Movie log: The Scorpion King 2: Rise Of A Warrior

The Scorpion King 2: Rise Of A Warrior (2008) - 2.5 stars

Adding another chapter to "The Mummy" franchise, this prequel to "The Scorpion King" is a rather awkward addition. However, despite it's crumminess, awesomely bad casting (Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's Mathayus played by not-so-buff ex Power Ranger Michael Copon?!) and pathetic acting from almost everybody in it's cast (especially UFC Heavyweight Champ Randy Couture), the movie does it's job by entertaining it's audiences. Recommended to fans of "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" and "Xena: Warrior Princess" fans. I actually think this would make a pretty cool TV series. :)

Note: Directed by "Highlander"'s Russell Mulcahy!
