The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption

Rate

A handful of years after giving Mathayus the prophecy that his peaceful kingdom wouldn’t last forever, Cassandra dies. Mathayus allows his kingdom to fall apart in the aftermath of the deadly plague which claimed his wife’s life and he believes his reign of nobility to be over. Mathayus then becomes a mercenary once more, just as he was prior to his war with Memnon. The younger brother of Horus, a powerful king of Egypt, is Talus, and he wishes to conquer his brother’s kingdom since Horus was made king over him. In order to do so, Talus, along with his army, goes to the Far East to steal the ”Book of the Dead” from Ramusan, a king who is an ally of Horus. To stop Talus, Horus hires Mathayus and pairs him with the Teutons warrior Olaf.

'The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption' is rubbish, but it kinda falls under 'good bad movie'. I say that because there isn't anything I can praise about this, yet I didn't feel any annoyance towards the film whilst watching it; the limp ending tested that, mind. The appearances of Ron Perlman and Billy Zane are, strictly due to who they are as actors, interesting, though their characters are rather lame; still, I would've dug a movie properly about those two. Victor Webster and Bostin Christopher, meanwhile, are unfortunately terrible. They aren't helped by the unfunny humour. Webster minorly looks the part, but his acting isn't up to scratch. Christopher's character is annoying, he is just burps and not much else. If you squint your eyes and block your ears, you may be able to soothe those issues and trick your brain into seeing Henry Cavill and Jack Black. I will say that that one scene where a ninja launches out of a lake and directly kicks a man relieving his bladder (yes, really) is pretty great though. Oh, and Dave Bautista is in this too, that's something...

Our stand in Scorpion King certainly does not have the presence of The Rock, but the franchise finally finds its place in the world: Being fucking ridiculous. I mean, what a cast! And those awful one-liners? Delivered with such enthusiasm, and after almost every strike! Incredible. _Final rating:½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
