The great Hercules spends his time ploughing his fields and ploughing his understanding wife Deianeira, but he dreams often of adventure. Luckily for him they gave him a TV series, but the fifth and final movie before it began proper is a bit of a cheat: it’s half clips-show and half new adventure. A lot of the new parts are written solely as a means to initiate flashback footage from the previous four films. (There’s a word for that and we know what it is, right, kids?) To add more insult to eye-injury, the new footage, when it decides to actually get on with it, is good, meaning viewing is time wasted and time not wasted! Curse you, half-movie!
