A Must-See for any fans of the Rock!!!

Having been a WWF aficionado in my teens and early adulthood, I am well acquainted with Mr. Dwayne Johnson, better known to the world-at-large as the megastar wrestlar, The Rock.
Some of you might ask- well he was a good wrestler, and we all know that wrestling is for the most part staged- but does he have acting chops? Sadly, that question is not answered by this film- for me, the Scorpion King was just a Dark Ages version of the Rock. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't horribly acted- the movie itself is short on story, said story being used to propel the movie towards the action pieces. The action is intense and pulse pounding and the Rock does a credible job as an action superstar; he has since gone on to expand is repertoire and is what I would consider to be a credible actor.
Fans of the Mummy may be saddened that their titular character makes no appearances here, but that is explained by the Rock's character having existed as a man sometime prior to the events of the Mummy (which makes sense since that movie is set in the era of the Roaring Twenties, that is, the 1920's for you neophytes).
So, in short- this movie is big on action sequences and calamitous battles, and light on story and romantic elements making it the quintessential popcorn blockbuster. Definitely worth the rental fee and if you're a fan of the Rock, a decent purchase as well. If you're married like I am, your wife is more than likely a fan of the Rock so you really can't go wrong. Enjoy!
