The Scorpion King: Book of Souls

Mathayus the Scorpion King, a character now played by an American Samoan, a Filipino German, a French Canadian, and a Jewish American (and seemingly getting smaller with each incarnation) is a ruler supposedly from Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq). Now I was never one to **demand** the nationality of the actor match that of the character (particularly one from so long ago that there is no way to be 100% certain exactly how said character may have looked). But it might be an idea to lock down a rough appearance to hold consistent throughout **your own franchise**. _Book of Souls_ purports to be the final entry in this very loose series of _The Mummy Returns_ spinoffs. If they had continued in the vain of the third entry, that's something I might be sad about, alas, these last two entries have decided to once again take the absurd _Scorpion King_ premise seriously (_Book of Souls_ admittedly less so, but still far too much to really get into). Pretty cool ending credits animation though. _Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._
