The Scorpion King (2002) 6/10

Starring : The Rock, Steven Brand, Michael Clarke Duncan, Kelly Hu, Bernard Hill
Director : Chuck Russell
Running Time : 87 mins

A hired assassin named Mathayus (The Rock) is called upon to help stop the evil King Memnon (Brand) from taking over the land in which they live, but on his journey to defeat the evil king, Mathayus discovers he has a destiny to fulfil in becoming the fabled Scorpion King.

This was better than I expected, but it didn’t really make much sense when thought of in respect to The Mummy movies. The Scorpion King seems to be quite a nice bloke here, doing what he thinks is right for the masses, when in the previous movie, The Mummy Returns, he seemed to be some sort of world conquering monster.
