    This definitely a 4. The quality of the adaptation from the game, for what it's worth, is quite good. It's a shame that the source game chosen (Dungeon Siege) was a knockoff itself and poor at best anyway. Neither the game nor the movie really bring anything new to either genre. Uwe Boll continues to demonstrate little understanding for the audience he makes movies for and a poor ability to select decent source material. Expand

    its uwe boll directing this ... do i really need to say any more? i didnt even know he directed this crap till the end credits . if i knew in advance i woulda stayed clear of this . its a cheap lord of the rings knock off that looks like its on a B movie budget but yet has some decent actors like jason statham , burt renolds , and a few others . the script is pretty much a mess the diouloge is terrable ... i will say this though .. its deffinitly not uwe bolls worst film by far. you could see far worse wach alone in the dark , house of the dead , postal , or pretty much any thing els this guy has made.so its a tiny step up for him ... very tiny.

    Uwe Boll brings another stinker to the big screen. Be sure to catch it opening weekend, because it won't survive to weekend #2. I think it would be less painful to watch with a bottle of scotch and a few buddies to laugh at it with.

    The script, production design, acting, directing and editing were all so bad that at times I felt like I was watching a campy, 1970s Saturday-morning television show. The story is completely incomprehensible and the editing in the first half hour is so slapdash and uneven that there is zero continuity. Ray Liotta should stick to doing video game voices instead of "acting" in movies based on video games. And Burt Reynolds ... there are no words. What a waste of time and money -- for the filmmakers and the moviegoing audience. Expand

    Actors were fine; producer/director and editor let down them and the audience.

    LOL, this was HILARIOUS, in an unintentional way! I went with my best friend, and there were these three other college guys sitting behind us, and they were laughing the most! This movie is SO corny and cheesy I don't even know where to begin. The first laugh of the movie came when the camera cut to Burt Reynolds, college guy was like "HAH!!" Then it all went downhill from there. Uwe Boll pretty much made an unintentional comedy, especially from Ray Liotta's performance!! LMAO!! Expand

    What is it with you people!! An awesome jaw dropping work of art comes out and you somehow complain and give it a low score. But then a absolute piece of shit movie comes out and there 10's everywhere. This move did so many things wrong. From the story line to the acting. I just don't understand people anymore...

    In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Seige Tale had to be the most hilarious movie to start the new year off. For that I'll give it a 10. Never in 34 years have a movie had me in tears from so much laughter. Some of the scenes were just plain ridiculous. If you are looking for a Lord of the Rings type film, this is not it, far from it very very far from it. Jason Stratham and Ray Liotta has put a serious hurt on their careers with this movie and really should leave the Matrix stuff to Keanu Reeves, he's better for those type of sequences. Expand

    I had to watch this just because of the interesting assortment of actors in the cast, and because they were in a Uwe Boll film. His direction is more ambitious than usual, and certainly a better quality than the majority of his work. It actually has some good cinematography, but the story is so stupid I guess it doesn't matter much. Uwe Boll's best film, but that isn't saying a lot. Expand

    I could of done better then this director , saved a lot of money, some of the actors on this movie should of done a updated movie , it was like watching modern day actors try to fit into ancient times, it was frustrating, to watch, also , some of them need desperately acting lessons, burt reynolds, is a great actor so he pulled it off, but the others needed to be in a gangster movie, or put makeup on to desguise them from the type of movies that they had done before. the story made no sense, they should of had some prelog statements made at the beggining, you had no idea about the characters, you didnt get close enough to the passion of each character, clean the board all those good actors and not much of a story to follow, something was missing ,it was hard to watch at times , and caused me real distress, because they had so much equipment and energy put into it, but the story seemed, boring, the movie seemed boring, the film production , had some wonderful scenary, but why could i not get into the passion of the movie i just dont know. it seemed odd at best, what were they thinking, you cant just start a story without any background of the situation, who did i feel passion with , i just dont know, very boring,, bery boring indeed, a lot of good stars, but no real content, i think they all just wanted to make a movie, no body was conviencing me of there characters, a interesting actress, was the wife of the hero, great actress, i beleived in her character, she was beleivable, so that is my statement about the movie, it seems to me, i would of arranged alot of things differently then the director did, the villian i think should of put makeup to add to the characters beleivable self,i dont like to be critical, but i thought the movie was really bad. and always look for positives in everything Expand

    I really take it that the three people who gave this film a ten below me might be Uwe Boll himself. This is a very bad movie. Almost as bad as "Pluto Nash". Almost.

    This is horrible, I don't believe that anyone would give it a 10, Ewe, is that you? This man is a murderer of video-game films. He thinks Michael Bay is far worse than him. I would rather watch Pearl Harbor again, before watching 10 minutes of this film. And, trust me, I hated Pearl Harbor.

    This was painfully bad. I wanted to leave but I was with friends, so I couldn't. I should have seen this crap coming, it's made by Uwe Boll, quite possibly the worst director still making movies today.

    While the writing was done by a 10 year old who had read some "grown-up" books. The cinematography wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, however, let me say again, the writing was PAINFUL. Not even that star/has-been star cast could save that. Then you have conflicting accents, throw in some melo-dramatic acting and a stupid, hard to follow, thoughtless story and screen play, and there you have a pile of steaming...well you know. No wonder Uwe sounds like eww. Expand

    Why do I have a feeling that the perfect 10s were done by Uwe Boll himself? This poor English probably gives it away... My brain still hurts from watching this awful film a week ago. That's all you need to know.

    As previously stated, the soundtrack for this movie is absolutely terrible. However, the dialogue is so much worse. You actually feel embarassed for the actors. (And yourself for watching) Uwe Boll is the worst thing to ever hit cinema, and he is part of the reason why movies today are horrible. This movie would get points for good action; there wasn't any and this movie gets a zero. There are no redeeming qualities to this movie and you are left worse off after you have seen it. Then again maybe Uwe Boll is being artistic in the fact that he can invoke such feelings of anger and hate over something as trivial as a movie. Tut tut. Expand

    First off, Jason Statham stick to action movies (Hint: The Transporter). The only thing that I liked about this movie is the fact that it ended. Could someone please give me back the last 2 hours of my life. All I wonder is why didn't the guy at the movie store warn me that this movie sucks. Accents are wrong, "Farmer?", compatible with planet of the apes in medieval times.

    Worst movie of all time. Seriously. I have not seen worse. I am a true believer that this movie will be played over and over again in hell. On a high note, i did laugh a number of times - during situations which were supposed to provoke sadness. Thats what terrible writing coupled with atrocious acting does to a movie. Five words - worst movie of all time.

    I have been looking ever since watching this steaming dog turd of a movie for something worse than this. The humor (well, the intended humor) made me cringe, the action sequences can make even Chuck Norris want to cry, and the ending made me want to punch something. I would have paid any thing to have Uwe Boll, or as I like to call him Ow My Balls, in the room at the time. The only problem would be that he is a good kick boxer. Expand

    This is one of the worst movies that I have ever seen. It looks good, but the acting is absolutely dreadful. It could be considered a comedy because it is so absurdly awful.

  1. Is this movie so god-awful bad that it's hilariously good? Can't be bothered deciding. Figure that's an answer in itself.
  2. It's completely undone by its terrible screenplay, inept direction, oppressive musical score and muddy visual palette.

    A plodding patchwork of derivative fantasy-adventure, medieval production design, risible dialogue, unimpressive CGI trickery and haphazardly edited action sequences.
