Uwe Boll's Lord Of The Rings Rip Off In The Name Of The King - Worst Movie Ever

The 2007 Uwe Boll movie In The Name Of The King takes everything you love about Lord Of The Rings, and completely trashes it in favor of non-sensical garbage. Outside of Jason Statham, everything about this travesty will make you angry and hate your life.

This is one of those movies where you have to stand amazed that the producers managed to entice such a talented cast of respected actors to sign up for this thing. But, hell, I'm sure they had fun filming it, however bad the end result may be.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Uwe boll somehow always gets that done. Usually its just one or two named actors that you can put on the posters. Like Udo Kier, Kristanna Loken, Michael Madsen, Meat Loaf, and Ben Kingsley in Bloodrayne, J.K. Simmons in Postal, Don S. Davis, Udo Kier (again), Emanuelle Vaugier and Ralf Möller in Far Cry, and so on. And his non video game based movies do pretty well. He won best international film at the New Yorik International film and video festival with Darfur, Got nominated for a Leo Award for They Wait and got best special effects at the New York City Horror Film Festival for Seed. So he can make decent films if he tries. But this movie has the benefit of a villain where the actor notices how bad the whole thing is, decides to stop giving a damn and just to have fun. Ever seen the D&D movie? Jeremy Irons owns every scene he is on. Or Alan Rickman in Robin Hood. If you cast a good actor as the villain for your shitty movie, be prepared that they notice and just go over the top to make it at least memorable. Or look at the Doom movie (Not by Boll), you got Karl urban and Dwayne Johnson in the leading roles and a soundtrrack by Clint Mansell. That and the FPS scene towards the end make it absolutely worth watching at least once.

The best part is all the characters have different accents despite all being from the same place more or less. Not just regional accents but accents of entirely different continents. They didn't even attempt to have them poorly mimic a single accent which would have been better than what we got.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

When you hear Hugh Jackman when he isn't trying to be vaguely canadian Wolverine and he lets out his aussie accent. Or his theater and musical experience. There is something about theater actors that makes makes them a presence in movies. Possibly because they know how to emit emotions with body language and voice because there are no closeups on the stage. Which makes me sad that we will never see a an X-Men musical adaptation with Hugh Jackman, Patrick Steward and Ian McKellen

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

And leather was a thing in medieval times. Even long before that. It was extremely expensive, much more expensive that fabric-based gear, but if you're basically the king's court wizard you can afford that. And somehow it totally fits into the movie. Not because it's thematically or visually contemporary, but because it is not. The actors bring in all their different accents, the monster costumes are super cheap, we have clearly east asian-inspired martial arts, the whole thing is a hot mess, so the leather jacket fits perfectly into this amalgamation of chaos.

[@Pendragon667]

Well at least the German title "Schwerter des Königs - Dungeon Siege" had the titular video game in the title. (Swords of the Kings / The Kings's Swords - Dungeon Siege) But yes... it was another typical Dr. Uwe Boll movie. Fun fact: Boll is deemed the worst director of Germany while he on the other hand lashes out regualary on his critics. But i give him one thing: the audio commentaries from him of his movies are always fun to listen to.

[@Rizal96able]

I mean, the actors themselves aren't too terrible. I've seen them in other movies and they were decent, if not good. But somehow, in this particular movie... My God. It goes to show the director really plays an important role in whether a movie is good or not. Not just the actors. I'm beginning to understand the reasoning behind Kubrick doing 127 retakes for The Shining.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Yup. And when you combine a tax loophole with cheap franchise licenses for a genre of media you don't care about, this is what you get. There are good video game adaptations and there are good Uwe Boll movies, but the two just don't mix because Boll simply doesn't care about video games.

[@Mizerableklaha]

the most horrifying thing about this movie is Burt Reynold's botched face lift

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

I would rank it as one of the three best Uwe Boll movies. Which isn't a high bar to cross but let me explain. - The movie isn't completely trash in terms of fight choreography. - The story could be adopted decently into a standalone move. - The acting is okay enough - A villain that goes with hammy overacting, which is always a bonus in bad movies. Like Jeremy Irons in the D&D movie who owns every scene he's in. Or Alan Rickman in Robin Hood. There was apoint when Ray Liotta noticed what kind of movie he is in, decided to stop giving a damn, and just went ham on everything he does. If you're the villain in a forgettable bad movie, might as well have fun with it. It is the kind of movie you find while channel surfing on a sunday afternoon. Pretty forgettable, but not so bad that you turn it off. It's not offensively bad, just silly bad. Which puts it pretty high on the Uwe Boll tier list.

In the name of the king, is a unique classic! It's collision of genre, I'll judged casting, questionable performance, dodgy sfx, and what passes for a script make this one of the funniest (albeit unintentionally) films you are ever likely to see. It's ineptitude is truly astounding, setting the bar so high for the filmed fantasy genre, that other more recent inept productions (Rings of Power, the Witcher Blood Origin, and Cursed) have only just fallen short of this benchmark. To its credit unlike these other drab and dour plastic productions, in the name of the King is side splittingly funny.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

One of the Uwe Boll productions that can be genuinely enjoyed, if you go into it with the right mindset.

[@gymcat100]

This is by far the most enjoyable "So bad it's good" of the Uwe Boll movies. Thanks for your hard work making these videos.

[@patta8388]

My favourite is "Postal"

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Yeah, I feel like this, Postal and House of the Dead are probably his best video game movies. They aren't stupidly cheap, they have decent acting, they have decent fight scenes. They aren't good movies, but they are enjoyable movies. Don't go into Dungeon Siege expecting Lord of the Rings. But if you take it for a mediocre direct-to-video fantasy flick and don't think about it too much, it can be fun. I genuinely enjoy the Expendables movies, and that are stupid movies. Basically "what if you like 80s action movies and had infinite money" They are pretty much pure fan service and don't require any thinking. But they are incredibly fun to watch.
