Super Awful Movie Night. A classic gem. So there we were, cruising through blockbuster, when we stumbled upon, what might arguably be, one of the most influential monumental achievements in recent film making history. Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior. How they came up with a marvelous title like that, One could fathom for the rest of his life. I don't know what sold it to me more, the incredible choreography during the fight scenes or the very complex, intricate storyline, full of twists and turns carefully execute with Randy Couture's superb acting (You know, he won the light heavyweight title at UFC 44 by defeating Tito Ortiz).
I lost myself between the compelling powerpoint transition effects (the wipes). I believe the characterization between Mathayus and Layla was one that rivals Casablanca. Every witty anecdote by the Poet (not scribe, mind you) was hilarious, and definitely added to the comedic humor. The stunt sequences were mind blowing, not to mention the appropriately injected slow motion sequences, with some of the finest CGI that has ever graced cinematic history (The Invisible Scorpion).
My only complain about the movie was that it Didn't see a big Screen release.
