[QUOTE="reapersaurus, post: 161724, member: 1194"] [b]what's wrong with overly-critical people?[/b] hmmm.... my wife and I just got back from seeing it, annd we hardly ever see movies when they first come out. I agree with the people who say it's pure fun, and quite enjoyable to watch. Everyone - DON'T listen to people who rely on the same criticisms of action and fantasy movies as always: 1) bad acting. 2) no plot. 3) special effects dominating over characters. This movie is heads and shoulders above The Mummy Returns. What more should you ask? Dr. Midnight : this blows Kull the Conquerer away. and i didn't mind Kull. Hell, my wife and I are fairly push-overs when it comes to fantasy-type movies. However, i'm VERY critical of plotlines making enough sense, and this one worked well enough for even me. Maybe it's because i had just about NO expectations from the movie (not a WWF fan), but this has MANY cool action ideas that would be great to emulate in D&D. BTW: as for the criticisms: 1) acting is seldom a problem for me. These people are professionals, and the delivery never broke the character or mood for me. What more do you want? 2) the story and plot were actually quite good, in my eyes. With few spots where the conveniences of the plot made me stop and say, "That wouldn't happen", but even when it did, it wasn't a problem swallowing. 3) almost no special effects in The Scorpion King. purely conventional, raider of the lost ark type effects film. However, as a person who likes almost all special effects, the 2 in this film were about the worst I've ever seen (the ants and the snakes) I really don't know what people were looking for, but we snuck into 30 minutes of Blade 2 afterwards, and in comparison, The Scorpion King was EMINANTLY easier and more enjoyable to watch, even though Blade 2 seemed to have some cool spots.
