Very Cool!!!
... View MoreAn action-packed slog
... View MoreIt's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
... View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
... View MoreWell what can i say about this one. Do not buy it. It is throwing your money away. Bad acting, well the actors are not having chemistry. Bad filming, the camera keeps moving and you will get a feeling of being seasick. It is very annoying. The script, well you start wondering if they had a good party when they made this one. Actually this film does not do any credit at the last 2 movies. These were nice movies to watch. So do you want this one in your collection. The answer is not in mine collection. If there will be another one they better get there act together !! This could have been a much better movie..... So if you have some time to kill , do not take this movie. It is not worth the time to view it.
... View MoreI just watched this and enjoyed it, but only because I like Dominic Purcell. I really liked him in John Doe and in Prison Break, and was hoping he'd been in some better movies. Sadly, this is all I could find.What I liked about ITNOTK 3: Dominic. His acting was low-key and emotionless, but I guess that's appropriate for a hit man. The landscape. The dragon which was pretty good, although I would have liked to see more of it. And to see the hero engage with it a little more than just firing at it.What I didn't like: the cheesy accents. The inspiring speech before the climactic battle was embarrassing. The plot: it made little sense.Nothing fit together: Why did the same actor play both villains, in the past and the present? Why did the hero have the tattoo? Why did the little girls have the amulet? Why was he chosen to lead them to victory when he actually did very little? And my biggest question: why did he decide to rescue the children when he had been the kidnapper? What made him change from a bad-ass hit man to a compassionate (I presume) rescuer? Was it something the princess said? ("That's not a job for a man.") Is that really enough to turn someone's life around?The best line in the movie: "We're all going to die."Was it worth watching? If you like Purcell, and dragons. If you want a coherent plot and superb acting, look elsewhere.
... View MoreNot going to lie, when I saw the first teaser I wanted to hate this movie. The original is just such a classic. One of the few movies from I can still watch and genuinely enjoy without relying on nostalgia for the game it is based on. That said, I really enjoyed this movie. While I love everything about the first one; the effects, the one liners, the violence,and the campiness, I didn't find myself comparing the new one to the old one when I watched it.In my opinion, the new additions to the story really help make it more of a complete story, one based closer to our current reality than the original movie was. Nothing felt forced and there was a much better explanation for why everything was happening and certain key players motivations.It's definitely not the fun campy movie it once was, but it throws out a few fun nods to the original classic In the Name of the King. I found this movie to have more heart, and for a man to truly control his dark side as a contract killer.The action was top notch. Most of the CGI looked very natural, and the fight scenes were intense. I really liked what they did this time around.I wouldn't go in expecting the original In the Name of the King, but I found this new film to be one the most enjoyable action movies I've seen in a while. I look forward to another possible sequel.
... View More*sigh* Where do I begin? Well, maybe from me being from Bulgaria, and, as this film explicitly told us, it was filmed in Bulgaria.First of all, I want to say that I am ashamed of the Bulgarian actors and their horrific English accents. It's obvious that nobody actually cared to practice their lines for more than ten minutes before filming. And even I, the Bulgarian (though with a certified proficiency in English), couldn't stop cringing when they'd speak. And when ten-year-old girls speak English better than your actors, you know you're in trouble. The evil king (whose name I couldn't understand) (Marian Valev) also contributed to the horror, especially with his dreadfully placed "BETRAYAL?!" line. And Uncle Tybalt (Nikolai Sotirov) had the worst accent of them all, yet he was given the epic speech near the end... I wonder how Dominic Purcell didn't feel the need to rip his ears off. At least some of the actors' mistakes were funny to hear: Ralitsa Paskaleva: "Go on the horse". "Go." Not "get". *sigh* Forget it.Now, the accents aside, this film is still terrible. First, it starts off boring and the opening feels as if it's dragging on forever. Dominic Purcell, ever the watchful assassin, leaves his fingerprints all over the crime scene and nobody even notices the pile of corpses he's left in the hallway. He isn't "the chosen one", and the film relies on his accidental getting of a tattoo to justify him being selected to bring order to the fallen kingdom. Then, the portal to the medieval world opens up for no apparent reason. Next up, I hope you like shooting dragons with a gun, cause that's what happens. Once again, it is by sheer luck that he's been teleported into the right place for the rightful heirs of the throne to find him and to bring him along on their quest for glory and peace. And so on...And once again, our main character was not given any armour whatsoever. Like in all the previous "In the Name of the King"s, which I've unfortunately seen.The villain is as 2D as he could get, he's flat, one-sided and not even interesting or rational. The plot doesn't make too much of a sense, and the battles don't either. People have conversations in the middle of battles, and apparently yelling "STOOOP FIGHTIIING" at the top of your voice actually causes soldiers to stop fighting.So, the accents are a disgrace, and villain is a disgrace, the plot is a disgrace, and the combat is as well. Dominic Purcell actually throws a sword and it kills someone. Unbelievable. Literally.You know what else is a disgrace, to top everything off? The costumes. The bad guys wear a blend of XIV c. plate armours, Saracen turbans and yatagans, and katanas and Japanese Samurai armour. Truly something to be called an "eyesore". Talking about disgraces, I should mention the ending. It's truly and utterly, and completely and terribly, and I ran out of adverbs, dreadful.This is the first film in my life that caused me to take a pen and write down all the faults in it. By the end, I had four full pages written in my notebook. "Oh God, why?", says the popular Internet meme. I'd ask the same.Reading the (only) plot summary at the time of posting of this review, it seems that Uwe Boll himself's written it. "Inspired by Dungeon Siege"? The film takes place in medieval Bulgaria. Ish. "Mind-blowing special effects"? Not a chance in hell. You know what the CGI dragon lacked? MASS. It looked and felt like a CGI thing superimposed on the picture. Not like a dragon, unlike other films. Hell, "Dungeons and Dragons 2: Wrath of the Dragon God" is a quadrillion times better than this, and it's not the best fantasy film with dragons either. "Nonstop action"? Yeah, right. "A massive army"? Probably, if you call thirty men "a massive army". (Still better than the previous film, where armies were six men on each side.) In fact, I'm gonna go round there and try to submit a different summary that doesn't glorify this piece of rubbi... "art". With heavy air-quotes.Seriously, don't waste your life with this. Go and watch something else. If you want to watch a good film, I saw "Gravity" recently, and it's stunning. If you want to watch a bad film, there are still a plethora of better films than this one.Such a disgrace to my motherland. *sigh* Uwe Boll...
