Genre: Action/Adventure/Thriller/Fantasy
Starring: Michael Copon, Karen Shenaz David, Simon Quarterman, Randy Couture
After The Scorpion King, its successor goes back into a second flashback, narrating the childhood of the Scorpion King's childhood. A young Mathayus (Copon), dreams of becoming a part of the Black Scorpions, the most elite rank of soldiers serving the Emperor of Akkad. His trainer Sargon (Couture) takes a dislike for him, and his friend Layla (David), both who aspire to join the ranks. Years later when they finally graduate, Sargon becomes emperor by forming a coup, and murders Mathayus' brother with charges of spreading false rumours against him. Layla and Mathayus escape to Egypt, and befriend an explorer Ari (Quarterman). The trio, along with some mercenaries decide to steal a sword from the goddess Lady of Astrate, and take revenge from Sargon. With every passing movie, The Scorpion King series of movies is only losing its focus and link to The Mummy series, which it is a part of. The story takes into account too much of fantasy and less of reality and logic, to narrate an age old story in no particularly different manner. Less said the better.
Rating: 4.1/10
