Summary: Derivative? Nothing New? It Doens't Matter!
Review: Quickly made after the success of "The Mummy Returns," the spin-off of the now money-making series comes back with WWF's susperstar Dwayne Johnson aka. The Rock. The result is, as expected, derivative and some even say there is nothing new you can find here. Wait a minute, it's not exactly true.The story is just an OK thing, with so many loud echoes coming from many other previous films including "The Mummy" franchise, but it's no surprise, considering that it was partly written by Stephen Sommers, the director of the two "Mummy"s. Moreover, you get some sense like "I have seen this before": Kelly Hu's character reminds us of "the Bond Girl" Jane Seymore played in "Live and Let Die," and the bond between The Rock and his brother as the last members of the clan naturally goes back to "The Last of the Mohicans." But, who seeks for originality in this place when all you need is an exciting popcorn film, which entertains us all with its action-packed story? And "The Scorpion King" attains its goal as such. You will have what the poster of the film promises: many scenes of swords clushing, The Rock riding a camel in a desert, and sexy Kelly Hu, real scene-stealer. The director Chuck Russel, after the awful "Bless the Child," came back with his sure handling of actions he showed in "Eraser" and about The Rock himself, he did his homework well, showing not-so-bad acting, but we all know that he can act ... he has done it well on WWF broadcasting, you know. And see how he shows a sense of humor (check out the harlem scene where he raises his eyebrow, as he always does), but, see, that's what his fans already know. If The Rock keeps on acting with this pace, keeping in mind his humorous side, probably he turns out successfully as an action film hero, and this movie is good enough to prove his promising prospect, though it has no originality, and nothing new except lovely Hu. In short, "The Scorpion King" gives what a good and old action flicks should give, and a good, solid starting point for the Rock, the action star. The film is executive-produced by Vince McMahon (who else?).

Summary: Conan Returns!
Review: Well, not really, but he may as well have. This script comes off as what would have been the third Arnold Schwarzenegger Conan movie, if it had ever been made. Anyone expecting another Mummy installment will be in for a disappointment - it has no connection to those movies, at all. If you're looking for good sword-action, however, you'll love it. Plot? You want plot? You're kidding, right? Okay - Scorpion King "The Rock" is a mercenary Accadian out to assassinate the new Big Bad's sorceress-seeress (Kelly Hu), without whom his power base will collapse. Scorpion and Seeress get to kind of like each other, he liberates her instead of killing her, and assembles a ragtag army from the Big Bad's oppressed to take the Big Bad down. See, I told you it was a Conan movie. It's handsomely produced, and mercifully has fewer juvenilizations than either Mummy movie (once the teaser is over). Sound good? Then you'll love it. Not sound good? You won't.

Summary: A lot of fun!
Review: I have been a big fan of the Mummy series when they came out (The Mummy and The Mummy Returns), I was eagerly awaiting the release of The Scorpion King. Show a few tantalising tidbits as an extra feature in The Mummy Returns DVD, I was getting a tad excited. When I finally saw it, I was a little disappointed at first, but then got into the fun of it.
Originally, in The Mummy Returns, the Scorpion King was portrayed as a dark character, turning "evil" as he sold his soul to Anubis, the Lord of the Dead. Thinking, hoping, that this movie would explore in detail the transaction from conqueror to an evil creature, I was a little disappointed when The Scorpion King portrayed him as a good guy.
As a spinoff of The Mummy Returns, it incorporates all the action scenes and corny lines and poses that are associated with the Mummy series.
The main focus of this story is just the fun that comes from watching this. Although the Rock does what he does best - look gruff and kick ... - and his supporting actors do their job well, the storyline leaves a little to be desired. For those people looking for the darker side of the original scorpion king, maybe this movie isn't for you. But for those who liked the fun of the Mummy series, this is your movie.

Summary: THE ROCK IS THE SCORPION KING-THE GREAT ONE
Review: As a huge fan of the WWE I have watched the Career of the Outstanding athlete Dwayne Johnson. His performance in "The Scorpion King" was not only exciting but and excellent performance for his first time in a feature film. Dwayne Johnson is a man of war. He battled his way into the movie goers of America and all over the world. He is not to be considered the next "Arnold" but the next Action Hero with 3rd generation superstar status. His ability to capture your attention on the screen not just with his being a sex symbol but with his talent is amazing. I hope his career flourishes and they (the film industry) realizes how marketable "The Rock" can be. I am anticipating his next movie. Two thumbs up from his #1 fan.

