Nishi Reviews: Scorpion King 3
0Reading out my written review for Scorpion King 3
Written Review:
I loved the Mummy movies, thought the original Scorpion King wasn’t bad, this movie doesn’t really live up to the previous movies. The basic idea is that he ends up being a hired mercenary for hire, which takes a suicide mission for a ton of gold if he succeeds. The movie ends up being predictable at the key moments, but the fighting is cool.
Whoever they hired to create the CG for this movie certainly tried, but ultimately failed as the CG is pretty bad. At the start you see a city where you can clearly make out the art background (You see dried chipped paint) which takes you right out of the movie. Another instance is where you see a prosthetic on someone that is so clearly fake which makes you think who was behind the scenes making these things.
Only the few key people in the story had ok acting (Ron Pearlman had good acting, which makes me wonder why he choose to work for this movie), but for the most part you felt like they were trying too hard to be the parts and not feel out the characters and become one with them. It’s not enough to take you out of the movie (enough of that already), but still sub par for a movie that has ties to the Mummy.
The fighting was really only the cool parts in this movie. Most of it is pretty cheesy, but it’s by no means hard to watch. I say only buy this movie if it ends up in the five dollar bin, and maybe think about it if it happens to be 10 dollars. I wouldn’t want you wasting anything past ten dollars on this sub par movie.
