Am I the only one who is sick and tired that Hollywood keeps butchering up ancient history and myths, by insisting on creating movies based on comics? The actual history of real events or myths is equally attractive to be moved to the big screen. People used to watch history movies and actually learn something. Now people believe that there were monsters in the battle of the 300 in Sparta (and thus mistake the battle for a mythical one) or that the Norse God Thor wore jeans. And now Hercules as "an embittered warrior turned violent mercenary". Srsly?

I am not sick of these super hero + ancient mythology films. I was actually waiting for Hercules since Troy film remake in 2004.

I liked the Thor movie though, and this is coming from a "fan" of norse mythology. |

Why couldn't they just have adapted Andy McDermott's "The Tomb of Hercules" instead?
God damnit I want those books made into movies. |
