Why Did “In the Name of the King” Fail?

by thought on January 12, 2008

Have you seen, “In the Name of the King,” yet? No, you say… Well you didn’t waste two hours of your life on rubbish.
This movie goes to show every movie watcher that big actors don’t make a great movie. On top of that, big directors nowadays don’t even make great movies. Let’s take a look at this guy Uwe Boll. Somehow he gathered up a ton, and I mean a ton of big actors to play in this movie. If you didn’t catch that last part, I mean a ton:

  • Jason Statham … Farmer
  • Leelee Sobieski … Muriella
  • John Rhys-Davies … Merick
  • Ron Perlman … Norick
  • Claire Forlani … Solana
  • Kristanna Loken … Elora
  • Matthew Lillard … Duke Fallow
  • Brian J. White … Commander Tarish (as Brian White)
  • Mike Dopud … General Backler Will Sanderson … Bastian
  • Tania Saulnier … Tawlyn
  • Ray Liotta … Gallian
  • Burt Reynolds … King Konreid

You may not have heard of all of the actors above, but you will have seen them in a movie or two beforehand. I spent a majority of the movie just trying to pinpoint what movies these actors had previously been in. I would have thought that directors would know using this many big actors would tear the plot apart and turn the movie into an attention-fest.

If the excess of cameos wasn’t enough, try taking a watery plot and sprinkling it with quick fight scenes that make your head actually spin.

The scary thing is that Uwe Boll is actually still making movies and has at least seven he is putting his hand into right now.

One thing I’ve noticed is that often there are plenty of myths regarding the banks intentions any time talking about foreclosures. One fable in particular is that often the bank needs to have your house. The financial institution wants your hard earned dollars, not the house. They want the money they loaned you having interest. Preventing the bank will simply draw a foreclosed conclusion. Thanks for your write-up.

Thanks for your post. My partner and i have often seen that a majority of people are desirous to lose weight because they wish to look slim and also attractive. On the other hand, they do not often realize that there are other benefits for you to losing weight as well. Doctors declare that fat people have problems with a variety of illnesses that can be perfectely attributed to their own excess weight. Fortunately that people that are overweight and also suffering from diverse diseases can reduce the severity of their own illnesses by losing weight. It’s possible to see a gradual but noticeable improvement with health as soon as even a bit of a amount of fat reduction is obtained.
