Christ, what was i thinking ? Why did i go to that ?

I have the flu, so it must have been the drugs.

Waste of my 7 euro...

I have to agree with AngelWhore....

.... this time

Pretty bad....

Karl Hungus

No, it weasn't that it was bad exactly.
It's that it was the most forgetable, unremarkable, uninteresting film I've ever laid my eyes on.

It was fairly watchable - better than The Mummy but not as good as the Mummy Returns. Theres been a drought of decent action movies in recent years so it wasn't too bad of a watch.

As a gathering of stereotype and Hammer like decors, they could not have done better. The story could have been better built, but hey, just think it was designed for brainless audience, and you understand how well it fits.

We went there on Saturday after a whole (10 am/ 10pm) day of RPG, our brains were boiling with fights and plots and nasties running after us and it was very distracting. It cooled down our brains as we needed, and we went home nicely forgetfull of the vile plot of a GM trying to kill our beloved characters...

No, true it was crap, but still, as I did not expect much of it, I was really able to appreciate every single detail of fake scenery and crooked hole in the script

Good, but JESUS, let the audience relax once in a while.

It was watchable. Entertaining action bits. Overall very forgettable though. I liked the Mummy Returns! It was entertaining, and fun, full of action. Sure, it was bad, but can that not be a good thing sometimes? Mindless fun.

Scorpion King. Wait till it's on DVD, then rent it, or wait till it's on TV The Rock is alright, but overall I can't remember much of it and I saw it two days ago.

The Scorpion King won't be a movie that will stick in anybody's mind probably EVER but I thought it was alright. I mean the audience should realise before they go in that they are not going to get the same level of fulfillment from a movie with The Rock in it as you would from the likes of A Beautiful Mind or Saving Private Ryan.
Still, the action sequences were good and I'm told that anyone male will enjoy the outfits the sorceress wears (and doesn't wear in some scenes) so as long as you don't expect anything much from it you should find it watchable at the very least.

But now im expecting something:(

I didn't think it was that bad considering that the Rock is a wrestler and not an actor he did a good job plus the story wasn't that bad when compered to some of the other hollywood crap we see now days

Karl Hungus

No, the rock wasn't bad.
I was expecting worse...
The guy who played his brother was rather woefull.

But seeing as I've recently seen Luke Goss and Danny John Jules pull off convincing roles, that's barely as good.
