Yeah I knew it wasn't Oscar worthy but when miss Becker entered it became downright embarrassing, her attempt to sound and look seductive was cringe worthy at best. Miss Becker should rather not act at all

Not related to the first Scorpion King movie except by title, written and directed by Randall McCormick that has Mathayus (Michael Copon) seeking retribution on the sadistic ruler Sargon (Randy Couture) who murdered his father by means of black magic. He achieves this goal to retrieve a special kind of sword with the guidance from a well educated educator, Ari (Simon Quarterman) and from a childhood female friend who is also good with a sword, Layla (Karen David).

The second of the franchise, this one starring Randy Couture. While the story is formulaic and the acting is questionable for the most part, the most horrific CGI I have seen in awhile when it come to the large scorpion king during the climax. Just awful. Movie is watchable but for what I'm not quite sure.

Lackluster sandal action flick has not much to offer besides some production value, but is highly predictable - and forgettable

Perhaps the very first made-for-vid prequel to a spinoff from a sequel to a remake, The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior suggests a CW television network version of a swords-and-sorcery saga.

Lightly entertaining but forgettable B-actioner best described as JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS meets HERCULES: THE LEGENDARY JOURNEYS.

Rated: 2/5

Just maybe worthy of a bored afternoon, provided you're either A) 14 years old, or B) a longtime fan of the "quest" movies and you want something to poke a little fun at. (Or maybe not.)

Rated: 2.5/5
