The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior (2010)

This film wasn't quite the same as the first Scorpion King, maybe because it didn't have any pro wrestlers in starring roles. Randy Couture is no Dwayne Johnson. Couture is not a great actor, but he delivered his lines clearly and articulately and can certainly handle himself physically.
The first part of this film and the last part reminded me of the Scorpion King if it had been the Prince of Persia, but not a good kind of hybrid. The middle part was pretty much Percy Jackson and the Scorpion King, isn't that the fourth book in the new series?
The three main characters are all rather young and so were the actors that played them. Nothing wrong with that, just thought I'd mention it as that is part of what led to a feel of Percy Jackson-ness. Really, what this movie could have used was some Peter Jackson-ness, but couldn't most fantasy movies? I would watch this group again in the Scorpion King 3, and from the way they end it, I likely will.
If this were to be a better movie, well first you would need a better script, but you could also stick in a tried-and-true veteran actor into the mix so the young actors would have someone to compare to and hopefully live up to. Also, I would move out of the range of PG-13 into R, or at least be the PG-13 that has more graphic violence and some brief nudity. I hate to say this, hell, I hate to even think this, but if this film was more Michael Bey and less straight-to-video, it would have been a better film. Now I feel dirty.
