Editorial Review: Description: The life of a simple family man named Farmer (Jason Statham) is changed forever when a horrifying army of animal-like warriors known as Krugs who are controlled by the evil Gallian (Ray Liotta) invade his village, murder his son and kidnap his wife. Farmer sets out on a momentous journey to get his wife back and along the way, encounters magic and adventure as the quest soon reveals his real destiny in the kingdom. Amazon.com: Jason Statham fights for family and country in this sword-and-sorcery adventure adapted from the popular Dungeon Siege video game by notorious B-movie jack-of-all-trades Uwe Boll. After Statham (a farmer named Farmer) loses his wife (Claire Forlani) and son to the monster troops of wicked sorcerer Ray Liotta (just one of the film's many eccentric casting choices), he trades in his plowshare for a sword to administer some medieval justice. Meanwhile, Liotta is hard at work at unseating aging king Burt Reynolds and replacing him with his foppish nephew (Matthew Lillard). Eventually, Statham is joined in his quest by veteran warrior Ron Perlman and the father-daughter wizard duo of John Rhys-Davies and Leelee Sobieski, but audiences may be lost by then; In the Name of the King is far too poorly paced and written to merit its 127-minute running time (and the American version is shortened by 30 minutes!), despite some energetic battle scenes choreographed by Tony Ching (House of Flying Daggers). Those amused by Boll's campy productions may find some humor in Kristanna Loken's vine-swinging jungle girl, or in the performance by Lillard, who seems determined to enjoy himself at all costs. --Paul Gaita Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Geez, people, it's not that bad...My family enjoyed this movie as it is exactly what it was designed to be...entertaining. Geez, people, it's just a fantasy story about a kingdom, monsters and magic...how award-winning do you think it should be? The acting was not bad, and it did have a lot of big names in it, which was neat to see. The magical special effects were quite nice, too. We enjoyed this movie as fans of action-adventure flicks. Fun way to spend an evening. It certainly was not awful, as some reviewers have said. Rating:  - What the hell?!?!?I really don't know where to begin here. I didn't even know that this movie would be packed with so many stars I know and love. Well, I guess I'll throw my two cents in: 1) The Farmer turns out to be a top notch martial artists, wrestler, and sword fighter. When and Where did he acquire the knowledge and skills to both learn farming and combat skills? I mean his fighting was above par by any standard. 2) The tree sprits are feminists tree huggers. While they shoo ... Read More Rating:  - Ewwwwwwwwe ....About thirty minutes in, my wife turned to me and asked this question: "Who directed this and how did they get the money?" Realizing the context of this remark, she is not a film buff and often cares very little about the art of film, who directs, who scored it and so on. Maybe she likes an actor every now and then, but it's not often. Her favourite film is Brotherhood of The Wolf. My answer was this: "Uwe Boll. No one seems to know where ...

That is like saying that every detective movie that have a though guy private eye in a long shapeless coat is a rip off of whatever movie in that category is most known. This movie present a very, very typical, stereotype fantasy story. It is uninventive yes but it is not plagiarizing. And that is about as much good as can be said about this movie. There is really to much ... Read More Rating: - Seriously?!?!?!I wish I could give this movie even less stars than one. This was truly one of the most awful movies I've ever had the misfortune to see in my life. The only thing redeeming in this whole film was that I didn't waste $10 on it. Instead I wasted only $3. I came into this expecting to see a medieval fantasy and was left with utter crap. I really like Jason Statham and he tries hard with this crap script. The dialogue was just so god awful I was left feeling I could have done better. The action ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
