Movie Review: Scorpion King 2

Scorpion King 2 plays off of it's heritage from the first movie and the Mummy Trilogy. Although it deviates a great deal from the plot of the other four movies, it does have a similar thematic qualities that made the first Scorpion King popular. The plot line completely deviates from the original, it shares nothing in common except the world in which it takes place. It is also disappointing that the protagonist does not become the next scorpion king. Instead he is relegated to reluctant hero. If you enjoy a well made action flick then you will enjoy this, but if you were looking for something more, then you may be disappointed.
