"The Scorpion King 4: Quest for Power" is the fourth of five instalments in the series, now direct to DVD, that was spun off from The Rock's cameo in "The Mummy Returns".

Victor Webster, most well-known for his appearances in a handful of Hallmark movies, is the only holdover from the last movie, returning as Mathayus. Ron Pearlman and Billy Zane are nowhere to be seen, which is a good thing, because the third one was not good.

The Scorpion King is betrayed by someone he thought was a friend and following that must team up with a beautiful woman (who, of course, has her own secrets) to stop the bad guy from gaining the ability to unlock a powerful ancient power that could see him rule the world.

Not the most original plot line, I know, but it does the trick in this instance. A lot of fighting, not much blood. Some differing acting: some okay, some horrible.

You get what you expect, more or less.

Passably entertaining.

'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.

Some of the Scorpion King movies try to be... sort of serious. And some try to be... sort of funny. This fourth movie combines Monty Python style British humor, with lots of pratfalls. The movie-maker tried for sexy, and didn't utterly fail. Seen on Tubi, the free streaming site; which has many low budget films, indie films, foreigns, and now, live TV.

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.
