Default 'The Scorpion King' - High-Def Digest Review

Kenneth wasn't a fan of 'The Mummy Returns,' but he found a bit of guilty fun in 'The Scorpion King,' though he say the film starts to crumble by the end. This Blu-ray features a striking video transfer, a powerful DTS HD Master Audio track, and a slightly dated collection of supplements, but overall it's worth a look.

*Sigh* I don't get these guys...slam, slam, slam....but I liked it...3-stars! WTF? If you're going to give it that kind of rating, don't pick it apart! Brown and Bracke are both consistently inconsistent these days.

*Sigh* is right. This new trend now to constantly attack the reviewers on every new review is getting tiresome.

That's why I wrote all those other paragraphs after the introduction.

This is one of the worst movies I have *ever* seen. How is it worthy of 3 stars? And how in the world is it better than The Mummy Returns?

i'm not a fan of this one by any means, but it IS better than Mummy Returns, terrible terrible sequel. the Mummy itself, god damn is it an awesome movie.

Clearly you don't watch a lot of movies.
Alvin & The Chipmunks is better than The Mummy Returns...

Not sure about the runtime, but during the scene where the rock is poisioned and she straddles him and tries to heal him. Also a scene in the beginning when she mounts a horse.
