October 31, 2008Re-watched this movie recently and I have to say it's a good time. Some of the CG leaves a lot to be desired (specifically the Rock as Scorpion King) but overall pretty good.

I came to scream with pleasure, but all I could manage was a pitiful, 'Whoa!' full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
This is not to say the new movie is all bad. It has many of the same elements that made the first film charming -- except charm. full review

September 21, 2006Well they mucked up the humor by orientating it to the kid, but it made up for it with pointlessly fun action bits. This is where Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson got his movie break.
