 ROCK SOLID TELEVISION ENTERTAINMENT December 18, 2003
The entire hercules movie series is an intriguing thrillfest perfectly designed to bring fun back to television. I really hope its success lures writers and producers to kill off these stupid reality shows and bring entertainment back to televison. I am forced to rent movies now that there is normally never anything compelling to watch other than cop and law shows.
A Solid Genre Movie. January 1, 2001
Early fans of Hercules and Xena may remember the weekend Action Pack movies of 1994. This was the second movie that stars Kevin Sorbo as Hercules, Anthony Quinn as Zeus, Renee O'Conner "Gabrielle" as princess Deianeira, Robert Trebor "Salmoneus" as servant Weylan, and Nathaniel Lees "Chairon the Centaur of Young Hercules" as the Blue Priest. Once again Hercules is sent on a quest to stop the goddess Hera by finding the lost city of Troy. Giants, Queens, Sea Monsters, the 48 sons of Martinus and a Blue Priest Cult army stand in his way. The movie is clever, fast-paced and a good example of what makes these shows fun to watch. The Deianeira/Blue Priest storyline reminded me of the Dreamworker Xena episode. Well worth watching.
Full movie, two hour episode with Renee O'Connor too! September 5, 2000
Antony Quinn plays Zeus, Kevin Sorbo the mighty Hercules. Add Renee O'Connor (pre Gabrielle, side kick to Xena) in this early episode that helped to make Hercules The Legendary Journeys into a series. When war threatens, Hercules pledges to save Troy from attack. But, Hera who bares no love for Hercules, hides the city. The only way to find the land is by using a magical compass that will reveal its coordinates. Giving a helpful preview, Renee O'Connor plays a rescued innocent who sort of helps in the quest. Great fun, punny humor, wonderful cast, and the magic of Hercules' unique style.
Wow! The best one of all! November 6, 1999
Herc is charming and funny and it's a two-hour movie, I didn't know it existed but it's the best one of all.
 Fun For All Ages! June 9, 1999
Although not quite living up to the first H:TLJ movie, "Hercules and the Amazon Women", this "Hercules and The Lost Kingdom" is a pleasant movie the entire family should enjoy. What is most interesting is that Kevin Sorbo's co-star is a very young Renee O'Conner who will go on to be Gabrielle in the "Xena, Warrior Princess" television show. In this movie she plays a young, fiesty woman who seems an orphan but is haunted by the idea that she is more than she appears. She tags along with Hercules and they find one adventure after another, including being swallowed up by a giant sea serpent! Robert Trebor also appears but NOT as Salmoneous (as he has been in both HERCULES and XENA series). Instead, he is a very willing slave that learns to be a hero. Over all, not a superior movie but the special effects are good and, as always, Kevin Sorbo is a wonder to watch. NOTE * Anthony Quinn again plays Zeus to perfection but, sadly, dashing Michael Hurst did not return as Iolaus. His absence was felt.
