One of the worst movies ever made and one of only a handful that I have ever stopped watching part way through. There is absolutely nothing remotely redeeming in this pile of garbage. The one thing that absolutely astounds me is how Uwe Boll got Ray Liotta, Jason Statham and Leelee Sobieski (among others) to sing on to this crap.

Sad really, works on a superficial level as a good escapist movie but the script is a rip off of Lord of the Rings in so many ways it is like seeing a bad rip off essay from grade nine turned into a movie by someone who doesn't give a fart they are ripping off Tolkein so totally-kinds makes me wanna cringe-I think it is really about someone trying to make some obscure point about who is better than who-in the world of writers and scriptwriters-too bad their point also happens to be garbage-heres to mindless ego trips-hey there Mr. Jason Statham-you are a great action actor-but ya gots ta do better than follow the leader in some kind of stupid writer bashing aka supporting crap like this as if there was nothing better to do-only really good thing about this film was the scenery-where was that place?

What was he thinking? What was this movie? Garbage I say! Garbage. Even in the end. The movie just ends when you find out who the kings son is. Thats it. Nothing else. Really bad movie. I don't know why ray Liotta would take this role even less Jason Statham. Never Never watch this.

I rented this movie not knowing anything about it. It turned out to possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. The scripting and dialogs were pathetic and embarrassing to hear. The action sequences were not realistic, with the main character killing everything in sight and not getting a scratch. The acting was the worst part. Burt Reynolds as a mighty king? Much like all the other characters, he did not fit his role at all. Ray Liotta was not believable in his role and had the worst lines of the movie. There was also very little character development for all characters. I wonder if the actors are embarrassed they were in this movie -I would be. The scenes did not flow well into one another and the music did not help either. Ultimately, it was a cheap rip-off of Lord of the Rings and bad all round. I would not recommend it at all.

How did so many known actors get together to do such a poor movie? Could have been much better, but lacked a lot of depth.

Worst movie in I have seen in a long time. I thought I know who killed me with lindsey lohan was bad well I would watch that one three times in a row if I had to compare them. Acting was so bad 10 people walked out, teenage mutant ninja turtles in 1991 had better action sequences.

Thought the movie was so bad I got up and left during the first 20 minutes. I don't know what was worse, the acting, casting, or directing. What little expectations I had from reading these reviews were not met to say the least. This movie should have gone directly to Blockbuster or never released at all.

In these days were there is one bad movie after the other I honestly enjoyed it. It keeps you alert and worried about the good guys. To summarize it is not as good as Lord of the Rings but better than the Last Failure of Harry Potter and Spiderman iii.

Ok movie did not walk out like 3 other people. Low budget version of lord of the rings. Worst part for me is when I saw Burt Reynolds as the king , then I knew it was going to suck. All star cast , zero chemistry. Rent it at a 1.99$

I was really hoping this movie would be good even though it's been sitting on a shelf for over a year with no less than 6 re-shoots. It was not good. There are shots right out of Lord Of The Rings. From the orc pits and fires to a shot of travelers walking across the top of a snowy hill with mountains in the background. Too bad the rest of the film wasnt Lord Of The Rings also. Poor acting, bad action, lousy story, and very poor execution makes this more of a must miss instead of a must see. Coming soon too a bargain bin near you.

Hi folks; Where is our B. C. spirit?! A movie made in B. C. ? Go see it and support our theatre! Wether good or bad lets keep theatres alive! I went with mixed views after reading the reviews but enjoyed the entertainment. It is not like "Lord of the rings" but then you do not expect that , do you?! I liked it, good or bad.

Wow, where do I start... The Director blew it. It could have been a very good movie but there was no fluidity, the constant background music (to cover up the bad acting), the poor choice of actors... even if they have all had good roles in the past... maybe not Burt, but the rest have. I don't know how you could rate this more than a 3. I never rate movies on-line but I just had to do it this time to avoid people getting into a bad movie after such a terrible movie.

Very bad film, with terrible acting on all parts, awful story, horrible script. A failed attempt at lord of the rings. Its set in Canada bc so they were stuck with a number of their actors. It always drags a film down.

The scenery and the fight scenes were excellent. The story could have been good, but it seems like it was trying too hard. The dialogue was horrible and some characters seem to be mis-cast. Some acting was good, but overall most were over the top.

HAHAAHA So if you want to watch a spoof on Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, the Matrix, Ong Bak, and some random kung fu movie... this is the movie for you! From the opening scene I knew it was going to be a corny movie and hoped that I could sit through all of it. This did happen, but with me laughing at the bad acting, corny lines and scenes that were just unbelievable. Definitely go see it! I know I gave it a 1/10, but that was for regular plot. 10/10 for comedy of the year!

