Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and little lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for anyone who likes their action precise and fantasy fans. Lean and efficient, like its main character. Sits nicely alongside Black Panther or North by Northwest.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Well paced, at 1 hr 38 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1960: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.

Hercules decides to avenge the death of his wife, murdered at the hands of Éurito, king of Ecalia, but everything is a plot of an ambitious courtier. Hercules ends up falling in love with Deyanira, who is now a good queen.
