Good concept, poorly executed.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Well, what a rotten way to end Sequel Month with the umpteenth bad sequel. It's again, a shame because "For A Few Dollars More" was so good. This movie features Mathayus teaming up with this obnoxious guy named Olaf to save a kingdom. The villains are led by a guy named Cobra. That reminds me that I would much rather be watching "G. I. Joe". This movie is mostly just fight scene after fight scene.There's some talk and then more fight scenes. Movies like "Avengers: Infinity War" are so much better with how creative the non stop action is. Everyone just has unique costumes and designs and we've spent so much time building up the characterizations. I barely even remember the second movie at all, so maybe it's my fault for not paying attention. Hey, it's June. You know what that means, Comedy Month! *1/2

Watching the previous movies created some level of expectation. Regrettably this film doesn't meet up to any of them. The story seems to contain weird gaps and the whole setting looks like they plundered a store with costumes for carnivals. In the same army there are Indian looking soldiers along with Roman legionnaires. Also they should've fired the editor and director. Filming a fight from 2 sides and in the middle of the jump the persons change position! The only thing worth looking at is Krystal Vee, since she is quite an attractive girl and she throws in some girl power. However, her role is very unrealistic. All in all, not a film to put on your want-list.

Take one badass king that has given up his title and still wants to make a living as a mercenary, and a bumbling fool that is as strong as an ox and you have a match made in heaven. These two are sent by their king to free a realm in exchange for gold; only the gold has been taken for military spending and a king's daughter is offered in exchange instead. Once the former king and his comrade head for yet another encampment things just get weird. Not only does the story have a plot, within a plot, within a plot, it features mongoloids, elephants, several rival armies, ninja, and even demon warriors from the land of the dead. Keep in mind, this has nothing to do with the heroes of the story, they are merely caught up within the works and taking care of business. This movie goes in so many directions, but if the word epic were to come into play, this movie puts the word and it's use to shame. I recommend this movie, especially for the comedy that often ensues.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/?p=3460).

The film is so promising. It has some good actors and continues the Mummy /Scorpion King Franchise. Or so I thought. This screenplay is weak. It has cardboard characters, clichés, and anachronisms. Its plot is uneven. It's as if the screenwriters couldn't decide on the genre. Fantasy? Mythology? Comedy? Adventure? I soon lost interest. I was disappointed with the third Mummy movie, but it was Oscar material compared to this. Don't watch this movie expecting it to have anything to do with the original Scorpion King. Read the other reviews for more information. I can only wonder what Ron Perlman, Billy Zane, etc. were thinking when they signed on for this movie.
