Black Scorpion is good bad - fun to watch as a tacky diversion. [5 Jan 2001, p.109]
By David Bianculli FULL REVIEW

May 1, 2015
This offering never transcends a superficial comic book style -- at least not in the first outing -- and it suffers from banal and repetitive dialogue, weak comedy, obvious puns and no plot surprises to speak of. In other words, it's trying to re-create the campy tone of the old "Batman" TV series. Mix that up with real martial-arts battles and plenty of explosions. [4 Jan 2001]

Where "Batman" played it straight, and was therefore kinky, Scorpion smugly thinks it's cute, and therefore isn't. Its cops are Keystone, its star is personality-free and its plot progressions are dippy-dumb. But Lintel's poppin' chest is always well-lit, gunfire is frequent and spectacular explosions keep topping themselves. [4 Jan 2001, p.B31]

This series looks like a sad refuge for actors down on their luck. [4 Jan 2001, p.40]
