I saw this a ton as a kid and remembered liking it and thinking it was the same level of quality as The Mummy but it's not. It still is very silly and seeing The Rock kill a bunch of people and make funny faces is somewhat entertaining.
It's corny, cheesy and cartoonish at time but it knows it's all these things and fully embraces it.
So, The Scorpion King…
What's there to say?!? It's not a particularly well written movie, but it has its moments. Especially some action scenes are quite well done. The acting, however, is not all that good. That might be because they had a rather lackluster script to act out, or they are just plain awful actors. I choose to believe it's a bit of both.
Anyway… I'm not sure why I'm not all into The Scorpion King, as I love stupid adventure movies, but this one doesn't really do it for me…even though Kelly Hu is REALLY hot in this. It might be because Dwayne Johnson's hero is an old world monster in The Mummy Returns, but who knows. I just know I don't really care for this one…
Why dose The Rock look like a PS2 cut scene in this movie?
And who thought it was a great idea to make a spin-off for the worst CGI character in 'The Mummy Returns'. I mean was he the bad guy in that movie?
Why so low rating? It was fine movie, liked it in childhod
A spin-off of The Mummy series, The Scorpion King is a fun sword and sandals film. The story follows an Akkadian warrior named Mathayus who’s hired to assassinate a warlord’s sorcerer, but he’s betrayed and left for dead. Starring The Rock, Kelly Hu, and Michael Clarke Duncan, the cast is pretty solid, and they do a good job at handling the campiness of the material. Also, the action scenes are dynamic and have a lot of energy to them. However, the script is rather weak, with a fairly generic plot and poorly written dialog. Yet despite its problems, The Scorpion King is a lighthearted and entertaining action film.
Love this movie all the actors were great
Another Dwayne Johnson Movie, Him being the invincible and over powered character as always !!!

Not a award winning movie by any stretch of the imagination. It's Dwayne Johnson doing what he does best. But for a quick 90 min entertainment with some action and fun ? Why not, I have seen much worse.
