4 WWE Studios films that are good but not that great

Enter caption

In 2002, the WWE released their first film, produced as part of their newest brand, WWE Studios. Since then, over 30 films have been released as part of the production company, with several WWE Superstars featuring in leading roles.

Unfortunately, the critics have not been kind to WWE Studios with these films becoming something of a running joke in Hollywood circles. In recent years, the WWE have started co-financing films, and have begun having superstars in cameos, instead of being the leading actors.

But for every bad film released by the company, sometimes a good one is able to squeeze through.

Here are 5 WWE Studios films that aren't entirely awful, but let's face it, they're not winning any Oscars either.

#4 The Scorpion King (2002)

The first film released from WWE Studios, The Scorpion King tells the tale of Mathayus and his rise from an epic warrior, to a tortured prisoner, to his inevitable rise to the rank of the Scorpion King.

A prequel to the Mummy Returns, where Johnson suffered possibly the worst CGI in history, blending him with a giant Scorpion, the film is a fun and dumb adventure, even if it's a tad filled with cliches.

Led by The Rock, the People's Champion brings his natural charisma to the role. Not only that, but the former World Champion works well in the role, bringing his serious tone to the epic battles, whilst still being able to provide great comedy.

If nothing else, see the film to witness the beginning of a huge career for The Rock, who could've easily been sunk by the film, if it had done badly.

Instead, the film was a success, helping to launch The Rock into a mega-star on the silver screen, becoming one of the highest paid actors of all time.
