The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption takes The Mummy phenomenon to an all-new level of epic action and non-stop adventure? Really? I think this is the same line a coworker used on me to make me want to rent this DVD on my blockbuster @home. I am still trying to figure out where the epic action and non stop adventure was. The three times I attempted to watch it I fell asleep 30 minutes in , the next night made it about 10 more minutes, and the third minutes I didn’t make it to where I was the first time. I don’t know if it was the acting or the adventure that put me to sleep quicker. I mean just one of the absolute worst movies I have ever rented in my life, I found more interesting movies streaming on the @home the next night and just sent that movie back without finishing it. They should have left the Scorpion King alone after the first one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your review of the film. I do not own this film, but your input may help someone else decide to view it or perhaps even avoid it altogether.
