Featuring mostly wooden performances, laughable dialogue, and shoddy production values, In the Name of the King fulfills all expectations of an Uwe Boll film.

The director, Uwe Boll, remains committed to long, dull, mediocre action films. His tenacity is a virtue. Jan 14, 2008 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

If this isn't Boll's best effort to date, it's better than his usual output. If he can continue to improve, his name may no longer be synonymous with a punch line. Jan 14, 2008 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Like actors in an amateur stage play, the large, mostly all-star -- or has-been star -- cast of In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale look, rather dazedly, to be playing dress-up. Jan 14, 2008 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…

Uwe Boll isn't the worst director in the world, but In the Name of the King might be more enjoyable if he were. Jan 14, 2008 | Rating: 1.5/5

Boll has been compared to Ed Wood, but there's nothing personal about his ineptitude; he's just a deal-maker completing a transaction. Save perhaps for his fan club of ironists, movies like In The Name Of The King could only make a ledger happy. Jan 12, 2008 | Rating: D
