| Filmcritic.comBill GibronAnother lame copy of every crappy sword-and-sorcery epic ever made. |
| eFilmCritic.comBrian OrndorfI would like to think that Uwe Boll is not a mentally-challenged individual. However, the incompetence of his movies speaks otherwise. |
| CinemaBlendJoshua TylerBoll manages to hold this disaster in the making together by infusing it with unexpected energy. |
| Más GamersSebastian Zavala KahnA fantasy class-D story starring talented actors at their worst moment. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Sun Publications (Chicago, IL)Josh LarsenSort of like watching Lord of the Rings through a smudged television screen. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliA 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. |
| eye WEEKLYJason AndersonThough several battle scenes have surprising flair -- Hong Kong fight choreographer Tony Ching obviously came in handy -- the movie's too turgid to qualify as campy fun for more than a few fleeting moments. |
| FulvueDrive-in.comChuck O'LearyWhen King Burt Reynolds says, 'What kind of joke do the gods play on me?,' we feel the pain of a downslide that took him from No. 1 box-office star to appearing in an Uwe Boll schlockfest. |
| Los Angeles TimesSam AdamsIts convictionless competence is merely dull, denying the pleasures of an outright howler without providing much else. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisThis is the sort of movie where men stand blankly over dead loved ones, then start digging. Masculine stoicism or emotional botox? You decide. |
