I was excited by the idea of this movie, but it looks pretty bad.

Still hoping for a fun time, but there isn't anything here that doesn't look generic.

 

[dabig2]

Looks OK. Are we getting his 12 labors? Thought they were going for something more grounded and realistic like its comic counterpart. I'm guessing someone else will be telling the story of his legends (flashback form) to someone while Rockules stands by and smiles and doesn't deny or confirm them.

Depending on reviews and hype, I might give this a look in the theaters. I don't think it's as bad as many people in here seem to be thinking. Worse than Scorpion King? Even with Ratner I find that to be hyperbole.

 

[happypup]

Not a great trailer, but it looks like some pretty cool set pieces will be in this film.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Dwayne Johnson? Sold.

 

[bigboss370]

i was supposed to laugh at the ending right?

 

[Incitemaybe]

Looked better than I thought it would. Still don't trust blockbusters like this to be anything special. Always like to be surprised however.

 

[Amon37]

Bearded Dwayne Johson? I'm in.

 

[childplease]

Looked ok but still don't buy The Rock as Hercules or any Greek Hero for that matter.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

For some odd reason, I thought the Rock was going to be Conan, and this was a Conan trailer, even as watching it, then it was not. I am very spaced out. I like the Rock with a beard.

 

[kakashi08]

He looks better with the beard. They should have chosen Manu Bennett (crixus) from Spartacus to play Hercules.

[Rad-]

I am Hercule- IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU ARE

 

[HI. BILLY MAYS HERE]

Oh. Brett Ratner. That explains it.

I agree with this

I love the rock but man this looks awful

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

May watch for the typeface they used for the title, alone.

 

[RedSwirl]

That looked dope.

The source material (a comic) apparently isn't even set in Greece, but rather "barbarian Thrace."

 

[BearFlexington]

His teeth are too straight. Reminds me of:

 

[Chettlar]

 

[Lazyslob]

You're supposed to get the chills

 

[See You Next Wednesday]

It's based on actual depictions of Hercules:

Fits with the Rock's secret nickname, Pebbles.

 

[CadetMahoney]

Fits with the Rock's secret nickname, Pebbles.

Is this a reference to steroid use? Could be.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

I've never seen the bottom movie but i always see the face. Rock seems like he is a better actor anyways. The bottom girl picture looks like she is phoning it in

It's an infamous image that has substantially more meaning when you see all of it...

 

[fader]

His teeth are too straight. Reminds me of:

or

anyways, this trailer looked cool. I need to see more acting though cause as great as

the rock is in wrestling, his acting has always been sub-par.

 

[shaowebb]

sigh...Im sorry but The Rock is 80% comedy and one liners as a wrestler and he is so cast as his wrestler gimmick that he just takes me out of any role he tries to play. Plus...it looks cheesey. I smell another Doom.

 

[Ronin]

I'll pretty much watch anything with The Rock.

Looks like there will be more footage or a new trailer during the MTV Movie Awards in 2 weeks:
