I would like to think that Uwe Boll is not a mentally challenged individual. However, the incompetence of his movies speaks otherwise.

Hes made an epic, of a sort, and if you see it with appropriately lowered expectations you might just walk out not hating it.

Easily lives down to what genre fans have come to recognize as the Boll standard.

Statham, in particular, carves up the Krug as if theyre walking portions of steak tartare.

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.

Boll clearly still has no idea how to direct or edit a movie, but there is evidence to suggest he has at least learned how to shoot one.

A major piece of crap. It shamelessly steals from J.R.R. Tolkien/Peter Jackson, but with none of the intelligence, heart and artistry.

Worse than a high school production of Lord of the Rings and as incoherent as a Miss Teen USA contestant.

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.
