Critic Reviews

James Berardinelli

A second-rate regurgitation of "The Lord of the Rings." Everything about it, down to the set and costume design, apes Peter Jackson's epic trilogy. However, while "The Lord of the Rings" was a grand story of scope and power, In the Name of the King feels small in more ways than one. Read full review

Sam Adams

Its convictionless competence is merely dull, denying the pleasures of an outright howler without providing much else. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Director Uwe Boll sticks with what he knows -- how to turn video games into dull, cheap-looking movies. Read full review

Rick Groen

Is this movie so god-awful bad that it's hilariously good? Can't be bothered deciding. Figure that's an answer in itself. Read full review

Jim Ridley

As numbing and depressing to watch as suits hammering out a film-packaging deal one venal clause at a time. Read full review

Laura Kern

An awkward “Lord of the Rings” knockoff, it features both elaborate battles and bumbling humor, though it’s never quite clear when you should be laughing. Read full review

Joe Leydon

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

Hey...like you are all good at making movies...i'd like to see your sorry arses make a better movie. Anyone who can create a film and put it on the big screen deserves a 10, good luck to all your losers.

Not a bad movie. Those that rated this a zero have obviously jumped on the Uwe Boll bashing bandwagon and have lost objectivity.

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.
