Just as much big, dumb fun as an A-grade B-movie should be.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 11, 2020

The effects are terrible, the comedy falls flat and the story is an utter mess.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Jul 27, 2020

It's hard to follow and doesn't reward the effort of following it. It's not good drama, and it's not good spectacle.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 26, 2019

On the silly popcorn scale, it works pretty well.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 29, 2010

Boasting sword-and-sandal action more sluggish than a Ye Olde Renaissance Faire, The Rock putting someone through a table would be a welcome anachronism. "The Scorpion King"? More like "Moron the Barbarian."

| Original Score: .5/4 | Oct 16, 2010

Come for the cheese, stay for Kelly Hu.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 18, 2008

A ridiculous though not entirely unpleasant way to while away ninety-two minutes.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 13, 2008

Predecessors The Mummy and The Mummy Returns stand as intellectual masterpieces next to The Scorpion King.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 11, 2008

The Rock, making his acting debut as the titular top dog (not counting his five digitally enhanced minutes in The Mummy Returns), turns in a slight, if promising, star turn as a reluctant savior of the free world, and leads an encouragingly multi-cultural

There are quite a few slow spots, never more so than when we're asked to believe in The Rock and Kelly Hu falling in love.

Buy some popcorn, check your brain at the door and have fun.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 7, 2004

Isn't horrible because it's so obviously non-serious, but just being wink-wink silly isn't enough to breathe life into it.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 29, 2003

...goofy, silly, and even a little campy - but most of all, it's just fun.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 1, 2003

| Original Score: C | May 28, 2003

Fans of The Rock should see this for his abundance of charisma, but fans of quality filmmaking should skip it for its lack of anything else.
