A man named Farmer sets out to rescue his kidnapped wife and avenge the death of his son, two acts committed by the Krugs, a race of animal-warriors who are controlled by the evil Gallian. Despite a pretty good and capable cast of actors such as Jason Statham, Burt Reynolds, Ron Perlman, Kristanna Loken and more actors in general this film's silly concept it's just not working at all and even Statham's cool personality can't save him from whatever the heck Uwe Boll had in his mind when he was writing the script for this stupid action film. (0/10)
... View MoreHow do you produce a movie with Jason Statham, Ron Pearlman, Burt Reynolds, and Ray Liotta, to name a few-- and have it turn out this bad???I don't know. Ask Urine Bowles, or whatever the name of the director is.Basically, a dude called "Farmer"(how lame can you get?) goes to avenge his family and save the kingdom of Crapville, or whatever place they supposedly live in. You never feel like you are in a movie-- just a stage behind K-Mart, or in a wooded area outside the local school.Plastic swords, hammy acting, anachronistic speeches/people/objects, and cheesy nonsense abound. Ray Liotta flies around shooting magic power rays at the farmer, and laughing like Dr. Evil. They keep showing the same cut scenes for different events or battles, constantly. The army of bad guys are low-budget orcs that couldn't get hired by Sauromon, apparently, and have no real reason for doing anything-- they are just manufactured to harass and kill humans by Ray Liotta, for some generic or unknown reason. Even LOTR was stupid in this regard-- you never really understand why they kill or harm humans-- they just want to. They don't rape the women, or need human blood, or want the land for development-- in all these stories, they just want to destroy the world of men or some farmers because they are "evil" or bored or something. Well, LOTR uses this too, but it had a budget and awesome battle scenes, etc. This movie has nothing, but some big name actors who will look back with embarrassment at what they did to draw a check that year...
... View MoreWell... the first signs of the film is encourage us to leave this, but the brave ones is surely watch it.Uwe Boll as director, OMG get away! - Jason Statham as protagonist, come on! That actor, who only played one character all of his films, even on his parodies and he just do one thing: Look intimidating, clearly it is good one a poster or a silly action movie... but not here. Not in any demanding movie.Let's see plot, which is clichéd, with the expectation of one cliché, the inn, we can see all, return to plot: Krugs attacked kingdom, sacking the entire village of Farmer (Jason Statham in movie) and kill his son, taken his wife away. Farmer Daimon (I not remembered this, so I seek to his name) and few of his friends go away to release Farmer's wife.LOGICAL FAILS: Krugs have an army, right? They surely had their own guardians, why would think, that a small group able to enter their territory. The magi (in modern clothes) sent the Krug against King Konreid. The daughter of this king in a weird lover of this magi, in a small sketch we can see their relationship, which ended in fault. The King's army attacked the Krug in a forest, aided by the nymphs and some assassin like warriors... (both?) I do not know, exactly. The King died later, naming his lost son (omg cliché) as his heir. Two magi clashes as a low-budget version of Gandalf vs Saruman, and the king's adviser magi fallen. Farmer enters the castle, deal with the evil magi with his followers. Here we knew, that his wife pregnant with his second child, an heir to Farmer.Total eye spit to the original Dungeon Siege 1 - I missed Lady Montbarron as central character - I missed the Utgards - I missed the plot of Legends of Aranna - Clearly they mentioned Ebh, but this Ehb is very cheap compared to the game's Ehb. - I missed the Empire of Stars, the Giants... etc. - Where is the Seck? - Where is undeads, goblins?Thanks for nothing, Uwe Boll.
... View MoreThis is one great example I wished only the trailer would exist. As promising as it looks from the beginning talking about art department. Creating the world of Dungeon siege. The moment the story takes place in the forest, no real attempts of recreating the world as it should be. Uwe Boll produced four feature-length movies in 2007. Instead of creating something solid, he rushed through this project on all levels of movie making. Stay far away from this movie there is so much more to see. For Uwe Boll, I'll advise him to take some movie classes. For the time being, I learned to stay away from any of his projects. Camera and Art department and sound design are kinda good. Story writing, editing, directing, Colour grading, soundtrack are all poorly executed. to me, Uwe Boll proved one thing he managed to have a great cast and made them look bad, one of the biggest sins you can do as a director. Jason Statham proves again his fighting skills are awesome, but he doesn't need this movie to prove it.
