It's like Uwe Boll watched LOTR, got a boner and said "I can do this!" then failed miserably. My first Boll and hopefully the last. Damn you Streusand for making me watch this!!

Like an episode of Xena written by someone who is scared of women, directed by someone with no sense of humour, and shot by someone incapable of holding a camera. There are boomerang follow-shots, posing forest acrobats, and medieval ninjas, but it's all taken so seriously by worst-ever-person Uwe Boll that if he had his way it'd be no fun at all. Luckily, those ridiculous antics will never not be entertaining. Add in an incoherent plot and awful acting and you're in for a real treat.

Not sure why people are so hard on this. While it's obviously an attempt to mimic & cash in on the success of LOTR, doesn't a lot in the fantasy genre seem derivative? & somehow Uwe Boll got a lot of $$! How? The movie is also easy to follow (I just saw Bloodrayne, so...) Yes, he miscast Liotta; yes it's got some hokey dialogue; yes it's dull despite many sword fights; & yes, it's as predictable as possible. But the locations & cinematography are stunning & it should work for kids.

Over and over again this movie makes you say what? The script is terrible and the movie drags on and on. All of the cast have done better work elsewhere and some of the performances are bad. Overall this film is a complete disaster.

It's simply staggering to think that anyone on Earth would be prepared to greenlight a $60 million Uwe Boll project. His fantasy epic is predictably dismal, featuring a cast who are never remotely authentic to their environment and a story that's impossibly banal. The dialogue is worse yet, but is at least moderately entertaining in its badness.

Most of the cast appears sedated, the script is fantasy mad libs, and the action resembles Power Rangers more than LOTR. Still, IN THE NAME OF THE KING represents one of Uwe Boll's more sincere attempts to please his target audience, though one could argue that his contempt might have produced a more memorable film. At least Jason Statham's leaping kicks look badass.

Uwe Boll farts out a movie with a well known cast, and it reeks so so bad. The accents the actors tried to pull off just fail horribly, the special effects are alright for Boll standards I guess. But goddamn, what a giant piece of shit. Too awful to watch in one go. And seriously Uwe.. Ninja's? SERIOUSLY!?

You have to applaud Boll for his achievement to gather such a fine cast (Perlman, Statham, Rhys-Davies...), but that's the only positive thing I can find, really... My very first Boll movie, and I can already see where he gets his reputation - but I still can't see how he gets such actors to 'work' for him...

I only watched about 40 minutes of this as a sort of Boll Experiment, having never watched one of his films before, but quickly came to the same conclusion as anyone with a brain would: Uwe Boll is a fucking retard.

The film director knows his job, the scenes are not bad, but not extraordinary too and the repetition of battle scenes becomes boring. The scenarist know his job too, but the scenario is not extraordinary too. We are far from Z series, but it's clearly a B movie. It takes some elements from the Lord of the Ring, from the chinese action movies too and from other films. It's not a bad movie, but it suffers cruelly of a lack of genius !

I actually thought it was pretty decent, compared to Uwe Bolls other work/crap. It lacks however the depth of story, brilliance of plot, essence of emotion, the view of a pro and the really nice twists and character changes even the smaller kids' fantasy movies have. I liked the performance of some actors, but hated the way the story starts without an intro and the movie ends without having an explanation or even a feeling of it being over.

The best movie Uwe Boll has ever made, but it still manages to be a bad movie, even the hordes of amazing actors couldn't make up for the stench of Uwe Boll. One more thing, the bad guys look like putties from "Power Rangers", and that is not a good thing.

In the Name of the King may be an objectively bad movie, and is a resounding failure, it's still easy to see several redeeming qualities in it. For one, the movie is very funny, mostly due to its poor overacting and terrible script, on the other hand the movie looks really good; it's shot with that same epic feel you got out of The Lord of the Rings. However good that may be, that is probably the funniest part about this movie, how insanely redundant it is of the LOTR series. It's no good.

Jason Statham, Ron Perlman and Burt Reynolds play themselves in a medieval fantasy flick, teaming up with John Rhys-Davies, some ninjas, and a Cirque de Soleil act to fight Ray Liotta (who looks like he popped over from another movie without having time to change clothes or hair) and his orc horde. Statham treats everyone from enemies to friends to the king with contempt. But I was actually still entertained by this LOTR budget knockoff. I just had to set my expectations really really low.

It borrowed Lord of the Rings' pastoralism. It borrowed Lord of the Rings' chiaroscuro. It borrowed Lord of the Rings' score. It borrowed Lord of the Rings' Uruk-hai. It borrowed Lord of the Rings' Battle of Helm's Deep. It even borrowed Lord of the Rings' John Rhys-Davies. But what good is borrowing things you have no earthly idea how to use (and never will)? This is one of those films that's so terrible it's actually kind of interesting and entertaining to watch (if you like catastrophes).

In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale is an absolutely awful film. Do you have any reason to watch it? No. Even many of the "bad" sword and sorcery films of the '80s and '90s were better than this, and that's saying a lot. At least those, even if they weren't good, were fun because you could laugh at them. This one is too long and dull to permit even that. It has awful performances, boring action, a lack of clarity, coherency or reason to care, and I hope nobody else is subjected to it.

Uwe Boll must have naked pictures of somebody to get a cast this good. Statham, Perlman, and Reynolds definetly deserve better than this. There's always value in a movie like this in terms of laughing at it, but Alone in the Dark and House of the Dead are better if you want that. This one just is not worth your time.

Perlman, Rhys-Davies and Reynolds?! What in God's name... no wait. This has nothing to do with God. This is 'Uwe Boll makes Lord of the Rings', when he should be asking himself if its time to just give up on this whole directing thing. Uwe's 'Ed Wood - only evil' persona makes him impossible to truly hate, but the same simply cannot be said about his movies. Unforgivably dull.

Unbelievable how they suckered some 'established' actors to play in this movie. It's uterly crap. It looked like Ray Liotta had some fun with his role, but the others just grabbed the money and run I guess. Stay away from this, if you see this DVD somewhere, burn it.
