Stung by the Scorpion King 4: Quest for Power

Warning: Spoilers
Terrible acting, cheesy dialogue, shallow characters, uninteresting plot, unrealistic fight scenes, and crappy special effects. No redeeming qualities, whatsoever. It doesn't even deserve to air as a Sci-Fi original movie.

Do you know how Hollywood tends to ignore the Laws of Physics? This movie just took it to the next level. We see our heroes engage in fist-fights, fall from great heights, and fly out of catapults and afterward walk away completely unscathed. It turns out the "dragon" is a medieval-age mechanical construct powered by geothermal steam that could never have functioned in the way the movie portrays. The same goes for the old man's steam-powered mill.

When we first see the lead female character in the dungeon, she was wearing a skimpy outfit. After escaping and deciding to join Mathyus on his possibly-dangerous quest, she changes into another skimpy outfit. That along with the cage match between her and another hot, scantily-clad woman, the scantily-clad acolytes of the female goddess, and the periodic sexual innuendos are blatant, pathetic attempts to keep the movie interesting for young male viewers.

I feel like this movie insults its viewers' intelligence and I regret watching the whole thing, even though it was for free. One couldn't pay me to watch it again.
