Hercules The Legendary Journeys - Season 1 Reviews
Thank the Gods!!
Dude, I'm so glad Hercules is finally on DVD, it's been too long since it's been on TV. I think that overall I liked H:TLJ better than X:WP (Xena: Warrior Princess) because it's tone was more consistant, it was never a soap opera, it travelled to other lands while keeping Greece as the focus, and it didn't screw with its own universe by killing off all of the gods!! The five movies vary in quality (the Underworld one is the best), but they are really the testing grounds for what the series will be. The first season presents Ares very differently than how he will eventually be portrayed by the late Kevin Smith--both H:TLJ and X:WP were loose with their continuity and reinvented characters and storylines as they pleased. And there aren't as many cool demi-god maneuvers in the fight sequences because of the budget. Even so, there is a lot of warmth, humor, thrills, kewl special FX, and campy fun in the first season as Our Hero and his goofy but heroic best buddy Iolaus travel the roads and right wrongs. This DVD also introduces many of the most important recurring characters in the series: Zeus, Alcemene, Hera, Deineira, Ares, Salmoneous, Nemesis, and Xena. Buy this DVD, you'll have fun watching it.
PERFECT for Hercules fans!
This DVD set is great. Not only do you get the 5 TV movies, but you get the 13 episodes that made up Season 1. I was kinda skeptical about this DVD set at first because I heard some people were upset about the Xena DVD sets, but the Hercules DVD set is a perfect purchase for us Hercules fans. The episodes look and sound better than they did on TV. The commentaries by Kevin Sorbo and Michael Hurst are entertaining and very funny. They even provide video commentary of Sorbo and Hurst physically watching the episode they are providing commentary on. This DVD set is excellent. The only disappointments I found from this set were minor things. I always loved the TV promo ads (previews of each episode on TV when it was coming out), and I was hoping those really cool promos would be in the set, but they weren't. Plus the scene selections seem to random and to few for each episode, but other than that it's perfect. All fans should purchase this!
