Customer Reviews of The Scorpion King (Widescreen Collector's Edition)
Surprisingly and shockingly GOOD! First and foremost - I must admit that the only reason I went to see "The Scorpion King" was because my younger brother wanted to see it. I'm a die-hard Mummy fan and a prequel without stars like Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz didn't hold much appeal to me. Plus, I've never been a fan of wrestling star Dwayne Johnson (or more popularly The Rock). So I sat myself down and prepared for the worst.
To my shock and surprise, the movie was one of the best action films I've seen. The plot is interesting enough to follow but not so weighed down as to bore you to sleep. That is, if you could sleep through the action-packed fight scenes that took place every five minutes. The fighting was so mind-numbingly intense that I found myself cringing with every sword stab. Defintely enough action to suit anyone's tastes.
Johnson does a wonderful job as Mathayus. He plays an ancient mercenary who is paid, along with his brother, to kill an evil warlord. When his brother is killed, his motivation becomes revenge. Mathayus meets several memorable charcters along the way, including a horse theif, a scientist and a sorceress. In terms of acting, Johnson carried the character well and makes it believeable (It goes without saying that his amazing physique kept me drooling into my popcorn...).
All in all, I would like to say that this movie wasn't made to think and dissect and ponder the meaning of life over. It's meant purely for entertainment, and it certaintly kept ME entertained!
It's A Wrestling Movie
The Scorpion King met my expectaions head-on.
It's a wrestling movie. I expected no less.
Starring the wrestler The Rock in the role that he played in last year's The Mummy Returns, The Scorpion King is actually a prequel to that better action film. Also starring Michael Clarke Duncan in a role that doesn't seem fit for him or his distinct character.
The Rock actually isn't as bad an actor as one might think.
Has anybody seen Arnold Schwarzenegger's performance early in his career in Hercules In New York? Classic camp.
This is undeniably camp but not of the same kind.
Hercules In New York didn't take itself seriously, this does, and it's sort of hard to believe that The Mummy comes right after this.
There are scenes in this film that look anything but old.
Maybe odd, but not old. There's a new action scene every few minutes and some of the fighting scenes start repeating themselves. You have probably heard about The Rock being the next Arnold Schwarzenegger. Forget it. This movie would have bombed had it not had a tie-in with the much more successful Mummy films.
rocks 2nd film
a assassian in biblical times is hired to kill some big shot wizard elsewhere.rock is the assassian.the only popular character is the rock.kids around 10 and up should be able to handle it.this is the rocks 2nd best movie id say.it was suprisingly good considering nearly every other movie starring a wrestler-including the mummy returns-sucked.its a action/fantasy type deal.there are a number of half naked chicks in this one.the rocks sidekick is the idiotic type you just keep wishing would die the whole damn time like the donkey on shrek.it is very good,but nearly as good as the wwe and hollywood would have you belive.
