    Black Scorpion is good bad - fun to watch as a tacky diversion. [5 Jan 2001, p.109]

    This offering never transcends a superficial comic book style -- at least not in the first outing -- and it suffers from banal and repetitive dialogue, weak comedy, obvious puns and no plot surprises to speak of. In other words, it's trying to re-create the campy tone of the old "Batman" TV series. Mix that up with real martial-arts battles and plenty of explosions. [4 Jan 2001]
