Le Roi Scorpion : La Quête du pouvoir

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.

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.

You can change actors but the result is still horrible, worse and worse. Steroids, bad dialogues, annoying rethoric, weak plot. Just commercial machist poor movie. As the other chapters it can make you reevaluate The Rock: it doesn't need anything else to say.

This adventure again deals with Mathayus (Victor Webster who did most of his own stunts) who his betrayed by his friend Drazen (Will Kemp) . Mathayus is assigned by king Zakkour (Rutger Hauer) to quest for peace with another ruler (Michael Biehn) , whose son results to be the former friend who double-crossed him. Mathayus is incarcerated , but along with an imprisoned princess called Valina (Ellen Hollman) escape jumping from the walls an impressive fortress . Then , Mathausis relentlessly pursued by the army of the entire kingdom , being accused for killing a king, while looking for a strange artifact that unleashes a dark power.

Sword and Fantasy film with fights , battles , pursuits and touches of humor and irony . The film The Scorpion King the lost throne (2015) with good cast as Webster , Will Kemp , Lou Ferrigno , Barry Botwick ,wresler Eve Torres turns out to be more a sequel to third part Battle for redemption (2012) by Roel Reine with Webster , Ron Perlman , Billy Zane , westler Dave Bautista than the first and original Scorpion King (2002) by Stephen Sommers with WWE westler The Rock Dwayne Johnson, Kelli Hu ,Bernard Hill, Steven Brand , Grant Heslov. While the second part The rise of warrior (2008) by Russell Mulcahy with Michael Copon , Karen David , Tom Wu , westler Randy Couture is more a prequel to the original, first and best film .This entertaining film contains a fun and amusing relationship between two starring : Victor Webster and and Ellen Hollman. Here Victor Webster repeats his role , being the first actor in the franchise to return his character as Malthayus . The picture benefits itself from a sympathetic and enjoyable support cast , such as : the ex-Hulk Lou Ferrigno , WWE westler Eve Torres , veteran Martial art expert Don Dragon Wilson , Michael Biehn , Barry Bostwick as a nutty wise and special and brief appearance from Rutger Hauer in one of his last ones .

The motion picture was professional ,but with no originality , made by Mike Elliott , following the wake of the third part . Elliott is a prolific producer who has financed a lot of films , usually B-movies, such as : Manhunt , Black Scorpion , Hit the floor , Detonator , Santa Girl, Woody Woodpicker , Dangerous waters , Automation and many others . And he has directed a few films as November rule, A warden's ransom, American pie girls' rule , Bethoven's big break . Rating : 4.5/10 . Inferior sequel. Only for The Scorpion King Saga fans

'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.
