Fighting Olympus

I had no idea I was going to be watching action with greek mythology! I also have an interest in cults and the mysterious. This movie had such a unique story line and writing and actor performances. There were many moments that I was thrilled by watching and also many various moments that the action and dialogue and plot kept me wondering what was going to happen next. I think the writing was unique, original, and also exquisite for a movie like this one. I hope to see a follow up to it and I think the director and film team also have a lot of talent for and indie movie. I'll also look to see the actors in other roles they'll play.

I enjoy watching films that tells a fantastical mythological tale. "Fighting Olympus" is compelling and imaginative, and filled with unexpected plot twists that keeps the audience captivated. Being a huge fan of Greek Mythology, I love seeing Hades, Zeus, Athena, and Medusa in action in the realm of the Gods. Leslie Jones shines as Rucker, a tough and compassionate ex-cop determined to find his kidnapped brother, Biddle (Devinair Mathis) and enters the lion's den - a ruthless cult based on the Greek pantheon. The ensemble cast was game, and made this distopian world interesting.

The set design of this film is impressive. This movie has tons of characters and plenty of action. Directed, written and produced by Julian Hampton, who managed to made the movie look big and cinematic, with wonderfully choreographed fight scenes. If you are looking for an entertaining film that will take you to another realm, look no further.

An imaginative take on Greek mythology with strong direction by Julian Hampton. There was great production, sound design, music, lighting and some beautiful and impressive shots. Julian Hampton did very well making the picture look bigger than I'm sure his indie budget allowed. Some excellent choreographed fight scenes.

Lead by Leslie Jones who plays Rucker I kept guessing how it all was going to play out. Will look for more from Julian Hampton in the future. A unique story that I can not recall having seen before. It's an interesting and wild ride. A good LA cop story with a twist. Worth watching.

It is amazing what these filmmakers were able to accomplish. This is a HUGE movie full of big sets, exotic locations, tons of characters and TONS of action. Gun battles, hand to hand combat, you name it! This movie delivers them ALL. It's really inspiring to see what can be achieved without big Hollywood budgets when you've got creativity and a great group of creative, willing and talented people. But it's not JUST the spectacle that makes this movie watching. The story is EPIC! Twists and turns, colorful characters and a great, core story of love and family anchoring it all. See it to believe it!

This film has a large cast, very good lighting and some production values that set it apart from most low budget films. But it is the unique story that makes it watchable. At first, it looked like a standard cop drama, terrorist story, but then it took a turn into a cult world that was unexpected. Sometimes the story wavered between being a dark, serious drama, and a comic romp, but it had a very interesting premise that kept it watchable. There was some exposition to explain the world we were seeing that I thought was unneeded. But the lead actors, playing brothers in the film, were both likeable and we rooted for them. Haley Jackson as Medusa was breathtakingly gorgeous.
