He's an assassin from ancient times, a man who fears nothing and whose skill in combat is unsurpassed, when the people call on him to save them from a dark evil, he sets out on the adventure of a lifetime and will emerge as a King. The Scorpion King is an enjoyable slab of no-brainer action adventure, sliced directly from the hugely successful "Mummy" franchise, what it lacks in wit and characterization it try's darn hard to make up for in sheer physicality, no classic but there are worse forms of escapism.
