The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Why did this get a 4.2. It is a great movie. It has a lot of action. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. The Scorpion King is better. The Scorpion King 2 rise of a warrior is better. The Scorpion King 3 battle of redemption is also better. But still this is a great movie. I give it 7 out of 10. 4.2 is underrating. This is an awesome movie. I do not know why would not like it. There do have to like. But if you like good fantasy movies you should see this movie. It is one of the best fantasy movie from 2015. It is a very scary movie. See it. It is a great movie. I need more line and I am running out of thing to say.

Awful, Awful, Awful............. I got what I expected - Scorpion King 4 was sh#thouse production at its crappiest. From combat that is more rehearsed than behind the scenes WWF, to the main character dressing in drag and the always present big cheesy one liners.(Some of these were surprisingly for mature ears "that better be a knife in your pocket" This movie has it all to make it one spectacular craptastic adventure. I could go on and on about the details of how awful this movie is but that would be like going through poo and identifying what type of food is in the poo - the acting, directing, fighting, SFX and dialogue is all brown and smelly.I am really surprised they got Universal to provide a budget for this film......I mean how many peps actually have heard of Scorpion King 3 let alone a 4th coming along. I am a fan of adventure films and swords and sandals type genre but this belongs to the genre called Sh*thouse. Definitely one to watch if you are really unwell(like moi) and cannot be bothered doing AnYTHING else!!! I suppose one benefit of watching this film was that it made spewing easier.

... the actors are having fun and you could also have some. Kind of of course. I mean you can only shake your head at the "Dragon" of the movie. It's ridiculous beyond any words I could muster to write here. Yes it is low budget (though still under the Universal banner!?), but even Harryhausen made more believable "monsters".Anyway back to the actors, the female lead known for her role in Spartacus (at least to me) is obviously playing it for laughs and has some funny lines to say. The action sequences are not really good, but I've seen worse. Actually there is a decent stunt scene thrown into the mix here and there. If you are in the right frame of mind (and maybe like the people involved), there is fun you can have

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.
