Has anyone seen this movie yet? I have heard that it was bad ass and also that it blew my load. I saw a documentary on the history channel about the scorpion king to, it was cool cause he really existed.

the movie is wicked silly at parts, but the people that made the movie did it on purpose. so its ok. i loved the movie, its baddass and funny. the rock is funny shit (think the funny parts in indianna jones) def. see it, but itll be sooo much better if you get someone else to pay for you. (not like any movie wouldnt be)

I'm sorry to tell you but the scorpion king sucked.

There was actually already a thread in GED (http://boards.armageddongames.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=54637) about this movie... you can find more opinions there.

I haven't seen the movie yet but I am quite looking forward to going to see the movie. I guess The Rock makes a good appearance.

I dislike prowrestling in all its forms. Including movies with the stars from them. See "The Mummy 2" and you can get about all you need from it, plus Mummy 2 has a real actor, not that you don't have to act well to be a prowrestler, considering it is all choreographed and fake.

The wrestling itself is fake, but to fake it in a way to make it popular is another matter alltogether. Consider it a soap opera for men. They still have to work hard at it, to make it look somewhat real. I've watched a few bios on some of the people and they have to do some very hard things that are still dangerous.

Scorpion King was good for a few laughs....because me and my friend were making fun of the terrible acting through the whole thing.

That depends how much it cost to make.

Now, I heard it sucked as well, but I still want to see it as well.

It sounds slightly lame, something about a minstrel or whatever.

yeah, it sounds cool, but its terrible when producers try to improve something that was already a hit. (the mummy duo)

I found it funny that eveyr crappy one liner The Rock made, he seemed to smile at the camara and just imply, "Watch WWF!"
