Default 'The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior' - High-Def Digest Review

Kenneth has review 'The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior.' He hated it. This Blu-ray has unattractive, problematic video, okay audio, and drops all of the supplements seen on the standard DVD. Skip this one.

Full review here:

Oh come now, this can't be that bad. It was shot in high def for God's sake. It has to be at least a mid level transfer which would make it better than anything that's been remastered.

I actually though the video/audio were slightly better. Good read though.

I think the reviewer too it way too easy on this one. Movies should be able to receive negative star reviews.

Another "Direct to DVD" disaster. There are SO MANY catalog titles wanted, why do they waste thier time on these crappy DVD titles?

I rented this when it first came out, and I agree with the review completely. The movie is just bad, horrible story, cheezy effects, sub par performances by unknown actors. Stay as far away as possible from this disaster. Too bad, for I actually liked the original.

To funny. Picked it up as an impulse buy for 14.99 at BB plus. Glad I had an addition 10% off plus a $5 coupon and probably still didnt even get my monies worth.

Oh well hope lots of harvest moon beer makes this more enjoyable.

This movie rox. Better than Starship Trooper 3, One Missed Call (a bigger Hollywood production), and Meet the Spartans.

i didnt mind the 1st but if the reviewer says it really is that bad then there is little point getting it.... not when there are hundreds of other decent titles that need to be purchased .
