| User ReviewNick WOne of the greatest of all peplums, Reg Park on top form! |
| User ReviewJeff BI'm just not buying what this film is trying to sell. |
| User ReviewSteve E3 stars may seem like a lot for this film, but I really enjoyed it, and it has some good special FX, apart from the Lizard creature that is obviously a man in a suit. The Storm at sea capsizing the boat is one of the best and most realistic storm I've ever seen, made me wonder whether it was an actual storm, maybe it was, or maybe I missed a detail that would have revealed the fake set, they sure fooled me there if it was fake. The direction is quite sharp, it isn't stiff nor amateur, with some fine acting for this genre, and the characters are interesting. The sets of Atlantis are great. The music score is classic, and the location of Atlantis is on a Rocky Island with tall steep rock walls separated by a sandy beach that is very enchanting. And the scenes at sea are real and well photographed. And the story is simple but effective and well directed, a good vs evil classic story. It is a bit slow at times, but otherwise a fun Sword and Sandals movie. |
| User ReviewWilliam W68% "In ages passed, before Zeus, your father, reigned over the earth and mankind. Another God, emenece and powerful, dominated Olympus, URANUS!"-High Priest of Uranus Depending on your maturity level, the Uranus diolog can be quite comical. Do not be fooled by the title. it's actually about men who have been captured by Uranus loving nazis from Alantis. "The blood of Uranus can never be destroyed."-High Priest |
| User ReviewJessica HI'm just not buying what this film is trying to sell. |
| User ReviewJared GNot a terrible movie, it is pretty slow but its watchable. Reg park ( the main reason i watched it in the first place) plays hercules well and definatly looks the part. |
| User ReviewAndrew KConfusing plot and ridiculous effects make this flick a bit hard to sit through yet a fun ride. Most of the story felt like it came out of no where. The dragon looked so bad that you can't take your eyes off of it. |
| User ReviewByron BCampiness aside, The Captive Women was an OK entry in the series, though if they could skip half of the dialogue it might have been a better film. |
| User ReviewChristopher S2.5/10. I wasn't expecting Spartacus and sure didn't get it. Badly dubbed, horrendously acted, a really stupid story, cheaply produced, laughably bad dialogue. the score however is occasionally good. |
| User ReviewTim SHercules and the Captive Women isn't one of the top tier Hercules movies and/or media out there, I'm sure (I haven't seen a whole lot of it, so I'm going on instinct alone). The one is pretty awful. I'm sure at one time the movie was great for little kids when it was released, especially on TV, but it doesn't hold up at all and there are lots of elements that make it bad. It's also unintentionally funny at times, which made it a prime candidate for Mystery Science Theater 3000. The story itself is pretty boring for the most part. So boring that I can barely remember it, which is a way that I gauge how good or bad something is. The MST3K version is really the only version of this movie worth watching if you just have to watch it. At least you'll get some laughs out of it. |
