Reviews for Hercules
Woods is funny as the lord of the Underworld, playing him like an agent with blue flames for hair.
Jumps into the ancient legends feet-first, cheerfully tossing out what won't fit and combining what's left into a new look and a lighthearted style.
Since we live in an age of superheroes and action figures, what better place to look for material than the gods of Greek mythology?
