Storyline

Double-crossed by a good friend during a dangerous quest to retrieve the Urn of Kings, a rare artefact that unleashes the ancient power of the sorcerer, Lord Alcaman, Mathayus sets out on a journey to the kingdom of Norvania to deliver a peace treaty. Instead, the Akkadian warrior finds himself wrongfully accused of murder, with the soldiers of an entire kingdom after him. Now, Mathayus must rely on his skills and his only allies, the fellow prisoner, Valina, and her inventor father, Sorrell, to escape from the hostile realm in one piece. Is the Scorpion King capable of stopping the dark warlock's magical force?

User Reviews

Take it for what it is

The 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.
