The Scorpion King
This movie is set in about 5000 years ago in the ancient city of Gomorrah. The remaining of the free tribes come together to tackle Memnon because of his evil nature. The sorceress is the major advantage Memnon has over them, so they decided to hire three Akkadian assassins led by Mathayus to take care of her.

On the silly popcorn scale, it works pretty well.

A ridiculous though not entirely unpleasant way to while away ninety-two minutes.

Wimps out by going for that PG-13 rating, so the more graphic violence is mostly off-screen and the sexuality is muted.

Boasting sword-and-sandal action more sluggish than a Ye Olde Renaissance Faire, The Rock putting someone through a table would be a welcome anachronism. "The Scorpion King"? More like "Moron the Barbarian."

Another grandiose, hyperactive crock, full of lame jokes and gorgeous, stupefying images.
