User Review - 10/10 by Jonas ÅThis is a great movie.The acting is ok.What stands out is the good action scenes.
User Review - 8/10 by Cat CNot as good as Hercules, but so worth a watch.
User Review - 6/10 by Justin EI hate saying this, but, one of the better Hercules movies.
User Review - 6/10 by Rob RThe follow up to the massive success of *Hercules* the year before, this is a lesser film, although it has its moments. There are many peplums that are, uh, much much worse.
User Review - 6/10 by Brian BHa, Steve Reeves. but seriously. Hercules has amnesia, but then, un-has-amnesia to save the day from some bitchy queen.
User Review - 6/10 by Robbie RHercules Unchained (Ercole e la regina di Lidia) is a superb offering from Pietro Francisci and his Italian filmed myths. What stands out immediately are the colors and art direction by Mario Bava. His rich, distinctive style is a sight to behold. He would later go on to produce rather famous Italian horror. Steve Reeves is a terrific Hercules in this tale based on several of the Greek classical myths, of course, combined, altered and rewritten for the screen. Serbian born Italian Sylva Koscina as Iole has gifted on screen presence. Her tenderness is only matched by her beauty. There's lots of fun character actors as well added to the mix, including a playful version of Ulysses and heavyweight champion Primo Carnera as Anteo, the giant. Sylvia Lopez as Queen Onfale, of Lidia is terrific in every scene she's in. Tragically, she passed away while working on another film the same year. Watching her here, she looks as healthy as a human has a right to be. Hard to believe she was suffering from leukemia at the time of shooting. The music score is almost as luscious as femme fatales in this epic. Enzo Masetti offers up a full bounty of a musical themed moments, particularly the love theme, used earlier from the first film of the Hercules series. As in most of these Italian productions, the voices are dubbed. But the quality and choice of voices is really rather good, each matching quite well the role of the character. Fans of old radio drama such as X minus One, Suspense, Dimension X, etc. will immediately recognize many of the familiar voices heard. All in all this is a great diversion from the fast cutting, violent, in your face films that now take precedence in our lives (if we let them). Watch this hidden classic with your date, your parents or your children and do so with ease and joy, the way films were meant to be seen. Or, if you are of a different predisposition, like others who might have difficulty remaining still for 5 minutes, you might want to stay away from this kind of film, or really anything made before you were born. Rent something more 'hip' or 'edgy' or whatever. Perhaps SAW XCIIV, Hostel XII or some other charming sadistic fare again and again and hang out with those who see life in similar hues as your own. That way you're sure never to be disappointed or accused of the Herculean feat of seeing things other than how you are supposed to.
User Review - 6/10 by Sylvester K69% "I don't care if he's Pluto, I'm going to knock that silly grin off his face."-Hercules (Steve Reeves)
User Review - 4/10 by Jessi t"Or if you want something visual, that's not too abysmal, we could take in an old Steve Reeves movie!" Well, let's see.. my first initial shock was seeing Mario Bava's name. That's not such a common name, is it? I mean.. Black Sunday Mario Bava? Anyway. It's a bunch of dubbed men in skirts with a plotline that's hard to follow, though I'm pretty sure it doesn't make much sense in general. Take it for what it is!
User Review - 4/10 by Ryan K4.5/10. Better than average hercules film. Poorly dubbed, but it looks better than most of the films of this nature at the time. As expected, badly acted. Fairly entertaining but it's still on the stupid side.
User Review - 4/10 by Mark HEven as a MST3K movie, it was pretty bad.
