Best part of story, including ending:
I liked the previous movie 'The Scorpion King'. So I need to watch this second part based on the childhood of the scorpion king. Well written but could have been better.
Best scene in story:
When Mathayus fights with the Sargon and Sargon turns into a giant scorpion.
Opinion about the main character:
The character of Mathayus is full of mercy and bravery. A perfect character every king should have.
