* QuestionableCasting: Kellan Lutz as Hercules. To be fair, it's not his first Myth/GreekMythology beefcake role as he was Poseidon in ''Film/{{Immortals}}'', but any actor associated with the ''Film/{{Twilight}}'' films (which are infamous for the [[DullSurprise wooden acting]] of nearly all the actors) gets this reaction.

*CompleteMonster: [[EvilOverlord King Amphitryon]] is [[AdaptationalVillainy much worse than his depiction in the original mythology]], being a cruel tyrant bent on conquering and subjugating everything around him. Favoring his eldest son over Hercules, Amphitryon sends the latter to join a military platoon led by Captain Sotiris before having a group of mercenaries ambush and massacre them all. When Hercules and Sotiris survive, Amphitryon sells them off as slaves to become fighters in the GladiatorGames. Amphitryon later [[TilMurderDoUsPart kills his own wife]] after finding her praying to Hera, and has Hercules [[ATasteOfTheLash flogged in public]] when he rises up against him.

** The use of gratuitous slow motion can get rather ridiculous, particularly when it's used in [[MundaneMadeAwesome relatively mundane scenes]] like ''a horse jumping over a log''.
