- Synopsis
- In an ancient time, predating the pyramids, the evil king Memnon is using the psychic powers of his sorceress Cassandra to fortell his great victories. In a last ditch effort to stop Memnon from taking over the world, the leaders of the remaining free tribes hire the assassin Mathayus to kill the sorceress. But Mathayus ends up getting much more than he bargained for. Now with the help of the trickster Arpid, tribal leader Balthazar and an unexpected ally, it's up to Mathayus to fufill his destiny and become the great Scorpion King.

-
"Isn't incompetent; it's just plodding and obvious"
-
"The good news about 'The Scorpion King' is that The Rock turns out to be a charismatic, ingratiating screen presence"
-
"A fast-moving and cheerfully simplistic 88 minutes of exaggerated action"
