ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

bkoganbing Through the miracle of time travel where the 3 Stooges start monkeying around with their friend Quinn Redeker's, the boys, Redeker, and girl friend Vickie Triplett go back in time to ancient Greece and start doing some real monkeying with Greek mythology. Why then is this film entitled The Three Stooges Meet Hercules.As it's come down in history Hercules and Ulysses were friends and allies, but not here where Hercules is part of a revolution against Ulysses in the city of Ithaca. Their mission as Stooges is to make sure history and mythology tell the right myths.The feature film years with Curly Joe were much tamer than the frantic Stooges shorts of earlier times. But Curly Joe brings along an economy size bottle of tranquilizers that save the situation when they and Redeker are facing both man and beast.Not the Stooges of old though their fans will be pleased.

winner55 All the Stooges films set in past historical eras intentionally spoof historical genres with anachronisms (ancient Egyptians comment on baseball, a Civil War general makes a reference to a radio show, Medieval knights worry whether Lady Godiva might offend the censors, etc.). But anachronisms are tossed about so gleefully here, you begin to realize that this is what the film is really all about - how movies set in the past pull the wool over the eyes of their innocently romantic audiences with a few spangles, a bit of flash, the inevitable tear-jerk scene, and a good dose of beefcake/cheesecake. In fact, the recipe for this film could make for pretty heavy satire if the Stooges weren't so clearly making a light-hearted (and light-headed) romp of it all.Those who complain that the boys are looking pretty old in the film pretty much miss the point. An aging clown looks bad when he tries to play it young; but by working one's whiskers into the act, the clown regenerates himself as a new personality. These are not the old Stooges who bounced their way through the madcap shorts of the '30s; but they are a heck of a lot more fun than the Stooges of the '50s, trying to pretend that age had never happened. True, in their later features, they were very dependent on their scripts, which frequently let them down. But here the script is really not bad at all, and the Stooges are having a grand time, and we should, too. Just set your critical mind at rest and enjoy the show.

Joseph P. Ulibas The Three Stooges Meet Hercules (1962) was another theatrical film that the aging "Three Stooges" did for their new generation of fans. Having to tone down the physicality of their slapstick humor, the Stooges had to use a lot more verbal exchanges than they have did in the past. The three lovable geezers work in a pharmacy. Theie boss is a swell guy but he's also a spineless creep. A freak accident causes all of them to travel back to Ancient Greece and create all kinds of havoc. Several questions are raised (aren't there always). How did they wind up traveling backwards in time? Who will greet them in Ancient Greece. Where do they wind up at? How can they communicate to the natives if they speak ancient Greek? To find out the answers to these earth shaking questions then you'll have to watch THE THREE STOOGES MEET HERCULES!!!Recommended for die-hard geriatric Three Stooges fans.

Wizard-8 I've never been a fan of the Stooges, so I guess maybe it was inevitable that I didn't think much of this movie or the Stooges' kind of humor. Still, I'll admit it was fairly tolerable to watch, and there were indeed a few moments I found amusing.
