Saw it on Friday, good movie if you don't mind a bit of cheese. Well... OK... a LOOOTTTT of cheese. Pretty much cheese from front to back. It's good natured fun with a fair smattering of humor.

I enjoyed the heck out of it, it's almost an 'homage to the Conan and Indiana Jones flicks of the past.

I did find myself saying "Hit him with the chair!" a few times, and looking for the ropes too.

yes unfortunatly the scorpion king is a "prequell" of the the mummy returns but THANKFULLY it wont be as screwed up thanks to the fact that this time the rock is an actual person and not a big growling bug

It made everybody in the theatre laugh out loud in a good way, and that in my opinion is a good indication that the majority of people will enjoy it.

It was AWESOME! It needed a fair bit of dumbing down on my part (I went to see it with a couple of guy friends, and only one other totally enjoyed it) but its 100% pure entertainment. Its pretty ridiculous at times, but the Rock is pretty much one of the best entertainers around, wrestler or no. Its one of those movies where you just laugh because it doesnt really take itself that seriously (there were so many stereotypes and cliches and its hard NOT to believe they were put in there on purpose).
I'm probably going to wait till it comes out on DVD, then get all 3 movies..

yeah its some sort of mummy spin off from what i heard.

Hmmmm..I enjoyed The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, but I wasn't going to bother with this. But maybe I will after reading your reviews.

I thought it was an above average action flick, and I enjoyed it. There is barely any storyline in it at all- its all hack and slash, an aspect I found myself enjoying.

I think the Rock is an excellent actor in and out of the ring.

Hmmm,I wanna see SK!

I watched the making of the Scorpion King on HBO, and I must say, I have revised my opinion of the Rock. Not once while being asked questions did he refer in the "third person" (i HATE that) :D

and from what they showed, it looks like it should be good. The director said it wasn't a prelude to "The Mummy Returns", but a movie to let you know who the Scorpion King was.....

anyway, haven't seen it yet, but would like to :D

<font color="aqua">I 100% agree with you. Just thinking about that movie give me flashback of the Old Holk Hogan (spelling?) movies. *shudder*</font>
