In the Name of the King


I am going to forgo a real review of this movie because I believe it speaks only to certain people, but I have compiled a list of questions and if you answer yes to any of these questions, this movie is for you.

When you saw Lord of the Rings did you think "This is cool, but it would be so better with ninjas."

Have you always wanted to see a boomerang get its proper respect as a real battle weapon?

Have you ever wondered what a mountain range would look like if one mountain was raining, one was snow capped and the third was completely sunny?

Have you ever thought "Ray Liotta is cool but I bet as a levitating evil wizard he kicks so much ass."

Ever wondered what Burt Reynolds would look like as a king?

Have you ever pictured Matthew Lillard in a sword fight with an angry black guy?

Do you have an itching to see Jason Statham try and do anything other than be stoic?

Do you want to see a horse get an uppercut?

Do you need to watch Ray liotta make out with and stroke the leg of a girl half his age?

Have you ever wondered how in the world books could make good hand cuffs?

Have you wanted to see two magicians have a sword fight with 8 swords, none of which are being hand operated? Yes, an 8 levitating sword, sword fight!

Do you miss the way the puddy''s from Power Rangers moved?

Have you been longing to see Jason Statham hold Burt Reynolds hand as Reynolds talks about seaweed before dying?


So, if you answered yes to any or all of those questions by all means see this movie. For me, it ranks up there as one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It is certainly a possibility for worst movie of 2008, already. Oh and I only watched it because I saw it for free at my theater.


Oh if you are going to watch it, please stay for the credits. The combination of what sounds like bad 80's ballads and bagpipes is not to be missed. Not to be missed at all!
