Sadly Over-hyped

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

How do you produce a movie with Jason Statham, Ron Pearlman, Burt Reynolds, and Ray Liotta, to name a few-- and have it turn out this bad???I don't know. Ask Urine Bowles, or whatever the name of the director is.Basically, a dude called "Farmer"(how lame can you get?) goes to avenge his family and save the kingdom of Crapville, or whatever place they supposedly live in. You never feel like you are in a movie-- just a stage behind K-Mart, or in a wooded area outside the local school.Plastic swords, hammy acting, anachronistic speeches/people/objects, and cheesy nonsense abound. Ray Liotta flies around shooting magic power rays at the farmer, and laughing like Dr. Evil. They keep showing the same cut scenes for different events or battles, constantly. The army of bad guys are low-budget orcs that couldn't get hired by Sauromon, apparently, and have no real reason for doing anything-- they are just manufactured to harass and kill humans by Ray Liotta, for some generic or unknown reason. Even LOTR was stupid in this regard-- you never really understand why they kill or harm humans-- they just want to. They don't rape the women, or need human blood, or want the land for development-- in all these stories, they just want to destroy the world of men or some farmers because they are "evil" or bored or something. Well, LOTR uses this too, but it had a budget and awesome battle scenes, etc. This movie has nothing, but some big name actors who will look back with embarrassment at what they did to draw a check that year...

Disgraceful is the face of humanity that cannot appreciate the marvelous cinema that Uwe Boll artisnally handcrafted. This movie moved me to tears, made me cower behind my concubine's couch, and brought forth in me such a rapturous, unholy rage that aforementioned concubine was tempted to tranq me to calm me down- and that's just within the first 10 minutes. In the Name of the King is like Lord of the Rings, if LOTR was actually, you know, good. This movie will transmogrify your life like nothing else you have ever experienced. And I mean that literally. This movie is not for the cowardly, or the faint of heart. This is a movie that will shake you to your core. God bless Uwe Boll and God save the King. Diego Montoya signing out. Diego Montoya

Well... the first signs of the film is encourage us to leave this, but the brave ones is surely watch it.Uwe Boll as director, OMG get away! - Jason Statham as protagonist, come on! That actor, who only played one character all of his films, even on his parodies and he just do one thing: Look intimidating, clearly it is good one a poster or a silly action movie... but not here. Not in any demanding movie.Let's see plot, which is clichéd, with the expectation of one cliché, the inn, we can see all, return to plot: Krugs attacked kingdom, sacking the entire village of Farmer (Jason Statham in movie) and kill his son, taken his wife away. Farmer Daimon (I not remembered this, so I seek to his name) and few of his friends go away to release Farmer's wife.LOGICAL FAILS: Krugs have an army, right? They surely had their own guardians, why would think, that a small group able to enter their territory. The magi (in modern clothes) sent the Krug against King Konreid. The daughter of this king in a weird lover of this magi, in a small sketch we can see their relationship, which ended in fault. The King's army attacked the Krug in a forest, aided by the nymphs and some assassin like warriors... (both?) I do not know, exactly. The King died later, naming his lost son (omg cliché) as his heir. Two magi clashes as a low-budget version of Gandalf vs Saruman, and the king's adviser magi fallen. Farmer enters the castle, deal with the evil magi with his followers. Here we knew, that his wife pregnant with his second child, an heir to Farmer.Total eye spit to the original Dungeon Siege 1 - I missed Lady Montbarron as central character - I missed the Utgards - I missed the plot of Legends of Aranna - Clearly they mentioned Ebh, but this Ehb is very cheap compared to the game's Ehb. - I missed the Empire of Stars, the Giants... etc. - Where is the Seck? - Where is undeads, goblins?Thanks for nothing, Uwe Boll.

This may be the worst movie I've seen in several years, so I felt obligated to join in and inform people not to waste ANY time on it. I don't remember why my buddy and I decided to watch this in the first place. I'll admit the stupidity of it all actually made us laugh pretty hard a few times, but that's the only redeeming aspect you can find to this movie. After this one, I've officially concluded that Jason Statham just accepts any movie script you throw at him, cause he should have seen how bad this would be from the start. Uwe Boll is obviously well known for directing some of the worst movies around, which had I known that in the first case I would never have watched it. All the acting in the movie is HORRIBLE, which is surprising since some of the actors have actually been in tons of other movies and done a decent job. Ray Liota's character is dumb. Jason Statham's character name being 'Farmer', doesn't help anything since his acting is very sub par in this as well. Matthew Lillard become my least favorite actor for at least a year after his devastating performance in this movie as Duke Fallow. To go along with the bad acting, this movie couldn't have possibly took much to make since the bad guys known as the "Grug" I believe look like the initial Power Rangers villains from the early nineties. All in all this is an outrageously bad movie that I should not have the misfortune to see for sale on store shelves. Enjoy!
