If The Scorpion King hit the spot, these will too

Two things both keep coming back to: sword fight and fictional war
The difference: Reviewed even better

The same preoccupation in both: magic
The difference: 20 years apart, and the 1980s show

One thread runs through both: magic

Both keep coming back to the same thing: egypt

Kinetic and epic in the same breath

Common ground: spin off

Common ground in both: desert and ancient egypt

Both are built on the same subject: spin off

Action with a pulse of dream logic, in both cases

Both lean on momentum more than on adventure

Fantasy built on scale, twice over

Dreamlike action, and it commits to that
The difference: Leans harder into history than The Scorpion King does
In the mood for more kinetic?
