'The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior' kept me interested for longer than I thought it would, though in the end it is a film to forget. For what it is, a low-budget and low-quality flick, it isn't absolutely terrible, at least not in my opinion. It's cheesy and illogical, yet almost entertains. Michael Copon is a decent choice for his role, as are Karen David (Grace Mukherjee to me), Randy Couture and Simon Quarterman. None of them show off any standout acting and I likely won't remember them from this, but they do help stop the 109 minutes from hitting the rocks. Overall, I didn't like this one. It didn't overly bother me either, though.

Forget this one. It is just crap.

Appallingly bad, _The Scorpion King: Rise of a Warrior_ is unwatchable garbage. A prequel, the film follows a young Mathayus as he goes on a quest to the underworld to get a mystical weapon that will allow him to kill the sorcerer who murdered his father. The acting is horrendously bad; especially Karen David who chews the scenery and is annoying as all get-out. Additionally, the sets look incredibly cheap and the CGI is terrible. And, the plot couldn’t be more formulaic and clichéd. _The Scorpion King: Rise of a Warrior_ is an abysmal film that has virtually nothing to do with the original.
