AFTER FINALY WATCHING IT I REALLY ENJOYED MYSELF. THE ROCK AKA DWAYNE THE ROCK JOHNSON ACTED IN THIS MOVIE AS GOOD AS THE "RUNDOWN". PRETTY GOOD STORY WITH SOME OVIOUS WRESTLING MOVES BUT NOT THE LEVEL OF SPECIAL FX AS THE MUMMY. BUT AS A SPIN-OFF I THOUGHT IT WAS SOLID. KELLY HU WAS VERY GOOD FOR THE CHARACTER AND MADE ME FEEL LIKE SHE WAS MADE FOR THE ROLE. GREAT ACTION AND FIGHT SCENES THROUGHOUT THE MOVIE AND IF YOU HAVE THE MUMMY SERIES IN YOUR COLLECTION ADD THIS TO IT TOO. I AM ZIPPING THE SCORPION KING 2 BUT DON'T THINK IT WILL LIVE UP TO THIS ONE BUT I AM GOING TO BE OPEN MINDED.A sanitized Conan movie - Sauronth
Ok first off, lets put things in perspective. This is an action movie geared toward the younger crowd. That said, I think it has admirably succeeded. The Rock pulls off the role very well indeed. The plot, while certainly not deep, doesn't suffer from blatant "duh" moments that ruin the suspension of disbelief.
The movie is awash with action and more action, with slow sections just long enough to let you catch your breath.
After watching this flic, my first thought was that with minimal changes to plot and visual effects, this could have been a worthy sequel to the Conan storyline. Of course for Conan you'd have seen blood spurting, and loped heads flying.... thus making it entirely unsuitable for the PG-14 rating.The Rock Kicks - Kristy4819
They really thought the rock would blow it. They thought he couldn't act and would always be a second rate wrestler. Well here's the movie where they proved them wrong (whomever "they" are). The Rock totally kicks butt. Sure it's not the most intelligent movie, or thrilling, but it's loaded with action. Besides, if you're planning on renting it you probably weren't looking for a riviting plot and character development: so sit back, relax and enojy the slaughter. :)
