Movie Reviews of In the Name of the King - A Dungeon Siege Tale
Movie Review: lighten up!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow, I just watched this movie last night and logged on to post a complimentary review. I'm tempted to ask, did you people see the same movie? While I can understand and even agree with some of the criticisms posted, I can't believe the hammering this film received. Now, I'm a fantasy fan... meaning, I am used to, and don't object to, fantasy. I go looking for it and it's here in this movie. I thought this movie scored well in many ways. Sure, it's over-the-top... it's fantasy! I want evil wizards, unarmored heroes, total evil vs. total good, all the things that don't exist except in fantasy. Here are a few of the things I liked about this movie:
1) Jason Statham... normally one of my least favorite actors, more watchable than usual in this heroic role.
2) Burt Reynolds... fun to see him again and his king wasn't so bad.
3) Ray Liotta... over-the-top, just as an evil wizard should be.
4) Claire Forlani, more beautiful than ever, does an great job as the brave wife and mother... worth destroying a kingdom for, anyday.
5) Leelee Sobieski... an excellent job, would have liked to see her part even bigger but it seems we have a deeply cut version here in the states. I'll be looking for the uncut version.
6) John Rhys-Davies... does his usual fine job, considering what he has to work with.
7) Not to go too long, many of the supporting performances were worthy and well done. I had no trouble watching this movie and found many touches that lent it a unique personality. The reviewers that panned it were unfair, IMO, and many of the criticisms of the director were unfounded. This movie was not boring. Of course, it was predictable, it's fantasy! We do want a happy ending, no? I liked the fast pacing, the skipping from scene to scene, the occasional humor, the special effects, and overall, the entire movie. A good job by all! OK, go ahead, cut me to pieces. I know somebody out there is just waiting.... I'll try to die realistically.
