LaurenD.Oct 14, 20027It was Rock's first major movie so yeah its not perfect but the movie was fun and exciting. People take these things way too seriously!

DavyZ.Oct 5, 20029It's a very good movie.

DougDiggidyOct 7, 20021I like the Rock, but this movie should have never been made. the only reason i gave it 1 point is becuase ive never actually seen it! lol! But the trailers and commercials i've seen for it are so bad it almost comes to the point of angering me.

TaylorK.Apr 20, 20021One of the worst movies I have ever seen. The rock has been a bad actor sine Mummy Returns and well...he didnt change for this movie. It's a predicable chessy movie...I laughed the last 10 minutes of the movie it was so cheesy!!!

WilliamN.Apr 20, 20029I enjoyed the movie very much. I don't think the makers of this movie made it to win an award, it was made for people to enjoy and it was the Rock's first real movie. For it to receive such awful reviews is just sad.

RoxanneC.May 1, 20021This movie just kept on going with a plot to keep the main charachter alive. I can not keep track of how many times the Rock get's hurt but doesn't die. The squeeky voiced dude sounds strangely like the other squeeky voiced guy in The Mummy. The Rock does a good job, but convienently has friends everywhere to save him. Only good for people looking for nonstop action with no blood.

MelissaMay 10, 20022The movie jumps right into action yet because it is so stupid it makes the movie funny. But we all must remember that The Rock is new to acting so of course it wasnt going to be perfect. Scorpion King sucks!!!

JessicaP.Jul 8, 20024Everybody has to suck at something, well,not only does The Rock suck at wrestling but at acting too. He really needs some help, or do I just hate him?

SherriH.Apr 2, 200310The Rock is awsome and I would watch any movie he is in. I am not biased as I say that this movie is better than I expected, he kicked butt, and looked good doing it.

LecriticalJun 30, 20036Now i know that this movie doesent take much grey matter to watch, however, it was very entertaining to me for some reason. it made me feel like a kid again. although the humore was dry, i found the dvd commentary by the rock hillarious. check it out.

[Anonymous]Apr 20, 200410The rock is sooo fit!!! great movie, cool action scenes. hope they make a sequel.

CassieA.Jun 12, 20049Compared to other movies I have seen (and I mean BAD) This one was pretty dang good. The Rock was HOT! The storyline was pretty dang entertaining. Sure it wasn't historcally correct (according to some reviews) but who watches movies to learn someting on a Friday night?! COME ON!!

SamApr 3, 20066The real problem with this prequel is in the mummy returns. If it had set a far more interesting and detailed background for the Scorpion King, it would've been really good. Since it didn't you just don't care.

AlyseM.Oct 1, 200210THE ROCK IS HOTT!!!!

MichaelR.Oct 18, 20025The Rock shows a lot of potential here as an action star. Unfortunately, the screenplay doesn't dig deep enough so that we can have a greater understanding of who the Scorpion King really is.
-
-
PaulF.Oct 3, 20022Jeez, I go to this movie hoping for some good stupid fun trash and all i got was stupid trash. The Rock could've been a contender, but it ends up tasting like the beer Conan pissed out.

CliffW.Apr 20, 20020Despite his looks, the rock does _not_ know how to act very well. He does however make wrestling look real.
-
-
SethB.Apr 21, 20022No, the Rock cannot act, we all knew that. I don't blame him though. He isn't the first action star who couldn't act. This movie was bad due to the directing. If Rock looks bad it's the director's job to make him look good, which didn't happen here. It's as if no one in the movie cared about their part in the movie, so why should anyone else?

KellyS.May 15, 20027Hey, action flick, what do you want? Good old fashioned sword fight movie!
-
-
[Anonymous]May 3, 20024The Rock is very charismatic, but can't save this positively horrible film. I would rather lick the frost off of a metal pole in the dead of winter then to ever sit through this piece of crap ever again.

GauriS.Jun 17, 20023Nothing special about this movie. Decent special effects, but it had nothing to do with The Mummy.
-
-
TroyP.Apr 27, 20028Although this is the first leading role for "The Rock," he puts on a much better effort than seeing Paul Hogan in the "Crocidile Dundee" series. True this is a run-of-the-mill action/adventure, but "The Scorpion King" has enough humor and action sequences to keep nearly anyone interested, except those who are looking for bloody mayhem.

Oct 10, 20119Fan-freaking-tastic the kind of movie you'll remember and have in your collection for years, it's got action and humor, and it's just so enjoyable that you have to have something wrong with you not to like this movie, a must see.
-
Oct 14, 20117This might be the most underrated movie I have ever seen. The thing about this movie is that it doesn't take itself seriously, and nobody watching it should either. The Rock is perfect in this, slightly corny and with a subtle feeling throughout that he's just about to break the fourth wall. Overall, we end up with a movie that has plenty of action for action fans and a great sense of humor.
-
Jan 24, 20126Just like the first Mummy film, The film has that "It" factor and it truely is an enjoyable film. A solid prequel (at least for the Mummy series) and good action through out (I would say the best in the first 3 films). It is a little corny at times though and that takes away from the film quite a bit. Overall though, It wasnt bad and its worth the watch.

Mar 15, 20122My god what the fu** have you people done,there is no real story,the main character is bloody invincible and there is no logic behind anything that happens in the whole movie

58The Rock manages to play both with a crude candor more genuine than the entertaining if contrived spectacle around him, and a surprising big-screen charisma and ease that makes him a natural-born screen hero.
-
50The good news about The Scorpion King is that The Rock turns out to be a charismatic, ingratiating screen presence.
-
58Isn't incompetent; it's just plodding and obvious. If anything holds it together, it's The Rock's ironic ability to tread lightly, which the movie is neither fast nor inventive enough to recognize as different from the spirit of Arnold.
