Why do people hate this movie again? Any other reason besides

Because it's a better Superman adaptation than anything WB has done

I enjoyed this movie

Who the fuck would hate this movie.

Remember the scent of mother.

Main characters are pretty bland compared the the supporting cast, although that's par for the course with Disney most of the time.

Danny Devito.

Internet movie critics who were just a few years too old to be the main demographic when it came out give it bad reviews, that's pretty much the main reason people dislike it now. Everyone in my age group liked it just fine growing up with it.

I only dislike it a little bit because I prefer more traditional, timeless sort of Disney movies over their occasional more goofy, pop-culture spouting movies with cartooney-er art styles. I liked Emperor's New Groove less than usual for the same reason. I can still definitely see why people like those movies, though. They're certainly very fun. I only happen to like them less than most of Disney's other films.

It makes me want to play Age of Mythology, and I can't.

Some might call it a formula, but I love it and wish they'd stick with that instead of the menstruating gay musicals of today.

It's my 2nd favorite Disney movie next to Emperor's New Groove. Whoever decided to give it a Motown soundtrack is a goddamn genius

>that one fuck who always points out the inaccuracies in the movie while watching it
Yes I know Hera fucking hated Heracles's guts and Hades was probably the nicest guy in the entire pantheon but I don't care. The fact that the movie is called "Hercules" instead of "Heracles" should be a big enough red flag to let you know Disney cared more about making an entertaining movie than an accurate one.

Who the fuck hates Hercules? Buthurt greeks?

Most of the people who hate it are first-year Classics students, but luckily second-year classics students often tell them to shut up. Sure, the movie has its flaws but it's excellent overall.

>>79013971
Now the Emperor's New Groove I get why people hate. I just wish people would hate it more, spread the word.

>>79013985

The worst thing is that those same people who will complain about that will in the same breath praise stuff like Cinderella, even if they are also wholly inaccurate to their source material. But hey they're older so it's alright.

>>79014119
Nobody hates the Emperor's New Groove.

Understanding the Hercules is actually the Superman story just set in ancient Greece rather than any attempt at adapting actual Greek mythology helped me appreciate it a lot more.

SURELY people have bigger issues with the movie except "it's just Superman" or "not muh herakles".

I can't really think of anything except the hydra looking like ass even back in the day.

>>79013565
If we don't count Pixar (and they were still pretty different in the 90s) only the Lion King, Mulan and the Hunchback are better.

>>79014209
There isn't a lot once you get past "not muh Herakles." Some people find Hercules himself too bland compared to Meg or Hades, or maybe they just find the generalized hero's story too boring or predictable.

>>79014209
I loved the Hydra as a kid. Literally my favourite toy for a couple of years.

People say that about Aladdin too. I don't get it. They're likable, they develop, they struggle with dilemmas and have to fight on their own terms to win.

Also, I can't remember the last time a movie ended with the hero pulling out a sword and stabbing the villain to death.

>>79012996
>Why do people hate this movie again?
People hate this movie?

Plot holes, the villain is the only likable character, and Devito as Rocky's Micky isn't that funny.

And before someone asks me what the plotholes are:

>Hades has magic depower juice he doesn't mention or try to make more of/use again when his first attempt fails
>God of the underworld needs to ask his underlings if Hercules is dead instead of just checking his database
>Hades' oracles can see the future but could not forsee Hercules regaining his god status

I doubt you actually heard complaints and bet you made this thread because you heard someone didn't like it.

Hades outshines the rest of the main cast, gospel is weird with Greek mythology, and the mythos they make is swept under the rug after the first 20-30 minutes. It's more of a regular sports movie than a good action/hero movie.

I have yet to see people who hate it, but there are plenty of people out there that thought it was bland and not worth liking.

>>79014591
>Hades has magic depower juice he doesn't mention or try to make more of/use again when his first attempt fails

Looks pretty rare mang, might take 600 years to produce.

>God of the underworld needs to ask his underlings if Hercules is dead instead of just checking his database

Gods don't go to Hades.

>God of the underworld needs to ask his underlings if Hercules is dead instead of just checking his database

Gods don't answer to fate.

Wait, people hate this movie?
I can understand people would get pissy about historical inaccuracies, but considering 90% of Greek mythology is "Zues fucks something to death" and that's not exactly "family friendly" it's probably a smart idea to let inaccuracies slide.

