The Akkadian Scorpion King Mathayus (Victor Webster) is back for part 4. This film is more akin to part 3 in that it is light and lends itself to camp and cliche instead of being a serious epic action film. Our warrior teams up with femme fatale Malina/ Sugarlove (Esmé Bianco) and her eccentric inventor father (Barry Bostwick) in order to find the legendary lost palace of Alcameda (?) while battling a rival king and his army, a dragon, and midgets. Feels like an Indian Jones film at times.The film is anachronistic, borrows modern phrases, and even employs swagger music. In the beginning a guy not hiding his Brooklyn accent (Lou Ferrigno) says, "No one steals from me." I am not sure how much of this type of thing was intentional or not. In any case it was funny and entertaining, but it wasn't sustained...like in Part 3.This is a film with no swearing, sex, or nudity. Suitable for the tweens.

When he is betrayed by a trusted friend, Mathayus must marshal all his strength and cunning to outwit a formidable opponent who will stop at nothing to unlock a supreme ancient power. The Scorpion King 4: The Lost Throne is no different than The Scorpion King 2 and 3 since it's just as bad as those 2 combined. Plus the little cameos from famous faces such as Rutger Hauer and Lou Ferrigno did not even needed to be in here. This movies don't understand what made the first one so fun and they just keep making them again and again with no stop. (0/10)

Awful, Awful, Awful............. I got what I expected - Scorpion King 4 was sh#thouse production at its crappiest. From combat that is more rehearsed than behind the scenes WWF, to the main character dressing in drag and the always present big cheesy one liners.(Some of these were surprisingly for mature ears "that better be a knife in your pocket" This movie has it all to make it one spectacular craptastic adventure. I could go on and on about the details of how awful this movie is but that would be like going through poo and identifying what type of food is in the poo - the acting, directing, fighting, SFX and dialogue is all brown and smelly.I am really surprised they got Universal to provide a budget for this film......I mean how many peps actually have heard of Scorpion King 3 let alone a 4th coming along. I am a fan of adventure films and swords and sandals type genre but this belongs to the genre called Sh*thouse. Definitely one to watch if you are really unwell(like moi) and cannot be bothered doing AnYTHING else!!! I suppose one benefit of watching this film was that it made spewing easier.

When 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.
