Review of In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2007) by Phil H — 11 Jun 2012

This is a terrible film all the way, God knows how they got such a good cast. It rips off so many good, bad and old fantasy films and not in a good way either, just in a hammy cheap way. The story is the usual old rubbish, the effects are poor and the acting is real cheese.

They also manage to stick some martial arts nonsense in there too, as hordes of faceless monster baddies get their arses kicked by the ugly looking Statham without realising once this guy might be a bit good.

Everything is predictable and cliched to the max, it gets two stars for some nice cgi landscapes here and there.

Could of been a cool homage to the old hack n slash Capcom arcade games 'Dungeons & Dragons'...if you get me, but they just go down the overly used martial route these days.
