This is How Movies Should Be Made

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Fool me once, shame on you Fool me twice, shame on me Fool me three times, I'm a ruddy idiotI'm a longtime Boll defender, movies like this do not help my cause at all.The first In The Name Of The King (2007) was mediocre but passable, it's sequel (2011) was a bit of mess but nothing too offensive. This however, is a slap in the face with a part of Uwe's anatomy we should not discuss anywhere........ever.Here we see mercenary Dominic Purcell ham it up as another guy ripped through space and time, mistaken for a "Chosen one" and forced to battle evil forces including an awful looking cgi dragon.Nothing against Purcell in fact I think the guy is a decent enough actor for the genres he tends to do, but here he is officially phoning in his performance and looks bored from the outset.Now onto the stupidity, for a start our protagonist is a bad guy with few redeeming features. No movie which starts with a guy kidnapping children is going to get me to root for him.Secondly the front cover is yet another dishonest one, at no point does Purcell wear a suit of armor.Boring, mindless stupidity is all you'll find here.The Good:Not so muchThe Bad:This is a protagonist, really?CGI is really poorUnforgivably boringDishonest coverThings I Learnt From This Movie:Even Hollywood recognises womens insistence on going for the biggest a-hole availableUpon being pulled through a portal you will have instantly attained the ability to wield a sword like an expert

Well 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.

*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...

"You're on the path that you must follow to its end and that end might come sooner then you think." Hazen Kaine (Purcell) is an enforcer for the mob who wants out. After being given one last job he thinks he gets his wish. He is to kidnap the daughters of the royal family and hold them for ransom. When he takes a necklace from one of the kids something strange happens. He is teleported back in time to the dark ages and the only way back is to save the village from a dragon. So...yeah. That is actually what the movie is about. When they tried this plot in the Army Of Darkness it worked. This one did not. To be fair though I didn't like either of the other two so if you did you may like this one. I am not a Uwe Boll fan but after watching and really liking Assault On Wall Street I was hoping for better then this one. But when the main character in your series goes from Jason Statham to Dolph Lundgren to Dominic Purcell there is really only one way the series can go as well. Overall, I have seen worse but it's really time for this series to stop. I give this a C-.
