Yar, you be here: The Scorpion King (Widescreen Collector's Edition) > Customer Reviews The Scorpion King (Widescreen Collector's Edition) Customer Reviews (40 - 42 of 42 Reviews)A Waste of Time
There is only one word to describe "The Scorpion King": ridiculous. Everything about this movie is just plain goofy. This is nothing more than a vehicle for Dwayne Johnson, better known as The Rock. The Rock does what he can in his given role, which has him playing a sort of superhuman hitman of an ancient tribe. But that "role" is limited. It consists of nothing more than swinging his biceps around, looking tough, and making the babes go crazy over him. The script of the movie is very amatuerish and so is the acting. Basically, this is just a typical action movie that puts the brawn and bold heroics over the story and the characters. I suppose this could have been a decent made-for-TV movie but they brought it to the big screen instead and made people pay to see it and I'm sure most viewers were disappointed that they didn't get their money's worth. If you have to buy "The Scorpion King", I'd recommend getting the DVD. It has plenty of bonus material (very surprising for a low-grade movie) which makes it worth the price. But take my advice: avoid this dud and save your time. Pretty Good
I'm a pretty big fan of the Mummy Movies, so when I heard this was comming out I was soo excited! The whole storyboard in this movie is really good, and the acting is pretty good, but not great. Still a great prologue to the Mummy! Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
Dwayne Johnson also credited as "The Rock" has become a very entertaining actor. Myself, I love all of his movies, there is no one better to play "I'll kick your ass and feel good about it" other than The Rock. Then you think about other muscular actors, for example Arnold Shwarzenegger, he was Mr. Universe but does it show in his movies? No he's all about guns, he doesn't put his strength to his advantage in his movies besides hauling around a coffin full of what? GUNS in T3. The Rock makes each movie memerable, somthing you can always keep and enjoy. There IS NO ONE BETTER than The Rock to play such a role as The Scorpian King. He is the top of the line and I hope he makes a lot more movies, he will be the next kick ass major actor bigger than Stallone, bigger than Shwarzenegger he's a star. The Scorpian King is sucha movie that you can keep and watch over and over, The Rock hits this over the fence out of the park and right into your DVD collection believe me he's deffinately worth the price.
