Movie review:
- Filipe Manuel Neto: **Fight…until the end of the movie.
- After successfully finding some redeeming value in the first film, In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Story, I decided to also give its sequel, also directed by Uwe Boll, a chance, which I thought, might is a sequel worthy of the first film. However, perhaps due to the first film’s popularity with the public, brutal budget cuts fatally wounded the production. However, these considerations did not make the director aware of his own weaknesses. Boll may not be a completely incompetent guy, and I don’t know him well enough to judge him, but I’ve come to realize from these two movies that he’s not particularly great.
- The script takes us back to the Kingdom of Ebu and the events surrounding this fantasy kingdom’s crown, when a former U.S. Special Forces soldier is accidentally sent there. The whole story is weak and contrived, and the characters behave in very stupid, unnatural ways. In fact, these characters are just figures and faces without any personality, and we know very little about them and even less care about them. There are some attempts at action, but I believe even the original video game was more exciting and intense than what we’re given here.
- The cast is led by Dolf Lundgreen, an actor I don’t particularly like and who is far from the versatile, skilled professional I consider him to be. He might even be, but in the hands of a director who can squeeze that kind of thing out of him. The actor had no difficulty playing the role, especially since he seems to be the only least experienced professional around, but his performance is very weak. Lochlyn Munro, who should have been a more distinguished person, could not have been more imposing than a fifteen-year-old on a first date. The rest of the cast, especially the actresses, aren’t even worth mentioning. Amateurism is a good term to describe what they do.
- Technically speaking, we have to lament the poverty of what the Franciscans have to offer us: cuts in production budgets necessarily mean lower costs, which could explain why everything looks so theatrically fake: from the costumes to the weapons and props , this film is a carnival where only the sets and filming locations could have been saved, carefully chosen, or expertly created in CGI. There’s a lot of CGI here, including a dragon, and some investment in these resources was made, perhaps due to a lack of budget for further development. The cinematography makes the most of these elements, but you never get the sense of confidence, confidence, and originality that the original film’s cinematography made the audience exude. The soundtrack works well, but it doesn’t have the fun or sound that was used in the first film.
