I don't know much of the Scorpion King outside of the Mummy movies so I can't say anything about the story line. But as a stand alone movie with no expiation going in it was just another cheesy action movie and nowhere near the worst out there. pros- beautiful location, hot actors,decent action. cons- confusing costuming/fighting styles (too much mixed together), underusing the actors fighting skills (Victor Webster is capable of so much more then they had him do), and far too many unskilled extras running around getting all the screen time. Do I recommend it? Yes, it's a fun distraction for a couple of hours, just don't try to make it into something it's not.
