The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption (2012)

Thanks for the memories!

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Since his rise to power, Mathayus' kingdom has fallen. Now an assassin for hire, he must defend a kingdom from an evil tyrant and his ghost warriors for the chance to regain the power and glory he once knew. The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption is a waste of actors, time, money, sets and pretty much the entire whole package. It looks stupid on cover and it's even worse once you actually see it plus if you loved the original 2002 film with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson? This looks like the Jaws 4 of the entire Franchise and i'm just being honest. (0/10)

Considering I didn't rate the big Hollywood blockbuster The Scorpion King (2002) I sure as hell didn't expect I'd think much of the straight to DVD sequels.The second surprised me and was actually really quite fun, a great take your brain out fantasy outing.This one, was closer in quality to the first but still better than you'd expect all things considered.Starring Ron Perlman, Billy Zane, Temuera Morrison, Kimbo Slice and Dave Bautista it's straight to DVD status is blatant but it's not entirely awful.Set after the 2002 outing it tells the story of our Scorpion King protagonist fallen on hard times and becoming a mercenary. Sadly The Rock by this point had become too big a star to return so Victor Webster stepped in. Now I do hate characters being recast but under the circumstances I think he did a decent enough job both in his performance and appearance.With an odd level of comedy Battle for Redemption delivers the goods to a degree but not the ones you'd be seeking from a movie like this. The fight sequences are poor, the story is cliched to hell and the likes of Perlman are barely on camera at all.Not bad, not good, just passable stuff.The Good:Couple of great charactersBilly ZaneSome surprisingly good comedyThe Bad:Selina LoAction scenes are underwhelmingI do hate recastingThings I Learnt From This Movie:This film is a sequel to a prequel to a prequel of a sequel of a remake (No seriously!)Last time I saw Olaf he was called Donald Gibb

I watched this movie at a pool party at my stepmother's place. She rented it from red box earlier in the day and let us watch it in the pool.Much of the action is live. Ron Perlman's character is a sleaze like usual. I noticed how much I despised his character. He reminds me so much of my king. My king is very cruel and unwise; slow to take a hint. I love the ending when Ron Perlman is pretty much just getting fisted by our heroes.My step mother asked me if I liked the movie. I said, "Very much. Thank you." I got out of the pool and dried off.

This is a sequel to the original Scorpion King with "The Rock". The actor they get to replace him does the job well enough.Other than that, it's a by the numbers sword and sorcery film with some okay characters and some all right acting. Nothing anyone is going to take home a Razzie or an Oscar for. Nothing in it really surprised me. There were no great plot twists. We find out that Jango Fett's daughter is actually hot after being led to believe she was homely.And big surprise, she was the leader of the warrior people in the forest.Hey, I checked the spoilers box... because if you didn't see this coming, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you.
