      Super show of beautiful macho

      A movie, there are both beautiful women, and macho, as well as action, and magic, and from time to time gag... What do you expect? Acting? The plot? human nature? Seeing those pretendingly elegant petty bourgeoisie, I am angry. Please, why don't you watch "Mystic River" if you want these? Why not watch "Mulholland Road"? This is an action movie, this is a pure commercial movie, OK? !

    Negative Evaluation

    The biggest flaw of the film lies in the serious discrepancy between the title and the content-although the title is called "The Scorpion King", the film has nothing to do with the Scorpion King from beginning to end.
