一个“赢家通吃”的强词夺理的故事:王后给国王戴上绿帽(以祈求人类和平的名义?),国王仍然养大了这个私生子,结果这个私生子杀掉了自己的养父和大哥,抢走了大哥的老婆,还继承了王位。——看,换一个角度讲这个故事,就完全不一样了。