Summary: Deadly movie .
Review: I'd taken three little 5th grade class kids I am educating and tutoring to see this loaded movie for pure fun and joy , and that's exactly what we've gotten . There isn't even one really negative statement I can say about "The Scorpion King" . Imagine that in addition to the excitement we have experienced , they'd given us a scorpion sticker tattoo as a memoir , a gesture the kids and me immediately appreciated (and used) . The film's plot takes place in ancient Mesopotamia , mostly in the territory of the land that later became Israel , evidently , before the days of Abraham , since Amora and Sodom stand firm ... It tells the story of an Acadian Warrior/Assassin and the mission he accepts respectively , that is to kill the female sorceress/prophet (you name it) that the tyrant of that era , Memnon , is using to rule the land ; She is able to see the future and forecast the consequences of the battles he conduct , thus warning him from possible mistakes and defeats , an advantage that makes his invincible . The story takes interesting and surprising turns , includes many impressing fight scenes , commendable reconstruction of that ancient period , admirable heroes (though not always believable ...) , a moral story of friendship , courage and a beautiful simple true love story . The nice thing is , that even as a post teen that has seen these kind of stuff more than once , this show actually touched me , evoking noble feeling I wish to preserve and savor more often . Thanks to this movie I recalled a few things I'd happened to forget or neglect, and that is a praiseworthy achievement I salute to . In the end we all decided it was a "deadly movie" , since its major skill is , evidently , the art of conducting extreme violence . However , the presence of blood is minimal , and the sights are edible ( suitable for children form the age of 7 , in my opinion) .

Summary: Ha ha ha ha ha.....oh wait...it's not a comedy. Or is it?
Review: When I go to see a movie with assasins, barbarians, swords, arrows and man-eating ants, I don't want to see a COMEDY. Well, that's what this is. So if you go to this movie expecting another version of The Mummy Returns, then you probably wont be too disappionted. The problem with this movie is that it's too safe. There's no suspense or mystery with this movie. It's boring and predictable. It has a worthless script and is filled with cliches. I suppose it's the equivalent of watching a wrestling match from the WWF.

Summary: SCORPION KING = CROWD PLEASER
Review: The Scopion King is a suprisingly good movie. With the "Rock" as an Accadian Warrior named, Mathayus, and his side kick, Arpid, make the movie a funny and very entertaining. Kelly Hu, who plays the beautiful Sorceress and Mathayus's love intrest in the movie is spectacular. Mathayus is an hired as an assasin to kill the sorceress, which happens to be the beautiful Kelly Hu. When he finds her, in a dramatic scene with fighting and killing, he sees she is a beautiful women. He is captured, and his brother killed in front of him. The sorceress convincess Memnos to not kill the Accadian. Soon after "The Rock" escapes. There are many other scenes where "The Rock" shows his moves, which are very entertaining. After a while Mathayus and the Sorceress meet up and defeat Memnos with the Sorceress's powers. The movie is short, but very entertaining. The [$] is well worth the 90 minutes of show time.

Summary: The plot is mediocre, but the rest is great.
Review: The plot of the film is this film's weak side - it doesnt have the stuff that made the original Star Wars trilogy a classic or a good book like King Rat or The Lord of the Ring behind it, doesnt hold many surprises, and is the reason I rated the movie just 4 stars. Beyond the plot, this is a great movie. The cast is great, most actors do a very good job (at least for an action movie), it's one of the funniest movies I've seen lately, effects are good and not over-used, and I enjoyed the movie a lot.

Summary: Great Action Movie!
Review: Lets go back to December when I first found out that "The Scorpion King" was in production. I thought, "How stupid. But just cause its a mummy movie and The Rock's gonna be in it...it's worth my 5 bucks." I expected the movie to be cheesy and pathetic. I thought "What next? A movie called Imhotep?" Then I read the book. Holy cow I was blown away! The story was awesome, exciting, and gave me many laughs. I read it in one night. Although the book has a slight edge over the movie, the movie was great. Action-packed. Oh, and it has the greatest fight scene I've ever seen in a movie between Mathayus (The Rock) and Balthzar (Michael Clark Duncan). But I think this is nothing like the Mummy movies. It's a whole new story, a whole new ball game. There's no computer generated Scorpion King and the special effects...well, there really wasn't any special effects which makes the movie very coool and unique. ACTION PACKED FUN!
