His computer-animated doppleganger at the film's climax is neat, but it would have been better if there were some feelings towards that character. The Scorpion King is basically a boring character. The narration during the film's prologue is not nearly as good as it would be if we were watching the story develop. Perhaps the weakest part of the film is the Rock as the Scorpion King. Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje was good as Lock Nah, the main henchman. She's probably the best thing about the film. Patricia Valazquez is a real stunner as his love interst, Anck-Su-Namun. Maybe he isn't given enough to do here, but he's still cool. The bad guys are, for the most part, fun to hate.
He's pretty good as a smart-mouthed brat. John Hannah amuses as Jonathan, and Freddie Boath manages not to annoy as Alex, the kid. The action is non-stop, and it does manage, for the most part, to rouse the audience, or at least me. The Mummy Returns is maybe a step above the first one.
