	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Tom Huddleston Time Out	"Strap on your swordbelt, buckle your sandals and oil up your rippling six-pack, because here comes yet another interminable, CGI-drenched mythic mish-mash with far more money than brain cells (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG

United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"A grandly staged, solidly entertaining, old-fashioned adventure movie that does something no other Hercules movie has quite done before: it cuts the mythical son of Zeus down to human size"	POS
United States	Stephen Farber The Hollywood Reporter	"The movie is often clunky, but at least it’s fast and unpretentious (...) there are plenty of battle scenes to delight connoisseurs of carnage"	NEU
United States	Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune	"Dwayne Johnson, perhaps the only actor around who can look superhuman and self-deprecating at once, wears the title role like a custom tailored lion skin (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	John DeFore The Washington Post	"The best Hercules movie of 2014 (...) Its visuals are more transporting than the moodily hyper-modern look of sword-and-sandal hits such as '300' and “Clash of the Titans.”	NEU
