A fair warning: do NOT see The Scorpion King. It blows, heavily. Not quite as bad as Mummy Returns, but not much better either

From Film Threat: "The opening sequence of 'The Scorpion King' sets the tone for the B movie, Saturday morning serial feel of the film, as we see an outrageously over the top battle takes place, full of blood, carnage and half naked women."

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>I went to see it coz Kelly Hu looks like my ex-girlfriend from 10 years ago. Only, my ex had bigger boobs. *drools* BTW, this movie is like watching Hercules or Xena, only in theatres.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>That's a really good way to put it. Aside from production value, it did feel like a Hercules or Xena, which isn't a good thing</div>
With a movie like, say, Blade 2, I don't mind as much if they skimp on the plot a bit. However...

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>If this is merely a prequel of "The Mummy Returns" with the same production values, then I'll pass. Action movies are nothing without good action. I don't call running from this and that to be good action, like Mummy Returns was. Jackie Chan is good action, but this sounds like a Jackie Chan movie without all of the fighting.</div>
