this be easily the bad adaptation of greek mythology i have ever see . it utterly fail a an adaptation of the original myth and invent silly plot twist and reduce the 12 labour to . 3 or 4 and i think . it make up utterly needless thing to try to integrate other myth in clumsy way which bring into question the writer have ever read the myth and like change bird to harpy and lion to sphinx and the oracle of delphi to tiresias and and bull to a pedantic version of proteus and even integrate aspect and never see outside of sam raimi entertain series and concern his first marriage and to a woman with the co opt name of one of the fury so it sound appropriate to the period . i could accept much of that and but it also fail completely in pure film standard while most painful be the dialogue and leaden and portentous pseudo shakespearean tripe . it be a poor re interpretation of the myth and make a sad attempt at the kind of post modern revisionism that crichton the 13th warrior attempt in regard to the beowulf legend and while still include the strictly mythological element such a clear interference from the god and magical super strength . a sad and sad failure of an entertainment experience and who i be sure many of the quality actor involve regret deeply .
