Hey...like you are all good at making movies...i'd like to see your sorry arses make a better movie. Anyone who can create a film and put it on the big screen deserves a 10, good luck to all your losers.

At times it may seem like it's trying to imitate Lord of the Rings at times, but it actually ends up being it's own unique thing, while it has some cheesy moments and some bad writing, and is nowhere near as the Lord of the Rings series, it'sAt times it may seem like it's trying to imitate Lord of the Rings at times, but it actually ends up being it's own unique thing, while it has some cheesy moments and some bad writing, and is nowhere near as the Lord of the Rings series, it's still very enjoyable, has faster, more chaotic, and fun action than most other Fantasy movies, and I like how it does the video tie in, it's not based of the story of one of the games, but rather a tale set in that world (hence the name a Dungeon Siege tale), and I would like to see more video game movie do that, instead of butchering the games plot, so it is an enjoyable movie, and one I would recommend seeing.… Expand

In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale manages to be an exemplary film about the so-called triumph of the human spirit by largely upending every cliché the usual cinematic treatment of the triumph of the human spirit indulges.

I would give it a 7-8 but with all the 'lets just bash the producer thoughts based on all his old films and look for the worst" thoughts I'll just lift it to a 9. Considering the budget, Kudos to this film!

Not a bad movie. Those that rated this a zero have obviously jumped on the Uwe Boll bashing bandwagon and have lost objectivity.

I thought it was a fairly good movie kept in mind what Mister Boll tried to unsleash on his audience before. It suffers the same problems than most of Bolls movies.

It suffers the same problems than most of Bolls movies. Most into the eye popping was the much too close up clumsy camerawork that made even the best action sequences of the movie look like some crappy TV-series. The Sets and the costumes are almost great. ok, the plot stinks and is predictable to the bone, but that was clear form the beginning. Over all i would call it Bolls best work till now ( waiting for Far cry... xD )... You can even call it a real movie ^^ He would have done himself a favour not to go with the Dungon siege licence though... The movie would have been picked up a lot better if it had stayed of the videogame stuff and just been another fanasy-movie... Whatever… Expand

This movie is a major step for him, hopefully one day he will actually make a decent movie that will make it in the box office and win him some admiration. At times the acting tries to go towards a comic relief stance, but it dosen't work out to well. During the fights some of the camera sequences felt a bit dodgy, they really took away from the suspense. Overall it wasn't too great and it wasn't too bad either.… Expand

I fucking love uwe boll. I think everyone else who has given this film good marks will agree with me when I say this movie is of the so-shitty-it's-good vein. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next.

One of the films that I remember most fondly. Thanks!… Expand

Yes, its just a pulp fantasy movie, but it entertained me very well. Of course, comparing it with Lord of the Rings it sucks, but you know its a Uwe Boll movie so making that comparison is like comparing a pro soccer player to a guy with one leg. I've sat through way worse fantasy movies, speaking of LotR the Hobbit comes to mind, which i enjoyed way less than this (both movies in the directors cut editions). Personally I think you can compare these movies very well, both got orcs (not called orcs) and no blood, but dungeon siege got real people dressed up and not cgi. And the villain looks like David Hasselhoff.… Expand
