Hercules and the Tyrants of Babylon
Certified Crap. CrapScore 58, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Hercules heads to Babylon and discovers that rescuing a queen also means reorganising the local tyranny. Palaces, cavalry and heroic exertion keep this sword-and-sandal adventure busy. The plot may change allies without warning, but the miniature architecture knows exactly when to collapse.
