	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Harlin embraces the mediocrity of the screenplay with a dour straight face, draining it of any enjoyably camp possibilities."	NEG
United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"Lutz’s acting muscles aren’t nearly as well developed as his pectorals and deltoids, and while the role may not call for a master thespian, it at least begs someone who can emote without looking like he’s straining to execute a dead lift."	NEG
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"It delivers what it promises, which is muscular guys in skimpy clothes fighting and howling, as well as some large-scale digitally enhanced battle sequences."	POS
United States	Scott Bowles USA Today	"There's a fun retro camp to 'Hercules', with nods to classics such as 'Ben-Hur' and 'Spartacus'. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Joe Neumaier New York Daily News	"It's amazing to think there were grown-ups behind the making of 'The Legend of Hercules'. (...) Rating: 0 (out of five)"	NEG
