Hercules

Actors:  Dwayne Johnson, Ian McShane, Reece Ritchie, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, Joseph Fiennes, John Hurt.

Rating:  7 out of 10, Noted thespian Dwayne “Rock” Johnson holds forth as the legendary muscle man. Since this was a Bret Ratner film you are obligated to donate brain cells before entering but it turned out to be pretty entertaining as they play his god like prowess as an ancient con game. This is the part Johnson was born to play as he has the physique and athleticism to make Hercules come alive. Most guys who’ve attempted the part are so muscle bound they couldn’t turn their head without committing the entire body. Johnson’s also a better actor than most give him credit for and he’s surrounded by a supporting cast of really fine actors. Since it’s ancient times they all speak with British accents though.

MVP:   Johnson in the role he was born to play
