The Scorpion was okay. I do not know if it was really necassary to make, but it is somewhat satisfying. It does not really continue in the storyline of The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, so it does not need to... Full review

This movie was surprisingly very enjoyable. Some of the violent sequences are graphic for a PG-13, especially the very first scene in the movie. The plot wasn't fantastic ... Full Review

Perhaps some of the film's more gratuitously over-the-top moments come from the influence of the WWE, a powerhouse that more or less controlled The Rock's terrible filmmaking decisions for several years.
