The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior is a dazzling prequel to the 2002 adventure movie The Scorpion King, the latter starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Mathayus, the warrior who takes on an evil army attacking his homeland. The Scorpion King 2 stars Michael Copon as a young Mathayus, who trains to become one of his king's warriors and then declares vengeance on the evil Sargon after the latter kills Mathayus' father. The hero's ascension as a noble fighter coincides with Sargon's usurping of the throne, leading Mathayus to seek a supernatural means to destroy him. His quest leads him to the infamous labyrinth in which the Minotaur feasts on men, and to the underworld itself, a horrifying place in which people become ensnared and die very slowly. Accompanied by a childhood friend-turned-warrior (Karen Shenaz David) and a philosopher-huckster (Simon Quarterman), Mathayus bravely but uncertainly battles through one obstacle after another to complete his journey. Directed by Australian filmmaker Russell Mulcahy (Resident Evil: Extinction), The Scorpion King 2 is a suspenseful and sometimes startling feature, with art direction and special effects that evoke the mysteries of ancient Greece and indeed make the underworld look like a most unearthly and nightmarish place.Read full review

This is a low budget, poorly made movie. You have to pay close attention to what is being said, and what is going on in the movie in order to follow the story, and that is what is important because, it does fill in a lot of the gaps that are in the first movie and helps you to understand what is going on. I would recommend getting this movie, but don't pay to much for it.
Unfortunately for the other movies in the "Mummy" series,aligning this with them is a travesty.A complete dud!Poor acting with dialog that is a laugh in itself.Action scenes are overdone in the stop/go/spin/kick genre that is prevelent in alot of A/A movies today.Story line is weak,disjointed & completely off the mark as far as the Scorpion King movie is concerned.Don't waste your hard earned money on this one.
This is really a great movie, continues the franchise of the Mummy and Scorpion King. It was a lot of fun. We took the DVD on a trip. I watched it, also my 9 year old - there's violence but it's very fantasy oriented and just a lot of old fashioned fun.
See how the legend of the Scorpion King began. When a young Mathayus witnesses his father's death at the hands of the king, his quest for vengeance transform him into the most feared warrior of the ancient world. This is a heroic adventure filled with heart-stopping action and thrilling visual effects. This is an excellent movie for all to see.
Didn't particularly care for this Scorpion King. It missed the mark by resembling a cross between Dungeons and Dragons,WWF on TV, and a commercial for AHH Bras. The acting was poor, scenery well done, and good choreography. If you like bodacious bods and board games, this might suit you. I much preferred Scorpion #1 and #3.
I see this is good, there are no foul words or foul languages which is very good. it also have closed caption. Not best as Mummy and Mummy Return but closer.
