ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing

Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

The Movie Diorama Sixty million dollars!? You give a sizeable budget like that to Uwe Boll? A director infamous worldwide for producing some of the worst films ever made? Unsurprisingly, this film is awful. Although, considering it is my first Boll experience, I was expecting much worse. A nearby village is attacked by Krugs where a farmer mounts a rescue mission to save the captured villagers and gain vengeance for the death of his son. Swords, magic, large scale battles, sorcerers, woodland women, ninjas, a CGI boomerang and a myriad of famous actors destroying their careers. Yes, you guessed it. It is a discounted version of 'Lord of the Rings' except it's an adaptation of a video game that hardly anyone played. Aside from Statham's standard stuntwork and Lillard's enjoyably campy performance, there is nothing to enjoy here. Everything about this production looks cheap. Authenticity ventured across the land, into another kingdom called "Middle Earth". All that remains is laziness. The houses look like plastic. The Krugs clearly resemble extras wearing 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle' costumes. Perlman is using hair gel in a middle aged kingdom. The protagonist is a farmer called Farmer. "He's taken two legions out of twelve!", "how many are left?", "...two thirds!". Boll loves filming a one-dimensional make out session. Liotta and Reynolds are unfathomably terrible, as two kings fighting for...something...I guess power? Look, the story was so basic that I simply switched my brain off and admired the passion that Boll attempted to inject. I mean, he tried bless him. But this isn't an eating competition where you get a pat on the back for giving it a good go. This. Is. Film critiquing! You don't get points for trying. He failed, miserably. After the final showdown, which has more swirling books than a library in a storm, the film ends. Done. Finished. No more. Two hours blurred into one gigantic mess. This is easily one of the worst video game adaptations and fantasy epics ever conceived by an individual who believes he makes good films.

kelleant I unfortunately watched this movie thinking it would have been a faithful adaptation to the games I love. GOD AND PEOPLE SAY DUNGEON SIEGE 3 BAD. This film not only is completely unfaithful, but it also manages to rip off The Lord of the Rings. It has terrible effects, bad acting, a confusing plot the editing is out of order oh and IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GAME oh wait the land is called Ebe THAT'S IT. Seriously who lets this guy make this movies they're a disgrace to the games they're based on. I'd give this a -10/10 if I could.

K. van D I just love movies with a bad plot, unrealistic scenes, over the top acting. They can be very entertaining. I expected this movie to be really bad, but still fun to watch. However, even with these extremely low expectations the movie is awful... Great actors, even some good acting. But a horrible story, totally predictable script, completely unrealistic. Terrible screenplay, terrible effects, ridiculous props. Waste of time. Really. I can only wonder why great actors like Lyotta, Rhys Davis and Statham ever decided to star in this movie. What did they miss when they signed up for this? Did they even read the script? This movie is just some Lord of the Rings fan fiction of terribly bad quality. Would have been impressive if some students had made it with virtually no budget. But as is I can only advise people to stay away from this horrible piece of work.

SnoopyStyle In the kingdom of Ehb, Farmer (Jason Statham) lives peacefully with his wife Solana (Claire Forlani) and son Zeph. They are attacked by Krugs controlled by the magician Gallian (Ray Liotta). Zeph is killed and Solana is captured. With Norick (Ron Perlman) and Bastian, he sets off to rescue Solana. They meet Elora (Kristanna Loken) in the forest. King Konreid (Burt Reynolds) is undermined by his scheming nephew Duke Fallow (Matthew Lillard) who is in league with Gallian. Merick (John Rhys-Davies) is the King's right hand man but his daughter Muriella (Leelee Sobieski) had also been seeing Gallian in secret.I probably gave this an extra point because I actually played the video game. Uwe Boll is a horrible director. This movie has enough money to work. The acting power is there on the screen. Statham is solid. However, this is an Uwe Boll movie. The story is boring. The dialog is horribly clunky. All the royal intrigue is unnecessary. It could have simply be Statham on a quest but that would be too good to be true. There's no way Boll would make anything good.
