Product Description

IN A LAST DITCH EFFORT TO STOP MEMNON FROM TAKING OVER THE WORLD, THE LEADERS OF THE REMAINING FREE TRIBES HIRE THE ASSASSIN MATHAYUS TO KILL THE SOCERESS.

There's nothing original in The Scorpion King, but this derivative action franchise gets off to a rousing start by cleverly stealing from a lot of better movies. Capitalizing on his brief cameo in The Mummy Returns, Dwayne Johnson (a.k.a. World Wrestling Federation star the Rock) stars as Mathayus, an Akkadian assassin in the age preceding Egyptian pharaohs, who vows to avenge his brother's murder by an undefeated warlord (Steven Brand) prophesied to become the desert-ruling Scorpion King. Their battle for supremacy comprises most of the film's brisk 95-minute running time, punctuated by comic relief from Mathayus's obligatory sidekick (Grant Heslov), romance with a beautiful sorceress (Kelly Hu), and alliance with a massive Nubian (Michael Clarke Duncan) on the eve of their climactic showdown. There's no rhyme or reason to the film's depiction of ancient civilization (the costuming is particularly ludicrous), but the Rock demonstrates adequate action-star potential, and director Chuck Russell (The Mask) wraps it all in a slick, professional package. --Jeff Shannon

 Great plot, good for all young adults March 1, 2010
Sarah Knott (Southeast USA)
The plot in this movie is a lot of fun. I suggest it for any fans of the Mummy/Scorpion King series. Graphics are second rate but do not detract from the plot in any way. Very enjoyable for most all ages.

Petra (Florida, United States)
If you like that kind of stuff it is a great movie. We had it on DVD but had to buy it on Blue-Ray in wide screen when we got a new large screen TV.

Arnita D. Brown (USA)
For the Rock's first starring role, he did an excellent job. The story was like an egyptian version of conan. The movie over all was excellent.
