A really lousy movie! Its not a action movie, its a really dreadful awfull actioncomedy. The worst of all Scorpion King movies. Stay away from this movie if you want to spend your time on something usefull.. Really, its more fun to watch grass grow!
... View MoreWhen my friend mentioned to me there was a Scorpion King 4, he said this was a Nanar, which is a french word they use in France, with the equivalent in English that could be "movies there so bad there good" but at the same time, its not exactly that.First of all the movie is made to be an action adventure comedy, with a huge emphasis on comedy. Its been so long i have not seen the first Scorpion King with Dwayne Johnson, i can't remember exactly but i am sure it was not that "on the comedy aspect" if i can say.It seem the cast just had fun with this one, its almost like watching a Disney cartoon with real persons. If you can remember Hercules the Legendary Journeys with Kevin Sorbo, well this is close to that.So could we really call it a "Nanar"? Not really cause it seem they really knew what they wanted to do and they did just that. Honestly i had fun watching it, the characters where cool, and sure at times i was like "oh common really?" but always with a smile. Its just a good family fun time.Just don't expect anything serious and you should enjoy it.

When they find it Mathauys is shocked at the double cross and is left to escape on his own. He meets up with Valina (Hollman) and along with her father they team up to try and retrieve the crystal and stop his partner from obtaining an ancient power that is dangerous in the wrong hands. Before I start I have to give you my history with this series. I thought the first Mummy was OK but wasn't really a fan of the others. I was also not a big fan of any of the Scorpion King spinoffs but I did think that The Rock was a good choice to play him. The second and third one tried too hard to be like the original but with a limited budget and very limited acting ability they ended up just being boring and unexciting. With this movie they changed things up...a little too much. This movie felt like a cheesy version of the Hercules series with Kevin Sorbo...if you have seen that show then when I say this is cheesier than that one you may not believe me. After you watch the scene where Valina's father dresses like a chicken and tries to fly, or when Mathayus dresses like a woman to get into a temple you will believe me. Overall, just not good...at all. On the other hand it is a movie that you can watch and make fun of, for a while. I give it a D+.
... View MoreThe negative reviews for this film abound. It seems most are comparing it to the first Scorpion King, with "The Rock." Admittedly, the three that have thus far followed it aren't nearly of the same quality. But if you put that aside and just take it for what it is, it's a fun film, with some wit and levity that even had me chuckle out loud a couple of times. It wasn't full of gratuitous sex or vulgarity. It's just a fun action adventure popcorn movie. It will not rank among the best movies of all time nor is it trying to do so. I had just returned from another 7-hour chemotherapy session and this film hit the spot: Brainless and fun entertainment. If you just take it for what it is, I hope you'll enjoy Scorpion King 4 as much as I did.
