• A good entertainment for a rainy afternoon!
  "Scorpion King" picks up and maintains faithfully the basic structure of the epic tale, but constructed with a smart dose of acidic humour and double sense vignettes. There are common places and stereotypes like the smart young boy and the unerring and opportunistic "fool", the beauty protagonist, the brutal villain. There are also, marvellous action sequences - specially the great explosive final - that makes it worth to watch it.
  

• NO COMMENT
  AS I LIVE IN EUROPE, I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO WATCH THIS BLU RAY DVD.
  THE FORMAT WAS NORMALLY "ALL REGIONS" BUT I GUESS THAT ONLY THE PEOPLE WITH A REGION 1 APPARATUS COULD WATCH IT. SO I SPENT MY MONEY FOR NOTHING. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT. I WANTED TO SEND IT BACK TO AMAZON BUT FINALLY I CHANGED MY MIND BECAUSE I WOULD I HAVE LOST MONEY.
  SO I'LL NEVER PURCHASE THIS KIND OF DVD AGAIN.
