This movie was horrible. The casting was way off and basically it was the worst thing I have ever seen.

I really enjoyed ever second of the film, Although it was like watching Lord of the Rings on a smaller scale. It was great acting(even though i think... ray liotta's acting gets worse with his age) and Matthew Lillard was terriable(and i love the man, he is a great actor). As far as the accents Jason Stathom really talks like that you idiots. But all together i really enjoyed it. I think everbodie but one on here needs to take there thumbs out there butts and watch a movie for the movie, not to compare it to others. AMATURES rOCK ON SHANNON.And a foot note to JXGirl, Jason Stathom, Ray liotta, and Matthew Lillard have all come out with movies the past 2 years. Full Review

Everything was a rip off of Lord of the Rings from the people in the trees to the orc like creatures and the battle in the rain from the hill top.... so very chessy ending last stand fight as well. What was with the levitation and all the books. Dumb. It suited the half-baked actors that they got for the movie that you haven't seen in years. Thank God someone else paid for my ticket.

This was a terrible, cheesy movie! I wish I would have read the reviews before hand! Terrible story line, terrible acting, only two characters... ered with accents, everyone else sounded like they were from Ohio. Claire Forlani had such promise as an actress, oh girl, where did you go wrong??? This movie is the death knell for the careers of everyone who acted in this sad tale. Never mind straight to video, I wouldn't even stock a library shelf with this one. Full Review

A second-rate regurgitation of "The Lord of the Rings." Everything about it, down to the set and costume design, apes Peter Jackson's epic trilogy. However, while "The Lord of the Rings" was a grand story of scope and power, In the Name of the King feels small in more ways than one.Full Review

Its convictionless competence is merely dull, denying the pleasures of an outright howler without providing much else.Full Review

Cultists will be happy to discover that In The Name Of The King bears all the so-bad-it's-good hallmarks of a classic Boll production.Full Review

This is the sort of movie where men stand blankly over dead loved ones, then start digging. Masculine stoicism or emotional botox? You decide.Full Review
