Bad advice leads to bad movie

Rating: 1/10 (21 January 2002)

I took my little sister to this movie because a friend recommended it to her. It is the worst, most overrated film I have ever seen. First of all, parts of it felt like the characters KNEW they were making a bad sequel. Comments like "Here we go again." and "I thought we killed him" are never a good thing. Second, the special effects were sub par. The scorpion king looked like a smashed roach behind the wall of Joe's apartment. Third, the plot was not very convincing or believable. POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD!!!! When the scorpion king's army attacks, somehow they all die but the "good guys" (whoever they are, I wasn't really sure) do not receive a scratch. It seems possible that hordes of sand monsters could inflict a little damage.
This was possibly the Worst movie I saw last summer. I had to watch Memento again just to assure myself that good movies do exist. I left the theater thinking I want my $8 back!
