<em>'The Scorpion King 4: Quest for Power'</em>, quite literally, continues the downward spiral of this spin-off series. This one does one or two things to a mildly OK level, though all in all it is a slog to sit through. The previous one at least had a small spark to it, this is just boring. This fourth entry does at least have the same lead as its predecessor, which is a first for these movies. It is sod's law that they actually do so when I wasn't too keen on the actor, in this case Victor Webster. He is, admittedly, the best part of this 2015 flick, not that that is saying much. Ellen Hollman is alright beside Webster, they have some onscreen chemistry to be fair. Barry Bostwick and Rutger Hauer make for known faces that appear, whilst I also noticed Leigh Gill (aka Gary Puddles) and Esmé Bianco (aka Ros). I do like how random these cast lists get. A bit more of an entertainment factor, albeit rather unsuccessful à la the previous few installments, then this wouldn't be far adrift of the Ron Perlman and Billy Zane entry. As it is, though, it's far too dull.

The first time a _Scorpion King_ movie has managed to keep hold of its lead actor, and this time around, Mathayus, the Canadian King of Asiegypt, teams up with Chicken Man, Cosplay Enthusiast and Mute Viking to traipse around 3000BC medieval England, using magic to disprove the existence of magic. Worried that the cast of _Quest for Power_ doesn't quite live up to the last entry? Fear not, for Lou Ferrigno and Rutger Hauer will show up briefly in the first five minutes and then be added into the closing credits in post-production! Michael Biehn will be unrecognisable in a completely disposable role he holds for all of two scenes! Even the guy who plays the role of Tyrion Lannister makes an appearance! Wait, sorry, I misread that. The guy who plays the role of the guy who plays the role of Tyrion Lannister in that one play that takes place in a different continent for a small part of a couple of episodes in season 6, makes an appearance. At the end of the day, _Scorpion King 4_ cannot muster the action of the first entry or the humour of the third, but hey, at least it's not the second one. _Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._
