Stupid people.... LOL

by sancho2613

Well Paul Disastro the point is even if these are sneak previews and whatever little clips u might see here and there what's the point of writing any kind of REVIEW if you haven't seen the movie yet? I'm sure you're all smart people and can figure out what a REVIEW. I don't see how you help anyone by writing about a movie you never seen, giving your "opinion" about a movie is really something nobody here cares about give it to your friends instead because we come on here to read REVIEWS not opinions, or whether the previews look good or not. Maybe there's somewhere else you can you can talk about your "opinions" wich really is worthless cause you haven't seen the movie. Give your opion AFTER you see the movie and if you don't want to watch it then don't even bother coming here just to say "it looks crappy" or stupid things like that wich don't help out at all

In the Name of The King

by teamradrz1

Let me first say I love movies and almsot find them all entertaining. This movie was just plain bad the acting was horrible, alot of the costumes were horrible for the era, the cast had some great actors but they were not in their comfort zone of what they portrayed. the only saving fact that kept me in the theater is my youngest (11) seemed to be enjoying it. Halfway through people started to leave and then the blatant rip-offs of other movies, (like Matrix, and LoTR) had the audience cracking one liners which had everyone LOL. I blame this fiasco solely on the director as the special effects were cool and I could have looked past the evil guys costumes, but the movie had no flow and and it really seemed like none of the actors tried to give a good performance. I thought to myself they must have sold their souls to the devil to get into the movie buisness and this movie was the devil collecting his fee.

NEVER EVER SEE THIS MOVIE

by Hamilton101

I have never written a review, but I am compelled to because I have never seen such a bad movie EVER! I can't even come up with one redeeming quality, except for Jason Statham. All else was a joke. Casting, acting, fight scenes and plot, pretty much everything! HOW DO YOU SAY LOSER KINDLY.

"Sucks" doesn't describe it.

by chadc

Have you ever heard that term "she could suck start a Harley"? Well, this movie taught her how. Wow. I thought I was going to see a fantasy movie. Turns out the only fantasy involved was that of the director, fantasizing that someone might like it. I'd rather watch the uncut video of some third grader I've never met playing the clarinet at his four-hour band recital. Burt Reynolds and his wig give their worst performances since Canon Ball Run (II). And... remember how cool Ray Liotta was in Goodfellas? Well take the photo negative of that, and you have his performance here. Man, what happened to that guy? His acting is worse than his complexion. Oh, and I've seen scarier creatures trick-or-treating at the mall. It would have been cheaper and less painful to stop by 7-11, purchase two of those laser pointers, tooth-pick my eyelids open and stare into them for two hours... while listening to a Yanni CD.

Disappointing

by MisterSteve

Disappointing.... I was expecting more of the movie, especially due to the cast of the movie. Here are several reasons for my disappointment: - mid-evil them with modern day fighting moves and ninja warriors - poor video quality - Bert Reynolds as the king - fight scenes that include duplicate shots

Save your money.

by BrianLeichty37

This film has got to be the absolutely worst video game adaptation movie I have ever seen. Uwe Bolle (or however his name is spelled) should not be allowed to make another film like this because it ruins the game and the film that it is based on. Anyone that plays games like Dungeon Siege is not going to like how this idiot ruined it. I have no idea what the story was supposed to be, because there was never any sense of a beginning, a middle, or an ending.

I sure hope that this fiasco doesn't ruin Jason Statham's career, because he is one hell of an actor. Kristanna Loken should have known better after that Bloodrayne snafu. Burt Reynolds and John Rhys-Davies looked like they didn't know what they were doing. Although I will say that Ray Liotta made a very convincing villain, that was not, in my honest opinion, what was needed to make this movie believable. Ron Perlman did a good job portraying his character, but that wasn't enough.

Disaster!

by PhunneL

First time writing a review.

Come here religiously to read other reviews.

This movie has stained Jason Stathom there is no doubt. Even he seemed as though he didn't care. Like the director was off in his tent while a 9th grade drama class directed the film as an extra credit class project.

No Character development in the beginning.
Writing was a collection of cliche' from other movies like Gladiator, Lord OTR, Planet of the Apes, and Braveheart.
Actor choice was all wrong. Ray Liota!?!? as an evil las vegas side show sorceror with hair gel?
Burt Reynolds as... well anything in this type of movie?!
Matt Lillard probably was drunk the whole movie.
Terminator 3? She can't act... Just why?

DO NOT GO. And boycott the future airing of this film on any pay channel sites, or you will be left with a vestige of Jason at his lowest suck.

In the name of the King "A Disappointing Tale"

by jeeb30312

This All Star Cast would have been better utilized in a "Spoof" The dialog wast horrible and the action sequences were monotonous and "B" rated. I am embarassed to admit purchasing a ticket.

Proof that evil will always show its true form

by Frame_Ranger_X

How on this Earth does Uwe Boll CONTINUE to be given money to produce crap movies? How the hell do his ideas even get past the corporate board who gives the yea or nay? Seven people actually sat around a table and said "Yeah, this is a good idea for a film, let's back it." I think he's sold his soul to the Devil or maybe sacrificed a child given his UTTER idiocy behind the camera yet he still is able to draw known actors!!!
This is my second OH-NO!! film ever. I work at a theater (projection) so I saw this "movie" for free. I still felt cheated. There aren't enough permutations of the phrase "This sucks!!" to adequately describe how horribly wrong this movie went. So Uwe, please,- In the Name of the King AND ALL THAT IS HOLY STOP INFLICTING YOUR HORRID "MOVIES" ON US!! PLEASE!!!
I know for a fact projector 14 at work is absolutely DUST FREE considering this film sucks more than the vacuum of outer space.

cheesey but fun

by InannaMouse

I really liked this movie because it was really fun. That being said, there are a lot of people that I know who are way too serious about movies and wouldn't enjoy it. There are some really great classic lines in here. I wouldn't be surprised if it became a cult classic!

I could VOMIT!

by sintarium

This was the WORST movie I have ever been talked into seeing. The scenes stunk--they maxed 5-10 seconds at best. Here's another catch the movie is going to be a BOMB....Ray Liotta as "bad guy with jersey accent"....and...wait for it....Burt Reynolds as King.....come back Smokey this is big momma saying...PLEASE RETIRE!

When the horribleness of the movie was over..all 12 people in the theatre literally jumped up and RAN to the nearest exit as if we all shared the urgency to vomit at the same time! Completely ridiculous! If you like seeing Shrek 3 mixed with Circe de So-Lame (tree swinging forest chicks) mixed with a lousy rendition of Sword in the Stone....well then this is your movie.
