ReelViews
A second-rate regurgitation of "The Lord of the Rings." Everything about it, down to the set and costume design, apes Peter Jackson's epic trilogy. However, while "The Lord of the Rings" was a grand story of scope and power, In the Name of the King feels small in more ways than one. - 30

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Is this movie so god-awful bad that it's hilariously good? Can't be bothered deciding. Figure that's an answer in itself. - 25
Boston Globe
This is the sort of movie where men stand blankly over dead loved ones, then start digging. Masculine stoicism or emotional botox? You decide. - 25

Cultists will be happy to discover that In The Name Of The King bears all the so-bad-it's-good hallmarks of a classic Boll production. - 25
