The Scorpion King movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News: A fast-paced Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves adventure with enough cliffhanger escapes and peek-a-boo nudity to sate adolescent boys of all ages. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: For a movie with such a misplaced sense of history, The Scorpion King seems afraid to have more fun with its own stupidity. Read more
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: More entertaining than it has any right to be. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: It's a fairly pedestrian adventure. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: Wimps out by going for that PG-13 rating, so the more graphic violence is mostly off-screen and the sexuality is muted. Read more
Susan Stark, Detroit News: It's not hateful. It's simply stupid, irrelevant and deeply, truly, bottomlessly cynical. Read more
Tom Maurstad, Dallas Morning News: It's big, clever-dumb fun. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: Another grandiose, hyperactive crock, full of lame jokes and gorgeous, stupefying images. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: The Scorpion King may look like a movie, but it feels like a food fight. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: Rock's got the kind of sly charm and non- self-conscious sincerity that could fit into any action hero archetype imaginable, even the old-school ones. Read more
Mark Rahner, Seattle Times: It's fast-paced, filled with entertaining action set pieces from start to finish, and is genuinely funny in spots. Read more
Bob Longino, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: For all the money spent on The Scorpion King (roughly $60 million), mostly for CGI effects ... the movie lacks bite. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: A live-action cartoon, a fast-moving and cheerfully simplistic 88 minutes of exaggerated action put together with the preteen boy in mind. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: In its ragged, cheap and unassuming way, the movie works. Read more
Steven Rosen, Denver Post: As an actor, The Rock is aptly named. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: The Rock's version of Conan the Barbarian -- a clunky, primitive platform for a star who has yet to get in full touch with his inner Terminator. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Russell ... stitches together a series of stunt sequences, giving as little time as possible to dialogue and character development. Read more
Chuck Wilson, L.A. Weekly: Mindless yet impressively lean spinoff of last summer's bloated effects fest The Mummy Returns. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Tries too hard to be hyper and not hard enough to be clever. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: One of those movies that catches you up in something bigger than yourself, namely, an archetypal desire to enjoy good trash every now and then. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: Like every other action movie, it's designed for a 14-year-old boy's mentality, but it's enjoyable enough to turn most people into 14-year-old boys. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Contains not a single good line or memorable action sequence. Read more
Ed Park, Village Voice: Russell lacks the visual panache, the comic touch, and perhaps the budget of Sommers's title-bout features. Read more
