Plot Summary: A simple family man (Jason Statham) is forced to take up
arms after an evil sorcerer (Ray Liotta) unleashes an army of bloodthirsty
beasts that destroy his small village and capture his beautiful wife (Claire
Forlani). As the marauding forces overrun the land in an effort to overthrow the
king (Burt Reynolds) and his loyal magus (John Rhys-Davies), the once
peace-loving peasant and his two companions (Ron Perlman and Will Sanderson)
venture into perilous, uncharted terrain on a daring rescue mission. In this
breathtaking fantasy adventure, director Uwe Boll conjures up a medieval world
filled with royal treachery, dark magic and spectacular battles, all set against
some of the most awe-inspiring vistas ever captured on film
EN 5 Second Review:
We always love Uwe Boll movies, even though no critic
ever does, especially apparently not Kevin Laforest. It's all just
escapism and fun, not Oscar material, lighten up. Plus, Jason Statham,
Ray Liotta, and Burt Reynolds. That much testosterone all in one place
is cool.
A
major piece of crap. It shamelessly steals from J.R.R.
Tolkien/Peter Jackson, but with none of the intelligence,
heart and artistry Kevin Laforest: Montreal Film
Journal
Obviously, a flick can be not as great as LOTR and still be
enjoyable but, if you think this is the case here, you're
grossly underestimating how much of a worthless filmmaker
Uwe Boll is. "In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege
Tale" is not just awful, it's an insult to the art form that
is cinema....more
