Dwayne Johnson looking off into the distance in Hercules
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Historian Dr. Roel Konijnendijk appraises the historical accuracy of the 2014 action adventure movie Hercules. Starring Dwayne Johnson as the titular character, this fantasy feature film follows a troubled demigod who is hired to confront an evil warlord along with his assembled band of mercenaries.
This is an interesting little scene. I mean the whole point of this battle scene is that Hercules has supposedly been training this army, updating their equipment, and now it is a much more effective force because of his leadership andhis good tactical ideas. The way that they tried to portray that is that as it moves into combat, it is able to respond to certain commands, is able to act much more cohesively, and is able to form a very strong shield wall against the enemy.
By getting your troops that are marching in a column to slot in, one, next to each other as files. Every file that comes up down the road or every two or three or four files that come up down the road will march to the right or to the left usually of the one that’s already in place and so brick by brick you build up your infantry line. And so you just don’t take the sides of that formation and turn them out like wings and make them form a part of your battle line.
How Was Hercules Received Upon Release?
