FREE: VHS "THE SCORPION KING" Stars THE ROCK (Dwayne Johnson) COMPLEX THRILLS! BRAND NEW

The listing, VHS "THE SCORPION KING" Stars THE ROCK (Dwayne Johnson) COMPLEX THRILLS! BRAND NEW has ended.

The movie is definitely not a contender for an Oscar (nor a history lesson), but if an action category should ever become a venue on Oscar night, "The Scorpion King" would rule them all. It makes no apologies for its larger-than-life extravagant storytelling--its roots is the oft-maligned action genre, and yet it's the most lucrative and universal Pictures cinematic vehicle for any movie house.
The sweeping story is not overwrought and complex, but a simple effective tale of a hired warrior-assassin of a fabled ancient world ("the Rock", Dwayne Johnson) who, in his journey of revenge and self-discovery, collaborates with an alluring and enigmatic sorceress who receives visions of the future (Kelly Hu), a horse thief who becomes an amiable comedy relief and sidekick (Grant Heslov), a witty wise man of science who meddles with contraptions and inventions that prove beneficial (Bernard Hill ), a rival warrior-king whose strongarm and rebellious spirit paves the way for a bittersweet alliance (Michael Clarke Duncan), all to overthrow a ruthless visionary meglomaniac who desires world order from the savage chaos of the past by means of terror and bloodshed (Steve Brand.) Added to the mix of action-heavy swordplay and mayhem, comedy and romance spice up the vivid colorful scenes and sounds and music that ensnare the imagination and make this mythic world seem plausible. All the cast are top-notch and appropiate for their roles in this action yarn, even the Rock whose charisma, presence, and voice surprisingly provide a convincing personality and life to his titular role. All in all, the movie delivers on its promise--a rollicking action rollercoaster! BRAND NEW--FACTORY SEALER (2002)
