After completing his training he is tasked by Sargon to kill Noah , Mathayus 's own brother . He saves him and escapes the city , but a magic arrow follows them and kills Noah . Mathayus boards a ship to Egypt , accompanied by his childhood friend Layla . He intends to get the Spear of Osiris in Egypt , which he believes will be able to pass through Sargon 's black magic protection . A fellow traveller , Greek poet Aristophanes ( Ari ) , tells Mathayus and Layla that the Spear only kills Egyptian creatures , but the Sword of Damocles will work . The trio travels to Greece , where they can enter the Underworld to retrieve the Sword of Damocles . On the way , they fall into a cell and are surrounded by men left as sacrifices for the Minotaur . Some of the sacrifices are mercenaries who owe allegiance to Mathayus ' father , so they help him and Layla to defeat the Minotaur , with help from a Chinese captive named Fung . The enlarged group travel to the Underworld , where they are attacked by the goddess Astarte . Layla and Astarte fight , while Fung and Ari search for and find the sword . Astarte tries to send Layla to hell , but Mathayus frees her , and they all escape to the human realm . Astarte orders Sargon to get her sword back , and he asks for more dark powers . The group reach Akkad , where Sargon turns on a machine that dumps oil into the water supply . The oil and water begin to flow through statues into the city , which is then set on fire . Using the Sword of Damocles , Mathayus fights through to Sargon but finds his own father , who turns out to be Sargon in disguise . Sargon uses the confusion to disarm Mathayus and they begin fighting . Ari picks up the sword then hands it to Sargon , revealing that he had been bribing Ari with riches . More chaos and fighting ensues in the city and we learn that the sword that Ari gave Sargon was a fake and easily shattered . Ari bursts in and gives Mathayus the real sword . When Sargon states Mathayus owes him his loyalty as a black scorpion , Mathayus burns off his scorpion tattoo with the sword as Sargon retreats into the shadows . Sargon turns into a giant near - invisible scorpion and continues his attack . Mathayus impales the Scorpion King Sargon with the Sword of Damocles . Fung and Layla put out the fires in the city . Astarte tells Mathayus that she will show him no mercy , but Mathayus tells her that she will have him one day . Mathayus awakens in a bed after being nursed by Layla , who then tells him that he has won the right to be king , but he decides for now to head off on a life of adventure , knowing one day he shall be the Scorpion King .

Critical reaction ( edit ) The film had a widely negative reception . Beyond Hollywood said `` the film is a complete loss , you have to wonder what the filmmakers could have done with a better script , a better cast , and a director who is n't so hit - and - miss as to be infuriating . '' Aaron Peck of Blog Critics said , `` I really wanted to like this movie . The first Scorpion King is a laugh-fest yes , but it 's fun to watch . This movie is painful . '' Keith Uhlich of UGO said the film is `` cheap , ugly , deadening , lacking even the common decency to be unintentionally funny , ( the ) sheer ineptitude increas ( ing ) with each passing scene . '' Film Jabber said The Scorpion King 2 `` lacks action , excitement and , more importantly , quality , '' adding : `` While the production values are decent enough for a film like this , you can tell from minute one that this movie was made simply to coincide with the theatrical release of The Mummy : Tomb of the Dragon Emperor . '' Mark Pollard of Kung Fu Cinema said that `` the lead actors ( keep ) the movie marginally entertaining long after the predictable plot , generic effects work , and poorly - edited screen fighting grows weary . '' Sam Sloan of A Slice of Sci - Fi , said the film is `` a notch up in quality from what is typically seen on a Saturday night from the Sci - Fi Channel , remarking that director Russell Mulcahy `` was able to turn what should have been a totally dreadful movie into a watchable film that did n't make me feel like I had completely wasted an hour and a half of my time . '' Kenneth Brown of Hi - Def Digest said The Scorpion King 2 `` feels like an aborted TV pilot , ( ... ) painfully overplotted , yet so mind - numbingly simple that it 's impossible to care about its characters or central conflicts . '' Sequel ( edit ) A sequel entitled The Scorpion King 3 : Battle for Redemption was released on 10 January 2012 on DVD and Blu - ray Disc with Victor Webster as Mathayus .
