    A Gripping Mythical Adventure

    Hercules in the Maze of the Minotaur is a thrilling and action-packed film that takes viewers on an unforgettable mythological journey. Starring Kevin Sorbo as the iconic hero Hercules, the movie brings to life the legendary tale of the Minotaur, delivering a gripping and intense adventure.

    The film's visual effects and set designs are mesmerizing, creating a captivating atmosphere that immerses viewers in the mythical world of ancient Greece. As Hercules ventures into the treacherous maze to confront the fearsome Minotaur, the tension builds, and the stakes grow higher with each step.

    Sorbo's portrayal of Hercules is once again commendable, as he effortlessly embodies the hero's strength, bravery, and determination. The action sequences are well-executed, showcasing Hercules' physical prowess and intelligence as he navigates the labyrinthine maze. The encounters with mythical creatures and the intense battle with the Minotaur itself are exhilarating, leaving audiences on the edge of their seats. The film's pacing keeps the story moving at a brisk pace, ensuring that there is never a dull moment.

    Hercules in the Maze of the Minotaur is a worthy addition to the Hercules series, offering a gripping and immersive adventure for fans of mythology and epic tales. With its captivating visuals, intense action sequences, and a compelling portrayal of Hercules, this film is a must-watch for those seeking an enthralling and mythical journey.

    "But wherever there was evil, wherever an innocent would suffer, there would be Hercules."

    Hercules, married and a father of three, is settled down and longs for the adventures of his past, which leads to lots of flashbacks. Eventually he does get a chance for new adventure and heads off with Iolaus to fight the Minotaur.

    This is the fifth and final of the Hercules TV movies before Hercules: The Legendary Journey was launched. In a way, it serves as a good primer for that series because it's basically a clip show. While I enjoyed the Hercules TV series, they did do a lot of clip shows where they showed past clips from episodes with a few new scenes to fill time. This was done to save money but still meet the ordered per-season episode count. Not sure what the excuse is here but it's probably about saving money as well. It's nice to see Michael Hurst back as Iolaus. His chemistry with Sorbo is great and the Hercules/Iolaus friendship provided the show with its buddy comedy heart. Tawny Kitaen's sexy as ever. Anthony Quinn appears as Zeus for the last time. A miniature Rose McIver plays one of Hercules' kids. The Minotaur looks pretty cool but the excessive flashbacks are annoying. It's the least of the five movies but still entertaining.

    Closest to the series

    Of all the Hercules tv-movies that were made, this one manages to achieve the tone and theme of the Legendary Journeys. Kevin Sorbo and Michael Hurst have good chemistry with each other. My only problem with this tv-movie was the flashbacks. In my opinion, they really just slowed things down. Other than that, this pretty good and should be seen.

    Somewhat disappointing...

    I thoroughly Enjoy the first 4 movies. But unfortunatly this one with a bit disappointing. This was basically just a short and version of the first 4 movies and the end boss was a bit lackluster.

    I enjoyed the first 4 main protagonists but the minotaur was a bit small was lacking. It was just a man with a minotaur mask on in and the man was relatively short. Minotaur's need to be at least seven foot. I love the hercules universe, but this film probably didn't need to be made. The interesting twist was that the minotaur was another son of zeus. I would If the minotaur would have stayed alive and remain hercules, brother and earn his right so that zeus could convert him back to a human. This could have led to some interesting stories between Hercules and its brother in the legendary journeys.

    Good, but it could have been great

    This is the fifth and final episode of the Hercules television movies. This movie contains a lot of flashbacks of the other four movies. Because of this the story itself slows down and most of the times the flashbacks are annoying. And that is a shame, because this could be the best episode of them all, because it has the best plot. It could have been so much better if they put King Minos and all the others in the movie as well. But in stead we just see the Minotaur. But still, this Hercules-movie is a good and enjoyable action/adventure movie with good acting, great locations and a good climax. It still is a lot better than the tv-show that followed.

    • Trivia
      Rene O'Connor's first appearance in the Hercules universe during the sea serpent story. Since the scene where the sea serpent eats them, this does effectively put her in every episode of Hercules due to this scene being included in the intro for the series.
    • Goofs
      In the bar, Iolaus tells a story, in clip show format, to someone who doesn't believe that Hercules is Hercules. However, the story he tells didn't take place, as Iolaus died and Hercules went back in time preventing the events in the flashback from ever occurring.
    • Quotes
