Laura Kern, New York Times: Like actors in an amateur stage play, the large, mostly all-star -- or has-been star -- cast of In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale look, rather dazedly, to be playing dress-up. Read more

Scott Tobias, AV Club: Boll has been compared to Ed Wood, but there's nothing personal about his ineptitude; he's just a deal-maker completing a transaction. Save perhaps for his fan club of ironists, movies like In The Name Of The King could only make a ledger happy. Read more

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: The director, Uwe Boll, remains committed to long, dull, mediocre action films. His tenacity is a virtue. Read more

Sam Adams, Los Angeles Times: Uwe Boll isn't the worst director in the world, but In the Name of the King might be more enjoyable if he were. Read more

James Berardinelli, ReelViews: If this isn't Boll's best effort to date, it's better than his usual output. If he can continue to improve, his name may no longer be synonymous with a punch line. Read more

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: Is this movie so god-awful bad that it's hilariously good? Can't be bothered deciding. Figure that's an answer in itself. Read more

Philip Marchand, Toronto Star: The biggest laugh occurred when one prisoner, chained to the wall of a cave, asked another chained prisoner, 'Where you from?' Read more

Hank Sartin, Time Out: Read more

Joe Leydon, Variety: A plodding patchwork of derivative fantasy-adventure, medieval production design, risible dialogue, unimpressive CGI trickery and haphazardly edited action sequences. Read more
