To be honest, this production could have only just held its head above the B. Luckily its head is safe, despite a low budget. Brilliant casting, with stars from Black Sails and Spartacus continuing in similar sword-fighting roles. Plenty of muscle, beautiful strong and magical women, flying in the air fights and a really crazy huge original offsider (possibly a stand out here). The plot was faithful to the genre and the franchise. Not too many effects but tastefully done (this is not Gods of Egypt). This is probably the best Scorpion I've seen, great for teenagers (though there is quite a lot of killing though not much blood), or fantastic for a Saturday arvo lazy if you are into fantasy.
