I actually liked it. Its not a movie that tries to be the best, but its a nice and simple action flick with a lot of cheesy one liners and cliche sequences.

I like it and it's funny, the movie has a pretty stellar cast that back in say 2006, would've been considered worthy selections of a theatrical release. Ron Perlman, Billy Zane, Temuera Morrison, Batista, even Victor Webster was getting a little newbie focus back then in his role for Charmed. I prefer it over Rise of a Warrior and think it's a worthy enough follow-up to the original Scorpion King, though one more movie featuring The Rock in the role he made iconic would be ideal for wrapping up the character's story into where the King was at in The Mummy Returns' prologue.
"Just tell the minister, I'm gonna be a few minutes late". *Cue John Williams' Superman theme*
It's a decent flick and, for the budget, they were smart with dollars and maximized what they could potentially do. However, as a Scorpion King sequel, the story is basically a waste.
shareI liked it. Casting Billy Zane is both the worst and greatest casting choice. He's clearly wrong for the role, but he's a riot on screen.
