The Scorpion King 4: Quest for Power [DVD]

Why the main star Victor Webster has received second billing to cameo performances by Lou Ferrigno in this 4th Scorpion King installment & second billing to supporting actor's in his first portrayal of the Scorpion King in the 3rd franchise installment is a bit insulting! His acting is as good as any actor to play the Scorpion king including "The Rock". The Scorpion King grew from a poorly rendered C.G.I. effect in the Mummy franchise resurrected to fight the Mummy into a successful franchise of its own. This 4th installment in the franchise has all the fun & adventure as its predecessors, not slowing in pace or suffering from a worn out story line. These movies are not made with Oscars in mind they are geared towards fun escapist fantasy & in that this movie certainly delivers. From the 1st movie to the 2cnd origins tale we see the adventure slash comic relief formula that makes these Sword & Sorcery action films so much fun continued in the 3rd & "The Scorpion King 4: Quest for Power". But I don't find fault in formulated movie's...hey its worked for James Bond for decades! If your as big a fan of the Sword & Sorcery genre as I am I think you will be happy to add this to your collection. I don't judge movies on their given budgets rather their ability to entertain on said budget & I feel that every one of the movies in the Scorpion King franchise doe's the job quite nicely. So many films in the genre come from literature its kind of cool to see a new character created purely by Hollywood. While there is violence in this movie the comic relief keeps it from getting to dark but not so comic that the movie feels campy, I've actually seen a lot bloodier westerns. While its nice to see cameo's by endearing actors like Lou Ferrigno I still find it insulting that his billing is higher than the main character when his screen time is less than 5 minutes with roughly that many spoken words!!! Its also nice to see that these movies promote good morality lessons for the most part. Basically by todays standards this & the other films in the franchise are family friendly. You see much more graphic violence on T.V. series these days as well as blatant sexual themes that are definitely not appropriate for children! I am not a prude but animated shows on T.V. today are deliberately perverting morality for laughs & most parents aren't vetting animated T.V. because they grew up in a time that you didn't have to worry about that kind of subversion. Well I guess I am getting off task, but if your not a armchair critic & like a little escapist fantasy on rainy days this movie will provide you with just that. I will say I saw a review stating the storyline was totally unbelievable, apparently this person wasn't aware of how tenaciously Hitler sought out religious relics believing they would give him a edge in war, so the storyline is not so far fetched. Other than that I enjoyed this persons review & their analogies to cartoon characters was spot on.

Graphics a little cheesy!

Different but this is meant to be more of action, adventure, and comedy I believe. It's not bad

I like this movie!

Last night I watched Scorpion 3 and tonight I tried to watch & paid for Scorpion 4 only to find out they were the same movie. I believe I should get a credit being that they are both the same movie.

Fun, action packed & entertaining! Doesn't take it's self too seriously which works in it's favour! Suitible for older children & tweens. Has iconic actors in cameo roles and a very underrated, under publicized, main cast who do a great job of keeping the story and their characters alive and engaging!

Worst movie ever, sub par acting, looks like they went to some park and started shooting a movie. The only person famous is Luis Ferrigno aka Original Hulk. Plot there was none. This really has nothing to do with the original movies their just using the name to get people to watch and buy this movie. ( Hum guess that worked ) This is a rent movie that you'll never want to own.

This sexy blu-ray came brand new and as described!

il me manquait ce film à ma collection étant donné que j avais tous les autres et je l ai visionné tout est parfait, je suis satisfaite de mon produit

Trop bien j'ai adoré.

Contrairement au second volait dans lequel on est en droit de se demander si les scénaristes ont réfléchi, ce volet n'a rein avoir avec le premier mais possède une bonne histoire.

I have watched the other three ones and although the last one is different, and some people told me it was not as good, I have to disagree with them. The last one contains maybe less action and bloody battles, but in my opinion, it has much more to offer as a fairy tale and yes it's different, but I find it as nice as the others, maybe better in a more fantastic way...

I must say, i am a fan of B-grade films, and i approached this one fully expecting it to be rather rubbish. I couldn't have been more wrong! Whilst this isn't a big budget movie, it still looks the part, with good camera work and directing. The transfer to Blu-ray is great, with sharp details and minimal artefacts like banding and noise.What sets this move apart from the other three Scorpion Kings is that it has tongue-in-cheek humour throughout. It knows that it's a casual fun romp, and it plays to it's strengths. Our two main protagonists, Mathayus, played by sixpack-owning Victor Webster, and Valina, played by the lower tummy-exposing Ellen Hollman do a fantastic job with acting duties. They meet up with various characters during their travels, but they carry the movie wonderfully.This film is reminiscent of a PG version of "Your Highness", so if you liked that, you'll love this. See it, if only for Ellen Hollman's beauty and her goddess-tier lower midriff!
