June 25, 2009I'd been avoiding this since it was directed by Uwe Boll but finally broke down. Because I had so low expectations of it, it's probably why I didn't absolutely hate it. The acting was horrible in much of the movie (Burt Reynolds, Ray Liotta, and Matthew Lillard should NEVER be in... ...( read more )

May 23, 2009With such a great cast I expected so much more... The script was horribly written and the special effects were chintzy. The cast was the only good thing about this film and I'm still scratching my head trying to figure how why Reynolds, Statham, Sobieski, Liotta and Perlman sig... ...( read more )

February 28, 2009So this is what The Lord of the Rings would look like if Peter Jackson didn't do it???
Uwe Boll continues his career of shame with another incoherent crapfest, this time in the sci-fi action fantasy epic In the Name of the King.
One of the easiest aspects of this ... ...( read more ) -

November 7, 2008You know I could attack Uwe Boll for this entire review, but that's just too easy. I didn't know Ron Perlman was in this, making the film even sadder. Come on, Hellboy, what's the problem?
Burt Reynolds is in this and yes, I've seen almost a quarter of a century of Burt Reynold... ...( read more ) -
June 21, 2009I enjoy Jason Statham's action films. This one is set with swords and magic. A good movie for a Saturday afternoon.

July 16, 2008A few problems with this movie were;
1) Jason Stathem as a farmer? Wrong look for a farmer and when can farmers fight like that?
2) Too many cuts and scene felt out of place.
3) Complicated and confusing dialogue.
4) Ray Liotta appearing out of nowhere with no explanation to who he was.
With many more problems, this movie felt more like a four part TV series. Best part was seeing Ron Perlman request the chicken. Just embarassing to see him do. -

May 27, 2008I really liked this movie. It was a fun movie to watch. I was surprised by some of the actors who were in this, but most everyone did a really great job. I do think some else should have played the king, I just had a hard time seeing Burt Reynolds in that part.

January 19, 2008Try to put aside films obvious flaws and emerse yourself in the storyboard environment, and you might find yourself having fun afterall. As long as you don't overload your expectations, you shan't be dissapointed. You'll soon find that this movie is beaming with a plethora of battle sequences, for the blood thirsty warrior inside you, as well as snipets of drama, and romance. Comparative to such recent films as 300 and Beowulf, which receive heavy criticism for their over emphasis on violence.

Lord of the Rings , this is not however, it is somewhat unique. The casting alone demonstrates my point, In what other film are you ever you going to find this variety of actors ? The lead role as played by Statham, feels misplaced due to his straight forward approach to acting, perhaps someome more able to express subtilties would have done better. If your an adventure fan or make role playing online your hobby of choice, you should definetly consider seeing this in the theatre while it lasts.

January 16, 2008um.. it's a Uwe Boll film... how can it EVER be good. These people who ACTUALLY went and seen the movie.. what the F IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?! Where have you been to know wht Uwe Boll is the most awful director ever and only does video game movies to get money.... Let the child beater waste his money and hopefully everyone will just boycott his films...

January 14, 2008Well I was kind of excited to see this till I saw uwe Boll was directing it so then I decited maybe ill be better off asking for them to pay me to see it???

maybe we should use uwe Bolls movies to inlict it on terrorists? LOL -
January 7, 2008I love the Dungeon Siege games and want to see this movie. I wonder how it will turn out... I don't have too many high hopes since the Eragon movie. >.<
