It should be summarized as: A noble kingdom is taken by force, forcing a prince to flee and live a life that turns to adventure, to later return to contest for the throne.
However. However it's all over the place. It doesn't properly delve into any aspect, and doesn't properly string things together. It has all the elements of a good, or at least fair, movie, but it wasn't written well.

A warlord seeks to unleash the enemies of the gods to kill them.
While watchable, I would only recommend it to fans of the sword and sandal genre who can also stand the "quality" that Hollywood offers.

Seeking ancient Egyptian treasure Chinese artifacts, archaeologists unleash a curse that threatens the world. Only this time it's about an ancient warlord's cursed terracotta army.
Decently follows in the footsteps of the previous two movies, though replacing Rachel Weisz with Maria Bello is a terrible distraction. Anyone who likes the other two movies ought to like this one reasonably well. I think this is worth watching once or twice, but certainly hasn't enough soul for collection like the first movie.
Continues from The Mummy Returns - (2001 movie)

A man.. uh.. something about some mercenary missions and people dying and a magic thing and such.
I only saw this out of reverence to The Scorpion King - (2002 movie). Oh gods, the badness-potential of this genre is astonishing. Ignore this, and go watch Hercules - The Legendary Journeys (1995-1999) instead. It is the gold standard of badness.
I think what really offends me about The Scorpion King (2,3,4) is that they cost money to watch, where a TV show would have been (more or less) free.
This is the prequil closest to the movie The Scorpion King - (2002 movie), which is a preq-- oh fuck, trying to explain all of that is ridiculous.

A bounty hunter hunts a bounty but there's a princess therefore save the princess instead.
Oh god, this is like an episode of Hercules - The Legendary Journeys (1995-1999). Old school TV-quality, reasonably fun for low expectations.
This is riding on the coat tails of the earlier actual-movie, desperately hoping that fans will consider all of this a "series". Sigh, it is not.
This is a sequel to The Scorpion King 2 - Rise of a Warrior - (2008 movie), and technically still a prequil to The Scorpion King - (2002 movie) which is itself a prequil to The Mummy Returns - (2001 movie)..
Continues with The Scorpion King 4 - Quest for Power - (2015 movie)

A kid swears revenge for his father's unjust death, and has adventures and stuff along the way.
Fairly good for a TV-movie of this genre. I didn't happen to particularly enjoy it myself, but it'll appeal to people who can handle both this quality and genre together.
(Unfortunately) continues with The Scorpion King 3 - Battle for Redemption - (2012 movie)

A bounty hunter from an extinct tribe is hired to undermine the power of an evil king, but the woman he is meant to kill is hot, and complicates things.
As long as it is taken for what it is, it will be entertaining. It is an action movie through and through, and must not be taken as having much of a link to a historical past. It's not serious, and not meant to be. It's packed with action, has a reasonable story and its lead character is spectacular.
A lot of people would take this as a direct prequel or spiritual prequel to The Mummy Returns - (2001 movie), but that perspective must not be kept in mind!
Continues with The Scorpion King 2 - Rise of a Warrior - (2008 movie), another prequel. Sortof.

Visions of a past life lead a woman to an ancient treasure, but it is also sought by others to both raise the dead and an army.
While it would be unfair to say this movie stinks, it's not great. The computer graphics used in it are uncanny and intrusive. It has action for action's sake, and where a light bubblegum movie is what it is, this movie lays it on intentionally thick, making it aggravating. Fans of its predecessor, The Mummy - (1999 movie), will find the feelings instilled by it are not reproduced in this sequel. It is an obvious money-grab.
The Scorpion King - (2002 movie) is meant to trick you into thinking it's a character-prequel of this movie. You'll regret that. Blank your mind of this terrible movie, before watching The Scorpion King.
Actually continues with The Mummy - Tomb of the Dragon Emperor - (2008 movie)

Seeking ancient Egyptian treasure, amateur archaeologists unleash a curse that threatens the world.
Quite good. Light-hearted fun, with comedy that's not intrusive, plot that makes sense, good acting, and special effects that do their job without being uncanny.

A ramshackle band of misfits find themselves aligned when they work towards parallel goals to save the land from the resurrection of the god of death.
Adequate. If you like orcs, one elf and one kickass dwarf, and if you can handle overacting, then this is recommended.
Contains no dragons, dragon lore, lore .. and I don't even remember if there was any sort of curse or shadows.
