    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.

    Clip Shows? WTF

    We're still in Pilot film territory for Hercules the Legendary Journeys and we've got a damn clip show? Not even a good one, because these people who made these shows did so many clip shows they actually got good at it after a while.

    No, this one however, they just sit in a damn cave and laugh. Worst than stupid, that would be a 3 or a 4 out of 10.

    This is a 1 out of 10. I'll take stupid over this.

    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.

    The film's visual effects and set designs are mesmerizing, creating a captivating atmosphere that immerses viewers in the mythical world of ancient Greece.

    Recap with a Short Adventure

    Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) is retired and bored with his life of farmer and family man, missing the action of his adventures. Out of the blue, his best friend Iolaus (Michael Hurst) arrives and they remember their adventures. When a stranger comes from the distant village of Alturia asking for help to fight a monster, Deianeira (Tawny Kitaen) convinces her husband that he should help the villagers since he needs action in his life. Hercules and Iolaus head to Alturia and soon Hercules learns that a Minotaur is underground threatening the villagers.

    "Hercules in the Maze of the Minotaur" (1994) is a movie that could have been great, but it is not. The recap of the four others movies is boring and unnecessary, reducing the adventure of Hercules in the maze of the Minotaur to a short story that deserved more. This is the last movie of the series of five and unfortunately deserves a lower rating. Now the adventures of Hercules has finally settled down. My vote is six.

    Title (Brazil): "Hércules no Labirinto do Minotauro" ("Hercules in the Maze of the Minotaur")

    • 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.
