Now that's my kind of knife fight.

Shawn: I don't really know what to say about this one. If you don't feel like using your brain one night, this movie fits in nicely. Has the same fun and stupid tone as the first one. Adds more depth into the story that was introduced in the first one, which is a little out of character, considering this is a no-brainer movie. Lets see.... it adds more special effects than the first, more action, not quite as much dumb humor, and with it's quick pacing, you don't get much of a chance to object to the qualities you don't like. If you liked the first one, you'll definitely like this one as well.

And for you wrestling psychos out there- The Rock is in about 2 minutes of this movie. Don't get too excited.

JB: Actually the Rock's head is in two minutes of this movie. And he doesn't even do the eyebrow. Sigh. Strangely, this was the only summer blockbuster I actually liked. It was a little less entertaining than the first, mostly because there was more dependence on special effects, which I felt detracted from the movie.

Shawn: That's your nice way of saying the Big Fake Scorpion King sucked.

JB: In so many words. But you can't fault a movie for giving you exactly what you want. Action, adventure, one-liners, and Rachel Weisz in a knife fight. And what do you think... best actor in a non-speaking role, Fraser or Vosloo?

Shawn: Ah, hot Egyptian chicks in knife fight.... Oh, sorry. I'd say it's a toss-up.
