In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2007)
РΔЖРΔĐΜΔ -3 points 4 years ago.

While some acting like John Rhys-Davies and a few unknown faces to me were at times passable for this kind of film, even a few performances better than the lead cast, the rest of the performances were awful, heck this was so bad Jason Statham looked almost like a lead actor for once, most the cast seemed to not care all that much, to points where they just seemed completely out of place in this film.

Action while good at times just reminds viewers of better movies they could of been watching, a Dungeon siege tale but a few hobbits away from being something else but a very bad version of without so few qualities here. Also, Statham particularly is just too wooden when it comes to fighting action in this one, he either did not train very hard or is just not very convincing here, nothing much natural looking with fighting from Jason, you can see how staged it is, I know it is a movie thus fake, but fighting should not be so obvious looking of how setup it looks on screen.

Considering some of the names on show here and the inspiration for this to exist, this is not only a huge disappointment in relation to being inspired from a fairly good game series, story is uninspired and plods along rather all too familiar here, just done much worse…watched once, not again
