"Scorpion King: The book of souls".
Watched English movie "Scorpion King: The book of souls".
This movie is directed by Doom Michael Paul. Produced by Mike Elliot. Written by David Alton Hedges, Frank DeJohn. Music by Frederik Wiedmann. Cinematography by Hein De Voss. It features Zach McGowan, Peter Mensah, Myling Ng, Pearl Thusi, Katy Louise Saunders, Nathan Jones, Howard Charles, Inge Beckmann. Film runs for about 1 hours 40 minutes and was released in 2008. I watched it on 14th July 2023 on Netflix with Aditi. This is the fifth movie in the series.
In ancient Egypt King Memtep had collaborated with God of underworld Anubis to create a sword that steals the souls of those it kills and their names are written in Book of Souls. Years later, Nebserek raids Memtep’s tomb and acquires the sword. Now he is invincible, but for the Scorpion King. Scorpion king is living as Blacksmith Mathayus. Tala, Princess of Nubia and Mathayus join forces and are joined by Enkidu and Amina.
It’s a strange story. Apart from his good physique, the Scorpion King doesn’t look anything special. Even in the fights he almost dies twice and then one more time. What was the objective of the character Enkidu? He hardly does anything special. It’s just a strange story. Characters are neither well thought, nor developed.
Movie creates more questions than answers. Why dodge Enkidu? How does he get out? Why does he jump into fire? Why is it necessary to destroy book of souls? Too many questions and not many answers.
Very unsatisfactory.
Positives: Umm…
Negatives: Almost everything.
AVOID.
