Ancient Greece is a pretty common setting for lots of movies centered on ancient warfare.
In short, don’t come into this flick expecting a good, historically accurate depiction of true events.

The good parts are really good, while the bad parts are abysmal.
In short, it’s pretty middle-of-the-road overall.
The Makhai also feel decently intimidating and dangerous, as befits their nature.

Granted, the movie isn’t awful.
Many aspects of the film were lacking, but where it really shone was in its final battle sequence.
Here, Hercules faces off against the forces ofKing Cotys I(John Hurt), ruler of Thrace.
This movie really needed this scene, and it may havesingle-handedly saved it from being a whole lot worse.
But if there’s one thing it got right, it’s the battle sequences.

One of these conquests occurs in present-day Pakistan, coming to be known as the Battle of the Hydaspes.
Still, Alexander was able to emerge victorious.
Any fan of Ancient Greece ought to check this battle for authenticity becauseAlexandernailed it in that department.
The Trojans take the wooden horse into the city, believing it to be a gift to the gods.
Pretty much the whole movie centers around this siege, and it’svery exciting from start to finish.
