History YMMV / Hercules2014

* TheyJustDidntCare: One accusation leveled at the movie, because every one of the trailers shows Hercules fighting monsters, but the actual movie reveals these to be lies told by Iolaus to intimidate a bunch of pirates. Within the first four minutes. Hercules fights mere humans for the rest of the movie. Meanwhile, the original comic series is still mainly about the wars of humans (hence "The Thracian Wars") with the Twelve Labours already completed, but the monsters Hercules fought were still real.

** There's also Eurystheus, the King of Athens, who had Hercules's family murdered by wolves and then blamed him for it just because the people loved Hercules more than him. He then works with Cotys to try and help build an empire out of the rest of Greece.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: While the effects are better than the ''other'' [[Film/TheLegendOfHercules Hercules film]] (especially in regards with the lion), they're still pretty fake-looking. Most noticeably during the fight with the hydra.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad King]] [[EvilOldFolks Cotys]] is a power-hungry monarch who murdered his own son-in-law in order to become king. He later gave Hercules the task of preparing an army for him which he could then use to fight Rheseus, a supposedly cruel ruler who had massacred several villages. [[TheReveal It is revealed later on, however]], that Cotys himself had ordered those mass killings, and that Rheseus himself was a [[GoodAllAlong revolutionary]] that Cotys shifted the blame to. He then tried to callously [[WouldHurtAChild murder his own grandson]] in front of Hercules's eyes, and later tried to [[OffingTheOffspring execute his own daughter]], all while completely ignoring her pleas for mercy.

Within the first four minutes. Hercules fights mere humans for the rest of the movie. The original comic series only downplays, not dismisses, the monsters Hercules fought but it's still about the wars of humans, so this is more of a marketing issue than the story.

* {{NarmCharm}}: The Rock's line, "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis I. Am. HERCULES!!]]" has this effect due to its overly-dramatic delivery. It becomes a real-life CrowningMomentOfFunny when you realize that Rock, according to an interview with Conan O'Brien, went so [[LargeHam over the top]] with that line that he ''literally blacked out'' when he was done screaming.

** Misleading as the trailers may be, the actual story is just following the ''Hercules'' comics by the late Steve Moore, who Creator/AlanMoore (no relation) strongly vouched for as having [[ShownTheirWork Shown His Work]]... in the course of calling for [[DisownedAdaptation a boycott of the film]] on his behalf because of various issues. If the marketing had been more straightforward, people wouldn't be piqued.
