[skip all the previous review and post this, might contain SPOILER]

(I didn't read the book, and only watch this because at that time no other movie to watch)

To me, this movie is really a sucks one and the story shouldn't "exist" at all.
How is it possible that "The son of the God of Messenger" can stole the Zeus's lightning bolt? And why Medusa and Hydra are alive where they been killed by Perseus and Hercules?

(If skip through the mythology) The movie started with a few fight/runaway scene, which probably made the audience impress (at first). The subsequent fight scene became not as good as the previous one (try compare the Hydra fight with Luke). This have made the movie became lost interest on later part...
It made me feel like this is just a typical Hollywood product, just that there is no sex scene.

I dont actually remember how. I guess he used the Helm of Darkness to be invisible and stole it under instuctions from Kronos. Also, being the son of Hermas, God of Messages, Travelers and Thieves he could have some other Hermes's godling powers.

But what I do know is that when Zeus realized the bolt is missing, he sent out all the gods to look for it, Ares finds Luke, and Luke persuade him by saying that the missing bolt would caused wars between the gods, and Ares wants war badly. He took the bolt for 'safekeeping'.
