A girl, hiding in a church, writes a letter to the police who, without evidence, raise a stink.
I couldn’t get half way through this. Not only do the various genres in this movie not interest me, but it highlights “listen and believe”. I fucking guarantee that’s why Emma Watson is in this.

The title is based on Regression (psychology)

A man.. uh.. something about some mercenary missions and people dying and a magic thing and such.
I only saw this out of reverence to The Scorpion King – (2002 movie). Oh gods, the badness-potential of this genre is astonishing. Ignore this, and go watch Hercules – The Legendary Journeys – (1995-1999 show) instead. It is the gold standard of badness.
I think what really offends me about The Scorpion King (2,3,4) is that they cost money to watch, where a TV show would have been (more or less) free.
- Properly titled The Scorpion King 4: Quest for Power
- Previously known as The Scorpion King: The Lost Throne
- Continues from The Scorpion King 3 – Battle for Redemption – (2012 movie)

This is the prequel closest to the movie The Scorpion King – (2002 movie), which is a preq– oh fuck, trying to explain all of that is ridiculous.

A bounty hunter hunts a bounty but there’s a princess therefore save the princess instead.
Oh god, this is like an episode of Hercules – The Legendary Journeys – (1995-1999 show). Old school TV-quality, reasonably fun for low expectations.
This is riding on the coat tails of the earlier actual-movie, desperately hoping that fans will consider all of this a “series”. Sigh, it is not.

This is a sequel to The Scorpion King 2 – Rise of a Warrior – (2008 movie), and technically still a prequil to The Scorpion King – (2002 movie) which is itself a prequil to The Mummy Returns – (2001 movie)..
- YOU ONLY GET ONE PREQUIL. This is insanity!

Continues with The Scorpion King 4 – Quest for Power – (2015 movie)

A kid swears revenge for his father’s unjust death, and has adventures and stuff along the way.
Fairly good for a TV-movie of this genre. I didn’t happen to particularly enjoy it myself, but it’ll appeal to people who can handle both this quality and genre together.
- Properly titled The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior
- This is supposed to be a further-prequel to The Scorpion King – (2002 movie) but it really isn’t. It has one character with the name.

(Unfortunately) continues with The Scorpion King 3 – Battle for Redemption – (2012 movie)

A king’s brother takes the throne, assuming his brother is assassinated, but that brother works to regain power.
An obvious storyline, with all the cheese of old movies. I’m sure this is fantabulous and all that, but it is dry intellectual-bubblegum, with corny comedy so bad it distracts from any chance of appreciation I might have of it.
I don’t know that this was inspired by a story in One Thousand and One Nights – (book), by various

Something about a sword that’s a greenish, and some people who fight and think fighting is cool because of honour and all that.
I also think there’s a Princess Leia/Luke Skywalker thing happening, but I was too distracted by the terrible mixing of accents.
Like superhero movies, this genre has completely worn out its welcome. I’m no longer interested in the same old shit, and even the attempts at story telling have become bland to me. Its scenery and music have become samey and aren’t going to make up for the lack of captivating characters and a solid story. Overused wire-jumps are not exciting. And stop with that screeching sound when swords are un/sheathed.

Meteors fall to earth, one of which survives and is seen to house a living creature by a local yokel.
Meh. For science fiction it’s barely okay, and as an actual movie it’s less than that. Good enough to recommend to bored half-fans of science fiction who want less science and more fiction.

Something about a coronation, a dragon, a prophesy, a paladin and probably some other stuff.
A solid story, executed well, but something about it seems off to me. Perhaps it’s a budget issue. I’d bet the high-budget films have spoiled things for the others. Recommended (only) for fantasy fiction enthusiasts.
