The Scorpion King
Story
Set in around 3000 BC, the scorpion king follows the story of Mathayus, an Akkadian assassin and one of three brothers who are the last of their kind, who is hired to kill a sorcerer who works for an evil king called Memnon and allows him to rule by predicting the outcome of every battle. They find the sorcerer, who is not what they were expecting and is actually a sorceress, but are caught in her tent by Memnon's men. Mathayus's brothers are killed but he is able to escape through the sorcereress's help as well as the aid of a hose thief called Arpid. He then begins a one-man campaign to kill Memnon and avenge his brother's deaths.
MY OPINION
The story was well written, there were a lot of twists in it and it wasn't linear which is always a bonus. For a historian like me, there were too many ...
Advantages: Beautiful countryside views, peaceful and log cabins are fab! Disadvantages: Quiet setting - too quiet for some, on site facilities limited
have to re-heated again the next time you turned it on taking another 16 hours and using more electricity! The electricty is by a meter that is paid at the end of your stay, as previously mentioned. We thought we would run a massive bill with having the hot tub, but the bill at the end of the week was £45.00 total. This was for all the electricity in the cabin. We did not think this was bad split between us, as we were expecting it to be alot more! It was great for the kids to use during the day, but well worth it for the adults after they've gone to bed!
LOCATION
Hartland Forest is in DEVON not CORNWALL! If you leave the site onto the A39 and turn left Cornwalls border is 3 miles away!
I must say it is very secluded in the sense local shops and supermarkets are a good drive away. Bideford was about 20 mins away to access a town ...
Advantages: action packed adventure Disadvantages: quite a weak story and short.
I'm not a wrestling fan but I'm fully aware of who the rock is because everyone seems to keep on about him.
I enjoyed the mummy returns and when he was in that as the scorpion king I thought it was going to be a follow up from that.
So this was inspired by the hugely succesfull 'mummy series' and is a action packed epic adventure filled with spectacular stunts and fight sequences.
