It had some good point and some bad. First is first, I felt this part does not stand very well on its own, unlike previous installments. On the other hand the knight-guy finally got a decent role written for him, and that was the best thing in the movie.
Unfortunately until the ending despite like three different group targeting our crew - one of them I though are the gods, but they were not - the road-movie setup felt lack of action, which is totally strange. I never minded the amateur sword-pairing, no. Things were just ... happening. Maybe they needed some breath between the encounter, I don't know. But the special effects were used totally perfect, especially for the Sliders-like budget. Really, that was the other thing I praise the installment. The goa'uld/jaffa at the end even worked adequately, although I'm not sure where he disappeared.
The ending pulled things up for me, despite some details being forgotten, like why the gunpowder on the airship why didn't blow up? How the characters got knowledge on the carriage? None thought the hummer looks pretty anachronistic? And how did that character at the end come back? Did the goddess finally revealed where the hammer is? But then there were details which weight for the good side, like Marek gaining a mage-robe instead of the apprentice-robe she previously wore. Or a trick with the knife while pairing (good stunt move). Or the viking with the two axe. Or the evolving of the world that the dwarf ex-adventurer bartender now gives them their quest.
It was fun, and had its place, but had the same mistakes like Two Tower of Lord of the Rings - on its behalf we must confess this one cost way less though.
All in all I'm glad they continued, and kept interest for the final part. Interesting decision that they wrote out Kevin Sorbo for it. But better start the franchise with one of the other films.
