Critics Consensus

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

It's as if someone had thrown a whole lot of money at Ed Wood and let him go wild, minus the angora.

Don't go for the campy laughs; there are none.

.5/4

Only Uwe Boll would assume that the moviegoing public craved a trashy Lord of the Rings rip-off starring Burt Reynolds and Matthew Lillard, and only he could then manage to make such a potentially riotous endeavor so humorless.

This boring video was the first time in my life. Disillusion in fantasy movies. Among the parodies of the games that you find on YouTube, the videos with many dislikes will be a thousand times more interesting

This has aged well. Decent attempt at the genre.

the best uwe boll film i've seen so far, not only uwe boll directs movies but he also challenges critics ranting on his films to boxing matches, he keeps on winning to teach them a lesson, but it doesn't change the fact that his films are still not great in any way, I've heard of the documentary Raging Boll, that's where the idea came from, If his critics talk about his movies LIVE, the match begins with uwe boll and the critics. I personally don't like Uwe boll's films all together, the actors he put in are god awful but Jason Stathem was mediocre in this film, and I like Ron Perlman, In films like Bloodrayne... Ben Kingsley signed up. Still... why did these video games had to be made, what does make a good video game adaptation is really hard, people will have to make the film first before the video game. that's a difference. I'm gonna give In the name of the king: a dungeon siege tale a D+.

Stops just short of "so bad it's good" territory and rests comfortably in "so bad it's embarrassing"
