If you want to enjoy this &#8220;movie&#8221;, perhaps you should get drunk.  Seriously.  This rambling clusterf$%k of a flick is so awful, it is just waiting to become a Mystery Science Theatre 3000 episode.  I could bore you with a plot synopsis (The Rock takes his muscles to kick some prehistoric barbarian ass) but why bother?  Is there really any point is discussing the acting talents of a man whose role model as a thespian is Arnold Swarzenegger?  In this case, the teacher still far surpasses the student, and Conan is a much more interesting character than The Scorpion King.  This is supposed to be a prequel to some other eqaully inane piece of drivel, but there is no indication of it in the plot.  Indeed, indications of a plot at all are rare.  Also, Micheal Clark Duncan reprises his role from other films as, well, some really big guy.<\/p>\n<p>That said, I had a blast watching this movie.  I went during a reasonably full showing (there were many mullets) and ridiculed the film out loud in the theatre.  &#8220;Wow, you Rock!, No, You ARE the Rock!  Wait, I&#8217;m confused&#8230;&#8230;..&#8221; I was neither shy, nor quiet.  The fact that the Rock&#8217;s real name is Duane was one very important vein in my litany that day.  &#8220;I can smell what Duane is cookin&#8217; !&#8221; was one of my favorites.  I was so loud and rowdy and openly spiteful of this pathic attempt to entertain anyone that the theatre staff came over and asked me to be quiet.  At least I didn&#8217;t get kicked out.  I badly needed a drink, however. 1 cell phone, call me if you see it, I&#8217;ll give you some material.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Scorpion King Starring Duane&#8230;er, I mean, The Rock, MIchael Clarke Duncan and sadly, not one other name any of you will recognize.
