Little Hercules

A nerve wrecking battle between Zeus, the highest god of the Greek gods, and Marduk, the highest god of the Akkadians, takes place in the background of a intimate drama about a young boy who finds himself in an unknown place and is forced to mature. This original take on Greek mythology, combined with the daily lives of ordinary American high school pupils offers a unique and unforgettable experience. Unfortunately, I was so excited that I couldn’t wait until the cinema release and I watched (the whole!!!) film in an available DVDRip. The thematically similar Clash of the Titans will have it very difficult in April. Now seriously, Little Hercules is very likely the worst film that has ever made it to Czech cinemas, and probably also the worst film that I’ve come across in any other type of distribution, and that’s why I had to get it. The guilty pleasure potential is so massive that I seriously considered one star, but it would have been a shame to disrupt that fully black column. Given that I often come across zero-budget, amateur horror films, Little Hercules was not the shock it must be for most other people, but I would still recommend them to go to the cinema, I don’t think they will have another opportunity to see something unknown on the big screen any time soon. Czech film websites will have funny reviews again, I’m looking forward to them… :-D (06.01.2010)
