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.

It's corny, cheesy and cartoonish at time but it knows it's all these things and fully embraces it.

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.

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.

When _The Scorpion King_ first came out in '02, it would be hard to imagine that between this franchise and its forebears (_The Mummy_ & _The Mummy Returns_), that it would be _The Scorpion King_ who would continue to live on in the following decade. Though that's maybe less shocking knowing that _T More
