Cinema is, by its very nature, one of the most entertaining kinds of media.

Perhaps the clearest example of its infamy isDavid Ayer’sSuicide Squad.

Thus, its hopes of being the first step in a large multimedia franchise fell flat.

Others go so far beyond that thatthey just become plain bad.The Legend of Herculesis a case of the latter.

It’s a sword & sandal adventure exploring the origins of the mythical Greek hero.

Sadly,for every exceptional project he takes part in, he also stars in two or three duds.

For Nic Cage duds, look no further thanGhost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance.

Some of the worst acting and writing that audiences in the 2010s were ever tortured with.

An unintentionally surreal atmosphere that feels more nightmarish than inviting?

Terrible writing and direction that offer nothing of value beyond accidental hilarity?
