Not by much, but the acting and effects make up for the defincies in the story. Probably same. It's a longer film, so there's more stuff in its runtime that I enjoy than Hunchback.

S-T Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 The communicators in Star Trek 2009 drove me nuts. My flip phone did more than they did, and smartphones had just started then. So Hercules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeus raping everything in sight just wasn't going to fly.... Certain stories can have their rougher edges hewn off, have their endings changed, or even be completely rewritten and actually be better for it (see Pinocchio, The Little Mermaid, and pretty much every Bond film based on one of Ian Fleming’s novels). HOWEVER Spoiler Zeus’ infidelities — whether they’re presented as consensual affairs, seductions, assaults, or some combination of the three — are so much a part of Greek mythology that when you adapt Greek mythology without them, you’re not getting it right and it makes you question whether it’s a good idea to adapt the lore to begin with, let alone as a light-hearted Disney’s film. It’d be like making a Robin Hood film without him stealing from the rich to feed the poor, a Sherlock Holmes one without the detailed deductions, or a Snow White one where she’s too cautious to bite into the apple. Donovan and I address this issue towards the very end of the review and he mentions his own example of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
