Travel back to the beginning and watch as a legend is born in this prequel to The Scorpion King from Highlander and Resident Evil: Extinction director Russell Mulcahy. 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 transforms him into the most feared warrior of the ancient world.
Just maybe worthy of a bored afternoon, provided you're either A) 14 years old, or B) a longtime fan of the "quest" movies and you want something to poke a little fun at. (Or maybe not.)
Lightly entertaining but forgettable B-actioner best described as JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS meets HERCULES: THE LEGENDARY JOURNEYS.

Cutting to the chase: 'Scorpion King 2: Rise of the Warrior' is a pleasant surprise, and well worth a look for fans of the genre and admirers of filmmakers who can do a lot with a little.
Perhaps the very first made-for-vid prequel to a spinoff from a sequel to a remake, The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior suggests a CW television network version of a swords-and-sorcery saga.
