Scorpion King isn't a horrible film, but it isn't a very good one,
either. While the Rock and Kelly Hu are fine, every single other
character in the film is a stock cliche, trying desperately to have two
dimensions, let alone three. The film has some nice production design
and with a decent script and better direction could actually have been
something honestly enjoyable. But its plot, stolen from the first Conan
film, and its tone, bafflingly swiped from the second Conan film, leave
a lot to be desired. Here's hoping next time I see the Rock and Ms. Hu
is something else it will be a little more worthy of at
