The Legend of Hercules (3D)

It's "300" meets "Gladiator" meets "Percy Jackson" when the son of Zeus suffers from "Cinderella" syndrome at the hands of his evil stepfather & stepbrother. A predictable plot has our hero (Kellen Lutz) survive a suicide mission and sold into slavery where he must fight for his freedom against enormous odds in order to save his love from wedding his enemy. The special effects are underwhelming and overproduced. The ho-hum performance by this second banana "Twilight" vampire doesn't bold well for a "Hercules: The Legend Continues".

Alien gives it 2 "Steve Reeves and Kevin Sarbo" stars out of 4.
