    This is a terrible film all the way. God knows how they got such a good cast. It rips of so many good, bad and old fantasy films and not in a good way. The story is the usual old rubbish, the effects are poor and the acting is real cheese.
    They also manage to stick in some martia...( read more)l arts nonsense in there too, as hordes of faceless monster baddies get their arse kicked by the unfit looking Statham.

    Everything is predictable and cliched to the max, it gets almost 2stars for some nice cgi landscapes here and there.
    Avoid.

    I'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) a fantasy movie!), but I still found myself drawn in. The music wasn't the best, but it wasn't bad either except that awful song during the final credits. Ick.

    With 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)ned onto this farce.

    So 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)film to complain about is the piss poor acting... yet this film is chalk full of great actors: Jason Statham, Matthew Lillard, Ron Pearlman, Leelee Sobieski, Burt Reynolds, and Ray Liotta. With the exception of Statham, all gave awful performances, ESPECIALLY Ray Liotta.

    Terrible script, awful directing, atrocious effects.... Just an all around lame movie. Avoid like the plaque. Even all you Statham fans need not watch this painful attempt at entertainment.

    I could spend my review pissin' on Uwe Boll for this...but that's just too easy...

    the story in this movie teaches us that family is everything. Great!

    "In my kingdom there will be no word for 'madness.' We will simply call it 'power.'"

    A farcical, over-the-top, poorly acted attempt to copy the epic Lord of the Rings. Ule Boll clearly overestimated his abilities as well as the quality of the script, as what transcends to...( read more) the screen is just an almighty mess. The film is obviously "inspired" by Peter Jackson's masterful trilogy, as it seems they've stolen the locations, attempted to rip-off the soundtrack and copied the Orcs - they even stole Gimli! (who, for the record, is also just much more kick-ass when he's half his real size..)

    The film is much, much too long (they even tried to get it up to LOTR timing standards..) and it's just embarrassing for all the actors - particularly the ones who had some previous credibility to their names. And even more particularly for Ray Liotta and Matthew Lillard - who knows what either of them were thinking!

    If you like Jason Statham, please don't watch this film - he was cool until I watched this. Actually, scrap that - just please don't watch this film, period.

    Jason Statham made his worst movie, anyway he isn't a real actor, he is a kind of wrestler.
