    Can we have a movie without a superhero in it?

    I have a post coming tomorrow (hopefully) that will talk about the number of comic book adaptations...pretty crazy.

    WETA is awesome.

    I like Berg's work. It feels, for lack of a better term, clean. I don't think he gets bogged down with a lot of extraneous junk in his storytelling.

    That said, I'm just going off of a gut feeling and haven't really sat down to test the theory. So, I reserve the right to be totally wrong.

    There are so many stories for Hercules, and another one like this is a shit. There is no a bit of historical true in it.. More interesting is thestory for the relations between a thracian priestess of a largest sanctuary in Rhodopes (the land of the thracians) and Alexander the Great. And her phrophecy, that he will become conquer of the world. It's described in the book "Rhodopea, the thracian priestess". Better, full of thracian mysteries, rites and treasures... and passion..
