Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

So much average

A Masterpiece!

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

The film 'The Mummy Returns' introduced the character of The Scorpion King as the main villain with a brief flashback to his original rise to power and his later fall thousands of years before; this film gives us more details of his rise to power when he was still very much the 'good guy'.At the start Mathayus, the man destined to become the Scorpion King, is hired to assassinate the sorceress who is enabling the evil Memnon to conquer that part of the world… he also has a personal motive; Memnon killed his brother and he wants revenge. Things don't go according to plan and he ends up fleeing from Memnon along with his sorceress and Arpid, a horse thief, who had helped him. Mathayus must fight off many of Memnon's men and although he prevails he is stabbed by an arrow dipped in scorpion venom. The sorceress manages to save him but cautions that he will always have scorpion blood. Following a vision that shows Mathayus's death the sorceress returns to Memnon's palace. Soon afterwards Mathayus and his allies get there too and the inevitable final confrontation occurs.This film may not be a classic; much of it is fairly ridiculous but it was a lot more fun than I expected. The story is decent enough and serves to provide plenty of action; this is done in an exciting rather than gory manner of the sort that is probably suitable for older children. There are also a good number of laughs to be had. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson isn't the best actor but he does have a presence as Mathayus and the role hardly calls for a great thespian. Steven Brand is okay as bad guy Memnon but is a bit bland. The supporting cast are perfectly serviceable; Grant Heslov provides a good number of laughs as Arpid and Kelly Hu is solid as the sorceress even if her character seems to be a copy of Solitaire from 'Live and Let Die' and her costume, what there is of it, is clearly designed to catch the eye of male viewers… something it does successfully! Overall I'd say this is worth watching if you want a cheesy action movie with little to offend if you aren't bothered by the fairly bloodless violence.

This film depicts essentially a civil war in which a group of warriors led by Mathayus will try to confront Memnon, an evil and ruthless king. The story seems to go up in Egypt before the time of the pharaohs, and seems to be slightly based on so-called "Scorpion Pharaoh", an obscure historical figure about which we know almost nothing. Directed by Chuck Russell, it has script by Stephen Sommers, the director who made "The Mummy" films, and which introduced in these films a hook for this one. The cast is led by Dwayne Johnson, the protagonist, and also has Steven Brand and Kelly Hu.This film resembles visually films like "Mad Max" or "Conan the Barbarian" and television series like "Xena: Warrior Princess". They are films that seem based on Antiquity, to some extent, and who seek to be war epics or, at least, adventure movies. Thus, this film brings very little new things. The hook made in "The Mummy Returns" for these movie resulted in a major continuity paradox because the hero of this movie, the Scorpion King, is depicted there as a powerful villain. The cast is regular and doesn't bring anything interesting. Kely Hu was apparently chosen only based on their appearance under clothing as Dwayne Johnson was selected for his ability to action roles. In fact, Johnson is far from the sensitivity and depth required for a more versatile actor. The scenarios are abundant in imagination just as the costumes, which seems to freely mix elements of ancient civilizations with other right out of comics or of any indie fashion studio.This movie could have been much better if it had been located properly in space and time. The problem with this film is the exaggerated imagination of the director and screenwriter. Everything has limits. The cast could also have been chosen better and the characters could have been built in a much more interesting way. Positive are the action scenes, using martial arts from Philippines about we never heard before, but that look good on the screen.

Its a nightmare the worst casting ever everything is worst I cant believe a movie as crap as that has a sequel an anyone who likes it is wrong. Worst CGI in existence Worst acting Worst script Wrestlers shouldn't act because they are crap ACTORS I am surprised what director could have made this abomination of mankind. I am sure its worse than Batman and Robin. Just thinking of this film makes me sick. Why does it exist? Why? Why? If I could rate it a zero out of ten I would. Honestly its the worst thing I've ever seen. OH its that feeling when you see an ugly person and you cant do anything about it. This film makes me want to punch some thing. I want to punch everyone who gives it a high rating. Even a donkey could create better things than this. The soundtrack is crap as well. And its too long and painful to watch

This movie is a follow up from the Mummy movies. The Scorpion King never really shows up in the film. There is Dwayne Johnson who fights the evil dictator after his brothers are killed. Kelly Hu is soo hot as the sorceress who flees from Memnon the dictator when she is grabbed by the Rock. She loses her powers when she loses her virginity to the Rock but she still plays the game. They hook up with some rebels that are hiding at an oasis, including the late Michael Clarke Duncan. Such an early loss!!! The rebels organize around the Rock and Duncan. They attack the city where the bad guys are and end up winning when the Rock finally kills Memnon. All is then well with the ancient world.
