Brett Ratner's 'Hercules' is actually entertaining in places

Frat-boyish filmmaker Brett Ratner has the distinction of having made the worst "X-Men" film ("X-Men: The Last Stand"), the dumbest Hannibal Lecter tale ("Red Dragon"), and the most boring "Rush Hour" sequel. That's unfair: Having cranked out all three "Rush Hour" films, Ratner also made the least boring one. But if future film scholars ever chronicle the Great Hercules Boom of 2014, they are likely to credit him with the best of the bunch.
