Synopsis

Wrestler-turned-actor The Rock gets his first starring role with The Scorpion King. A prequel to Stephen Sommers' wildly successful The Mummy (1999) and The Mummy Returns (2001), The Scorpion King tells the action-packed story of Mathayus (Rock), an Akkadian assassin who is the only man strong enough to destroy the vile Memnon (Steven Brand). Memnon, a power hungry warlord, uses the prescience of Cassandra (Kelly Hu), a beautiful seer, to ensure an endless succession of victories. Understanding that to defeat Memnon one must first eliminate Cassandra, Mathayus journeys to Gomorrah to infiltrate Memnon's palace and kill Cassandra. But when he lays eyes on the sultry beauty, he is unable to take her life. It isn't long before sparks begin flying and Cassandra is using her powers to aid Mathayus and his cohorts, including the bumbling Arpid (Grant Heslov), and Balthazar (Michael Clark Duncan), a powerful tribe leader who is also looking for a way to end Memnon's reign. Ignoring a vision from Cassandra that predicts his death, Mathayus charges into battle nonetheless, hoping to silence Memnon once and for all. Playing the sensitive, courageous hero, The Rock proves that his appeal is not only relegated to the small screen.

4.0 out of 5 stars a good bit of fun, 8 April 2009
By Eric W. Harrison "ericharrison42" (barnard castle uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
while only loosely a part of the mummy family this is a fun easy watch dwayne"the rock"johnson plays the title role and does a good job with the limited script.there is no attempt made to make this into anything other than a saturday afternoon movie for the kids to enjoy and as such it succeeds admirably.
the visuals are superb as is the sound quality of the blu-ray there is also a good range of special features on the disc which all add to an all round good disc and great value for the price.
so if like me you are a bit of a sad boy who has to have the whole series of movies or you just want a film that the kids can enjoy i would recommend this disc.
