Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Kirpianuscus Ryan Gosling. the Ryan Gosling. as the young Hercules. this is all. because the script and the acting are far to give more. and the desire to use the success of other series is the worst idea. the disrespect to the Greek mythology is only a small detail. the real sin is the ignorance to propose a coherent story. the fights and the expressions of friendship are not convincing because each is only a drawing. the good intentions are suffocated by costumes and silly situations. Hercules is a hero and his grow up in the series is only the ordinary grow up of a young man from our time. and imagination of scriptwriter is ill. so, the great fans of the Kevin Sorbo are the only happy public of this bizarre series.

bpeck13 Too bad Ian Bohen didn't stay on with the series. Ryan Gosling is a fine actor, but he does not have the quirkiness that Ian Bohen did when he played Young Hercules in "Hercules, the Legendary Journeys." And the chemistry among Hercules, Iolaus, and Jason just isn't quite the same. But you still got to love Kevin Smith as Ares, the god of War—he was just so good at being bad.The worst part is that the series just stops mid-stream. They should have done one more year and wrapped things up. They could have at least covered the items brought up in "Hercules, the Legendary Journeys"— for example: Lilith getting pregnant with Jason's child and Hercules and Nemesis' relationship. At least the viewers wouldn't have been left just hanging with no conclusions or closures. They talk about fan/viewer loyalty—how about reciprocating some of that loyalty to the viewers??? Don't get us hooked just to slam the door in our faces!! I liked the series very much and would have liked to see it continued.There is one odd part in this series though—Hercules has other mortal half-brothers fathered by Zeus (Pollux, Castor, and Lucius). In "Hercules, the Legendary Journeys," there was only one other half-mortal/half-god mentioned and it was indicated that they were the only two half-mortals/half gods that existed (Hercules and Aphrodite's son, Deon, in "The Power" Season 2 Episode 22). So Hercules just forgot about the other three in the Legendary Journeys??? (I know Young Hercules was filmed after The Legendary Journeys, but the writers should have paid more attention to details.)

fullenw Young Hercules was a fun show. This is a prequel to Hercules The Legendary Journeys.Ryan Gosling does a good job of Hercules. Ian Bohen (who played Young Hercules in flashbacks of Hercules TLJ) looks more like Kevin Sorbo, but Ryan Gosling had more screen presence. He showed a fun side of Hercules before he fully matured and got older.A lot of familiar characters appear throughout the series - Ares, Apollo, Hephestus, Artemis, Strife, Discord...Obviously this show isn't as violent or serious as Hercules TLJ, it came on Fox Kids so what do you expect? The action was still fun nonetheless. They also did a good job of progressing story lines for a 30 minute show.

dollyof02 I love to watch reruns of this show! Ryan looks hot in leather!! I'm glad to see that WAM plays the reruns. I known that this show is aimed for younger views but I can't resist watching it every time it's on. You don't need to be a master in Greek history to understand this show, which is great because I'm not.
