The Build Up
Dwayne Johnson has shared insights on the film, through twitter and Facebook, and has hyped the crowd around the world. And I for one, was apprehensive of at first, but after seeing the trailer, I was convince. I have seen loads on comments by people online – everyone thinks that the trailer did in fact lived up to the expectations, and that it only adds to the promise.
Can The Rock Pull It Off
The Rock is a WWE Superstar and a global icon. When someone so widely recognized, plays a major role like Hercules, we can help but wonder, can he pull it off? Well only time will tell, but the trailer does give us a feeling of how the movie will be like.
The Trailer Rocked
From the start to finish, the trailer rocked, without the Rock. His iconic face only appeared twice, very briefly, in the trailer. The focus was put on to the movie, and the epic moments like when he fights a multi-headed dragon, or when he yells “I AM HERCULES!” chills.
A Legend Is Never Forgotten
The Rock sure made it believable that he really was Hercules, this did not happen overnight. He has gone through rigorous physical training and a 6-month lockdown in Budapest, to enter the mind of the first superhero of the world, Hercules.
