r96 s 'The Scorpion King 4: Quest for Power', quite literally, continues the downward spiral of this spin-off series. This one does one or two things to a mildly OK level, though all in all it is a slog to sit through. The previous one at least had a small spark to it, this is just boring. This fourth entry does at least have the same lead as its predecessor, which is a first for these movies. It is sod's law that they actually do so when I wasn't too keen on the actor, in this case Victor Webster. He is, admittedly, the best part of this 2015 flick, not that that is saying much. Ellen Hollman is alright beside Webster, they have some onscreen chemistry to be fair. Barry Bostwick and Rutger Hauer make for known faces that appear, whilst I also noticed Leigh Gill (aka Gary Puddles) and Esmé Bianco (aka Ros). I do like how random these cast lists get. A bit more of an entertainment factor, albeit rather unsuccessful à la the previous few installments, then this wouldn't be far adrift of the Ron Perlman and Billy Zane entry. As it is, though, it's far too dull.

Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review victor o I got to say that I was a fan of the first two Mummy movies and then of course its magnificent spin-off The Scorpion King. But times change and the studio that made those great movies stopped working hard to generate a success but they still want money so they got lazy and sent movies straight to home video. Almost immediately I knew not to check out any of the movies that came afterward. Mummy 3 was nothing without the original Egyptian setting and lead actress, and a prequel without the Rock was out of the question for Scorpion King 2 or its sequel Scorpion King 3. But I saw the trailer for this movie and I couldn't resist. All the gorgeous girls, action and sets were made to be viewed by the eager. However, the story is terrible. Not having seen Scorpion King 2 or 3 it took me a while to understand what was going on. Everything great with Scorpion King vanished, from his kingdom, his wife, and the great actor that portrayed him. The mighty Akkadian warrior continues to fight as a mercenary as he did before as he fights the good fight obtaining several McGuffins that lead to a great power coveted by a powerful kingdom while the warrior is assisted by a lovely princess out to claim the kingdom that was stolen from her and her father. I have to admit the story had potential as it attempts to replicate some of the key traits of the original. Action, adventure, well-timed comedy, lovely women, great effects, and a phenomenal story. Unfortunately, only some of that makes it in here as I still remember how great The Rock was in the Mummy 2 and the first Scorpion King movie. Victor Webster tries but it does not matter what your name is unless you are The Rock. Will Kemp does a satisfactory job as a villain, but I still see him as Prince Velkan from Van Helsing. The actresses are gorgeous, but they are terrible, the same as the comedy and the effects are okay but not great. Never again, unless the Rock comes back.
