1/5
"Another lame copy of every crappy sword-and-sorcery epic ever made."  Filmcritic.com  Bill Gibron

D-
"I would like to think that Uwe Boll is not a mentally-challenged individual. However, the incompetence of his movies speaks otherwise."  eFilmCritic.com  Brian Orndorf

1/4
"While it does seem entirely likely that prepubescent boys will dig the heck out of this, In the Name of the King ultimately comes off as a pale carbon-copy of the Lord of the Rings series."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

0.5/4
"In the Name of the King would be irredeemable if not for its near-brilliant ability to give the viewer douche chills for 127 solid minutes."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

F
"Easily lives down to what genre fans have come to recognize as the Boll standard."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2/4
"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."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

1/5
"o Uwe Boll sakateyei allo ena video game, aynanizomenos me tis filodoksies toy gia Arhonta ton Dahtylidion, poy tha mporoyse na perasei os anekto tileoptiko epipedo Irakli, an den thymize toso poly Power Rangers"  Movies for the Masses  Joseph Proimakis

0/5
"Is it any surprise that this film wasn't screened for any critic, anywhere in the free world? But even I was unprepared for the level of suckage this movie produced."  Film School Rejects  Kevin Carr

0.5/4
"A major piece of crap. It shamelessly steals from J.R.R. Tolkien/Peter Jackson, but with none of the intelligence, heart and artistry."  Montreal Film Journal  Kevin N. Laforest

1/4
"Brevity is the soul of camp, and at close to two-and-a-half hours, Boll's film is just too exhausting to be fun."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

0.5/4
"Boll is back and as bad as ever."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

0/5
"Fans looking to ridicule and laugh at the newest Boll adventure will be disappointed after the first 20 minutes. It was funny when it started, then it got boring. Too boring to even laugh at anymore."  Film Threat  Michael Ferraro

.5/4
"Only Uwe Boll would assume that the moviegoing public craved a trashy Lord of the Rings rip-off starring Burt Reynolds and Matthew Lillard, and only he could then manage to make such a potentially riotous endeavor so humorless."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

1/5
"If Burt Reynolds supposedly punched PT Anderson in the nose for the crime of putting him in Boogie Nights, God only knows what he did to Uwe Boll for putting him in Dungeon Siege."  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

1.5/5
"If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Uwe Boll just spent 126 minutes telling Peter Jackson how thin, talented and gorgeous he is."  Cinematical  Scott Weinberg

2/10
"Like all Uwe Boll films, it is terrible. Sadly, it is perhaps not terrible enough."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton
