Tons of stars means I will give this 2 stars. Thats it. This movie was so bad for what it was . . . just a shame.

February 15, 2012Uwe Boll attempts to make his very own Lord of the Rings and the results are hilarious. I mean, I've seen some bad writing in my life, but this movie has got to take the prize. Combine that with cringe-worthy acting, videogame-ish CGI, crappy editing and questionable directing, a... read more

July 2, 2010It's like a shittier version of Lord Of The Rings without the homosexual innuendos.

December 11, 2009The CGI and fight scenes are worth more than the film, and watching the film is really for a family night or boys who under 15 who like sword fights and wouldnt really understand that this is a really awful fantasy story. Rated 15 but really should be rated PG. Some of the acting... read more

July 18, 2009This 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 -
April 24, 2009i really enjoyed this film and it surprsed me that it got such a bad write up but i really enjoyed it and its different it surprised me that it was like a magical fairytale sort of thing and it surprised me pleasantly though

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 -
September 21, 2008Christ--I thought this might be bad! But I was obviously wrong! It was far worse than "bad!"

If this isn't Boll's best effort to date, it's better than his usual output. If he can continue to improve, his name may no longer be synonymous with a punch line. Full Review

Like actors in an amateur stage play, the large, mostly all-star -- or has-been star -- cast of In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale look, rather dazedly, to be playing dress-up. Full Review

Uwe Boll isn't the worst director in the world, but In the Name of the King might be more enjoyable if he were. Full Review

Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
The film never achieves a suitable level of camp that would make it at least unintentional fun. It also is terminally boring at its 127-minute running time, making one supremely grateful that a half-h...

Joe Leydon, Variety
A plodding patchwork of derivative fantasy-adventure, medieval production design, risible dialogue, unimpressive CGI trickery and haphazardly edited action sequences. Full Review

The biggest laugh occurred when one prisoner, chained to the wall of a cave, asked another chained prisoner, 'Where you from?' Full Review

Is this movie so god-awful bad that it's hilariously good? Can't be bothered deciding. Figure that's an answer in itself. Full Review
