Best Hercules...The Rock VS Cutler VS Arnold?

[Canuck77]

Remember when Jay was getting into the action movie scene a few years back, he was rumoured to be the next Hercules, looks like Dwayne Johnson stole his role.

Since Cutler has never acted, Dwayne Johnson is likely the better choice, but based on looks/physique alone, who do you think is the best image of Hercules, The Rock, Cutler, Arnold or Lou?

EDIT: I added Lou as I was unaware he played the role until it was posted in the thread. Could not add him to the poll unfortunately.

Jay Cutler was rumored to be the next Hercules?

IMO Arnold is the best-looking Hercules.

The Rock looks like a Mexican drug lord.

Yeah, back around 2010 or so, there was talk on various boards that he was in the process of doing a deal on a Hercules movie.

lol re: The Rock, the long hair, just doesn't seem to work on him...

[handyman89]

I cant stand that breast plate the Rock is wearing... I think Arnold is the best Hercules

[lancs_hotpot]

Cutler is a lump and Arnie spoke like a retard. Rock aint the best but out of the three its him.

[bartosh]

the rock easily

[Unbiasedfan]

Arnie spoke like a retard.

Waaaa?

He has a great classic all american voice

[Iceman1981]

Best Hercules in my opinion is Steve Reeves. Nothing beats the original.

[RockyTheKid]

...and Arnie spoke like a retard.

Arnold's always been a fine actor!

[Canuck77]

lmfao...kung fu movie style...

I'm still in disbelief that someone cast the Rock to play a Greek god..he may have the body but he looks literally 0% Greek

[rippedaspirer]

For me the best Hercules will always be Lou Ferrigno..pound for pound he did the best justification to the role physique wise

Second this, he may workout n hours a day but compared to the yesteryear actors who portrayed Hercules, he has minimal overall size, less impressive overall.

Was actually unaware he played him...would have included him in the poll. Judging by the pics and overall look, I would tend to agree with you, he looks the best.

Strong design...lol.



IMO, Lou.

The Greek-God hair and beard, his size and height, and he had a harder look than Arnold, simply Heracles-like.

[Allers]

Strong design...lol.

Looks like a cheap prop recycled from the Rome TV show. Hopefully Herc takes it off a slain enemy who just happens to be a midget in the movie.


That photo looks like a Saturday Night Live sketch.

[Iceman1981]

I noticed that as well when I saw the trailer. It actually takes away from the Herculean physique. Stupid designers.

Saw the new film tonight, much better than I expected tbh.

The Rock did kinda stick out with the distinctive voice/yanky accent in amongst a load of typical "it's the past so everyone's English" accent and his dark skin surrounded by a load of very Nordic looking "Greeks", but it kinda worked seeing as he's portraying a legendary hero/mythical figure

same. regardless of whoever looks the part best, the rock played the part best imo

Pretty true about old times having everyone do a classic English accent! Seems to make it more real... and then I think wait there, it's fuking greece!


That breast plate tho, I think every bodybuilding fan picked up on that first before anything else lol tiny midget chest prop used for a guy whose actual chest is twice as low. The plate would have actually made him look better if it was a mould of his actual shape! Poor custume designer, fire that *******

other the lou... none of them look greek either...

tbh... its refreshing there are minorities playing main roles in white-centric culture films... considering that most films within minority culture has main roles as mostly white or the minorities have distinctly white features.

IMO, Lou.

Epic height, epic hairline/beard massive muscles, looks like he could lift a mountain and outrun a cheetah, physically imposing. just epic.

For me nobody can touch lou in this role.

[karljohnsontty]

TBH, I expected to see Kevin Sorbo (old school Hercules - not too aesthetic), Ryan Gosling (young Hercules series - not big enough for the role), and Kellan Lutz (The Legend of Hercules - early 2014 - most aesthetic in my opinion).

If these three were included, I'd say I'll pick Kellan Lutz.

But since we're talking about the latest movie, Then I'd go with Dwayne The Rock Johnson. The hair doesn't suit him though. In my opinion.

Strong quoting.

And the savages always have Geordie accents too.

Almost everyone in the film other than Rocky looked like they were from bloody Norway, it can't be THAT difficult to cast people who look at least vaguely Greek

you watch the "new" 300?

LOL

apparently its quite hard, but is a clear example of the mainstream way of casting I pointed out earlier.

[Canuck77]

Also, aside from the armour goof, seriously, millions of dollars in budget and they give him some cheap looking plate that has his abs starting at his armpits. But why the long hair? Traditionally, he had the short hair I'm pretty sure...

Badass...Saturday morning cartoons in the late 80's...dem retro feels...
