Review of In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2007) by Patrick S — 04 Feb 2018
Ok, I will admit that I did not watch all of this film. But you only need to see the train start careening off the tracks for you to realize you are witnessing a giant wreck. This film was desperate to be Lord of the Rings in that same embarrassing way that 50 year old actresses with way too much plastic surgery are desperate to be 25.
The plot could not be more boring and straight forward, and each unnecessary character was less developed than the next. Also, who the hell cast this film? Burt Reynolds as a regal king and Ray Liotta as an evil wizard? I think Hollywood collectively threw up a little in the back of its mouth when that news was released.
The special affects and acting would have been great for a SciFi Channel movie, but they were kind of laughable by feature film standards. The only reason to watch this would be to laugh at it (not with it, at it), and to try and solve the age old question: Who is a worse director, Uwe Boll or Michael Bay (I am trending towards the former).
