Looking more rugged but just as muscular as he did in his Tarzan years, Gordon Scott makes a robust Hercules. What's unusual in this movie (actually a busted TV pilot, as the 45-minute length already indicates) is that he has not one, but two sidekicks - one of them the philosopher/scientist Diogenes. There is a fair amount of action, and the sea monster - the non-human baddie of the show, there is also a human throne usurper - looks mechanical but acceptable. **1/2 out of 4.