>>79014415
Made me check it, and the little mermaid isn't from the 90s. I though that the Beauty and the Beast wasn't either (that's why I didn't mentioned it) but you're actually right about that one.

Tarzan and Aladdin are not better at all imho. Specially Tarzan that was good but only had Phil Collins as his strong point.

>>79014712
Bull fucking shit, Beauty and the Beast was the 80's incarnate. I can live with it having been made in the 80's and released in 1990 or something.

>>79013521
Who gives a flying fuck about anything the Greeks think? Their educational system is so fucked that not even most of them understand their own history.

>>79014672
>Gods don't go to Hades.
To be fair, the point of the juice was to make Herc mortal, so he would go to Hades if he died.

Now, the fact that he's a baby might change that.

>>79012996
Personally I wasn't interested in the "Olympic gods are marketed like Pro Wrestlers" gag that the whole movie used... Loved the movie otherwise.

>>79014802
You've got a point. The only argument I can make for this is that Hades maybe can't keep track of who dies after all, they're all swirling around.

>>79014416
They actually did in Mythology. Don't even think she's around in Disney.

>>79013833
it was easily in the top 3 of the whole movie so... not a huge loss.

>>79013195
Look for bonuses in the trees

>>79013660
The score was based around the fact that Greek plays traditionally had a chorus narrating and singing the events, it's actually pretty clever

>>79012996
My old highschool English teacher said that we went to Disney at the time of production and they showed him a bunch of behind the scenes shit and he thought it looked stupid so he never watched it even to this day.

Disney/Pixar almost always put stupid amount of research into their movies
They fly the main creative people to the settings or bring the settings to them: they dumped a whole truck of garbage onto the parking lot for Wall-E and went to japan for BH6 and based baymax on a japanese bell.
Because its really the little things that matter the most when making an animated movie

most don't even care. greek mythology is just that. a myth. a story. it's not something that actually happened, but rather available for entertainment purposes. even in greece we have several different versions of our mythology, some darker than others. just look at is as having different versions of a classic fairy tale.

It was quite jarring because it was back when CGI was starting to creep into places where it didn't belong. The other Disney CGI and even most of it in the rest of Hercules was toned down or melded with traditional art which made it look a lot better.

>>79016393
Yeah, I get that. It's more like how some Irish/Welsh people who get mad when other people use Celtic mythology, and really how upset just about everyone gets when their mythology is used. Maybe it's just an internet thing.

Don't worry, Hephaestus got to oogle his waifu earlier.

I've done a number of troll posts about how they treated the mythology but it's personally my favorite animated Disney movie and I think it's fairly reverent if not faithful to the original stories. Just the little stuff like baby Hercules fighting the two snakes for example or the appearance of Cerberus.

>>79016679
Hephaestus definitely knew. In the myths, he trapped Aphrodite and Ares in bed with a golden net, and then invited all the other gods to come laugh at them. For some reason.

>>79014708
I'm fine with 99% of it but Hera being nice just puts me off. Even the Kevin Sorbo show had her as the villain.

>>79016774
Well, think of it this way: in this movie Hercules is actually her son. No need for her to have a grudge on the kid.

>>79012996
>Why do people hate this movie again?

my balls itch

Eh, never heard anyone hate it. At most, I've just seen people consider it dumb, maybe complaining that Herc was too whiny or Pain & Panic were too annoying, but I'd say a lot of people are indifferent to it rather than actively disliking it.
>>79015131
Doesn't mean the songs were good though. Nothing wrong with the Muses acting as a Greek chorus, but their songs didn't do anything for me.

I can't recall even hearing or reading someone complaining about the inaccuracy except to say "they could've done a lot more with it." You see more people whining about those myth complaints than the actual myth complaints.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Disney is always inaccurate but there's a difference between that and being completely unrecognisable. They could have picked a different myth if Herc wasn't PC enough Hell they didn't need to mention Hera was Zeus' wife if that made her a more convenient villain. Instead what we got was not an adaptation nor a good story in it's own right.

>>79019939

Hercules is the exact same thing as pretty much any other Disney adaptation, which is taking the base elements of something (mainly names and characters) and putting their own spin on it.
