The choice for Hercule I think was well chosen, just like in the previous film. The cinematography was very well done. The changes made from the novel in this film were very questionable. The film did not live up or hold true to the book adequately I'm the slightest. If you are watching for the film, you may enjoy it. If you are watching as a fan of the novel/novels, or a fan of the story in the slightest, you will not enjoy. The film does not flow smoothly like I'm the novel. The opening and set up is very poor, the murders changed, the details were completely rewritten. The detective work and interrogations are nonexistent and completely lacking.
