Hercules - 1983

When I learned there was a version of Hercules starring our favorite Hulk, Lou Ferrigno, the whole family was on board. Well, most of the family...

I don't even know how to start. We're in space (not where I thought we'd be, but ok), and there's a pot. The pot breaks apart and makes planets. Then, the gods have a discussion and decide that to combat evil in the world, they're going to make one really strong, good man. They send him to earth and 4000 years later he possesses a child and grows into strong man. Both his parents are killed, he throws a bear into space, fights robots, and wipes out an entire civilization. That's the short version. 

The long version would take way too long to get into. This movie was not what I expected at all. I saw so many strange things that didn't make any sense. I think everyone's favorite part was the bear. I'm not going to explain anything from the movie. I think anyone of a certain age should watch it. Why of a certain age? Well...

The outfits. Oh my gosh. I don't know who made those or who designed them, but they had to be men. The women who wore them should have been paid extra. Some of them more than extra. You'd think with all the people on set, someone would speak up and say, "Hey, guys. Hera over there is popping out of her shirt. Let's fix that." And I feel like they could have found some bigger shells for Cassiopeia.

Overall, we all loved it. My husband said it was stupid, but I'm not fooled. He was laughing along with the rest of us. It had been a rough day for some of us, and this was just what we needed. Guess what? There's a sequel! The Adventures of Hercules. I'm going to see if we can watch that one in the future. That sounds good to me! Good Movie!
