I personally think that the movie of The Scorpion King was great. I especially love the part of Mathayus fight the evil ruler Menon. he final battle, and the ensuing explosion are awesome.

The Rock Rocks!

Pros: Fun story, lots of swordplay

Cons: Marginal acting

The prequel to The Mummy and The Mummy returns isn't really a prequel at all. It isn't even set in the same area, unless the same hemisphere counts. Nevertheless, it's got supernatural action, lots of fighting, buff bodies, and a beautifu...l woman. All the ingredients of a good time in front of the big screen, right? Right! Eye Candy in the form of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Michael Duncan exists for the women, and Kelly Hu is at her gorgeous best for the men. There's lots of intense action in the fight scenes - plenty of fire, lots of swordfights, and acrobatic stunts. Memnon (Steven Duncan), an evil king, holds the beautiful sorceress (Kelly Hu) captive for her - guess what - ability to foresee the future. Mathayus (The Rock) is an assassin sent to kill Memnon, but is thwarted by the need to save a child. Since he can't seem to assassinate Memnon, he kidnaps the sorceress instead and of course Memnon gets more than a little upset at him. The rest of the movie is the forces of good (Mathayus/The Rock) versus the forces of evil (Memnon/Steven Brand). The swordfights are very well choreographed. In fact, the fight scenes are so well done it really makes up for the fact that the movie has virtually no plot and what plot it does have is at odds with The Mummy Returns, which it is supposed to be a prequel for. It's a good bad movie, quite enjoyable if one isn't expecting too much and can be satisfied with it for what it is: a fun time. Read more Less

DO NOT WATCH

I enjoyed both the mummy and mummy returns and thought this movie was one of the worst films EVER. I wish I could give zero stars.The acting was very bad, almost comic. The film looked grainy and low budget. And the plot had true promise but never de...livered.I truely hated this movie. Read more Less

What a disappointment!!!

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 4, 2002

This movie was so "overblown." I thought this might be worth watching, but it did not compare to The Mummy and The Mummy Returns. In other words, this movie really bites! Don't waste your time or money...

NOT GOOD AT ALL....
