Hercules was a great story about love, honor, and courage. Hercules is a story about a young boy named Hercules who is the son of the Greek god of thunder and lightning zuse .

Hurc was taken from his god parents and ends up on earth and his god parents can only watch him grow now he is a mortal although he is still “Too Strong” , He has a goal to be united with his father Zeus on mount Olympus so he gets trained to be a hero by a goatman named Phil.

Hades the keeper of the underworld is trying to stop Hercules so that he can continue with his evil plans. This movie has a message that is to be courageous, brave, and honorable.

 There is lots of fighting, one scene when Hercules cuts a monster's head off showing lots of green blood another scene in the beginning where two creatures try to poison Hercules as a baby. The movie gives you the true meaning of being a hero. It's not very scary, and even in the scenes that it were intense, they lasted for 2, maybe 3 minutes. Lots of good messages as well. Herc learns how to accept himself, be kind, and care for others. This should be rating PG for some scary images and violence. That might be too scary and violent for G rating. There are several musical numbers that are good a d quite catchy.

I would recommend this film to people as long as they dont watch on their own as it may scare some younger children but its still a nice family movie about Greek mythology.
