So much average

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Good movie but grossly overrated

Absolutely Fantastic

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.

Terrible acting, cheesy dialogue, shallow characters, uninteresting plot, unrealistic fight scenes, and crappy special effects. No redeeming qualities, whatsoever. It doesn't even deserve to air as a Sci-Fi original movie.Do you know how Hollywood tends to ignore the Laws of Physics? This movie just took it to the next level. We see our heroes engage in fist-fights, fall from great heights, and fly out of catapults and afterward walk away completely unscathed. It turns out the "dragon" is a medieval-age mechanical construct powered by geothermal steam that could never have functioned in the way the movie portrays. The same goes for the old man's steam-powered mill.When we first see the lead female character in the dungeon, she was wearing a skimpy outfit. After escaping and deciding to join Mathyus on his possibly-dangerous quest, she changes into another skimpy outfit. That along with the cage match between her and another hot, scantily-clad woman, the scantily-clad acolytes of the female goddess, and the periodic sexual innuendos are blatant, pathetic attempts to keep the movie interesting for young male viewers.I feel like this movie insults its viewers' intelligence and I regret watching the whole thing, even though it was for free. One couldn't pay me to watch it again.

This movie has a lot of actors you've heard of in minor roles. Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner) Barry Bostwick, Michael Beihn (Aliens) and even Lou Ferigno (The Hulk). All of whom collected their booze money checks for being in a couple of scenes.You have the second "Obviously not The Rock" actor playing the Scorpion King in a bunch of sequences that are somewhere between failing to be serious action and not quite hitting parody slapstick.The plot paints in all the numbers for this kind of movie, with a checklist. Obscure clues being followed. Check. Clever traps being outwitted. Check. Mystical Artifact that deal bad consequences on the unworthy. Check. I give the most credit to Bostwick for trying to treat this material seriously when no one else was.I can't say it was horrible to watch. But I can't say it was good, either.

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.
