What Others Said
Gimly:
A lower point than even _Tomb of the Dragon Emperor_. Made exactly one smart decision in its entire 109 minute runtime, and it was a financial one.
_Final rating:★ - Of no value._
r96sk:
<em>'The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior'</em> kept me interested for longer than I thought it would, though in the end it is a film to forget. For what it is, a low-budget and low-quality flick, it isn't absolutely terrible, at least not in my opinion. It's cheesy and illogical, yet almost entertains.
Michael Copon is a decent choice for his role, as are Karen David (Grace Mukherjee to me), Randy Couture and Simon Quarterman. None of them show off any standout acting and I likely won't remember them from this, but they do help stop the 109 minutes from hitting the rocks.
Overall, I didn't like this one. It didn't overly bother me either, though.