[ATTENTION: This review reveals content of the movie.]
Hmmm... well, I thought it could better... much better... but nope. As I predicted, this movies was a mix of "Lord of the ring" and " Enter the Dragon featuring Bruce Lee" and Revenge of the Nija. First of all, Jason Statham was very good in his role... but I dont think we should give him another Hero "Epic" movie-like... I mean... aiight... he go charisma... he look focused when he fight... but... you dont do "MUAY THAY" moves and KICKBOXING or NINJITSU in a Epic story... pls... never... do you imagine Bruce Lee In Harry Potter doing flips and round house kicks to all the Wizard out there? No... pls no... UNLESS... it's about a the story of a Martial Art Hero's imaginary Dreams... now "that"... I would understand... but this... was supposed to be a "serious" Epic story with a Wizard (a Mage if you wish) who supposedly wants to Conquer the world with sort-of-a-orcs look alike that they call "Krugs" (I'd say "Frogs" by the look of it) but anyways, the fighting scene were a little poor in the forest... I mean..., there supposed to be 3 LEGIONS of army ( the good ones) fighting the enemy there... but looking closely at the army itself... they look more like... 20... or 24 fightings... I mean, I dont know man... you want to have the feeling that there are alot of peeps fighting out there... not just a pickle of solder... I know you can't fit in 2000 peeps in one screen, but, it's all about the camera view perspective and the way you manage the video settings for each scene... I mean, I aint a movie producer, but when you look at lord of the ring, Peter Jackson manage to change scene by scene where each scene look likes a 10 000 soldier and ennemies battle field... ya know... anyways... and the KING was there... oh please... where were his Legion accompanying him? "pouf"... disappeared... we only Mostly see Jason Statham and the General fighting along side... and that's it... oh yea... and about the costume... I mean, cmon... it could of been better... the monster aint even scary... I mean, I feel like it was a Halloween Costume Party man... anyways, as for the Women (Elves supposed to be perhaps) I was expecting MORE then just VINES balancing from left to right and sliding down the vines... I mean, looked more like "Striptease" pole dancers (And I think they were in real life... Jesus Christ...) ok... first of all, apart from her boobs (the forest woman leader which was the only interest thing to watch) nothing was really impressive for her role... oh man... she was supposed to help the Hero at the end but... the only help she provides is sooo... sooo... sooo... lame... I wont tell you what she did... but My God... I thought she was gonna bring her whole (supposed to be alot of women elves) army to fight along side against the enemy and the Mage with special weapons and arrows and special Forest Warriors with a gigantesque special PLAN or something like that... but nooo... oh my lord... th 5 next minute after this was so... so... oh my god... dont even know how to say this... all she did was... (hmmm... go watch and see... you'll start to laugh) was nothing after all... all that "Hey, me and my chicks are kick some butt today with you... ( ya... sure...) the only butt kicking I guess was nothing else but BUTT-WALKING... oh man, you'll see what I mean... anyways, very disappointed with her role... like I say, all they did is showed they're boobs... so lame... what's next... hmmm... oh yea... haha! The King's nephew (that guy who plays in Scoobie doo: The movie) was so... so... so not his role in this movie... I mean... cmonnn... this guys ruined the whole movie man... yes he's good in comedy movies... but pls... pleaseee... you got to find the perfect "actor" for specific Epic story role man... like I say, you dont want to put Bruce Willis in " The Princess of Barbie World... or Stone Cold in " would you Like to Dance with me? "... cmon man... producers should think better. What else... hmmm... oh yea, the soundtrack... I mean, it could of been better... I felt like they were playing the same soundtrack the whooole time... nothing original... Look at Gladiator... there's a Nostalgic music when Russel Crow is dreaming... or when his family died... and when the Army Attacked the Barbarian at the beginning... or even when the king was killed by his son... you got to put a "proper" soundtrack or song for a specific moment man... I mean, the soundtrack they put in the fighting scene sound like The ARRIVING of BARNEY The DINO-WARRIOR... cmon man... seriously... the only place I loved most in this movie was the time Farmer (Jason)'s father died in the tent... THAT was good... why? Because of the script... the "feeling" the music behind it and what both of them said to each other in a " STAR WARS Darth Vader FINAL words to LUC before he pass away" scene alike made me feel sad... oh yea... I even had tears... now that was good. Thats what we look forward to in great actor... you got to look real man... if you cant cry... if cant be emotional... then you need to practice your craft til you learn to become a true actor... I mean, no disrespect to Jason Statham but... he needs to be more emotional when his son died... I mean, Jason is a serious dude and got no prob with that... but when your son or your wife dies... the reasons your living for man... you gotta cry... do what you got to to man... throw some garlic on your face or eat some as well... tell someone to kick you in the nuts... do something man!!! I mean... every one... every HUMAN would cry in these sad situation... its natural... oh well, that's just one little glitch I didint like... someone you love died and you dont react... thats weird... I wasnt even touched by his facial reaction to his son's grave. Oh well... that's Jason... or maybe its just the script (I guess it is... I HOPE it is...)what can I do... but if it was MEANT to be... I mean, to NOT cry and just to suddenly have the URGE of REVENGE and OUT OF CONTROL killing sensation... they could of at "leat" put some sort of music to make us feel that he's really in pain and angry and wants revenge big time like wanna kill everyone around... ya know... that aint hard to do... I mean I'm a Music Producer myself and I could of done much better for cheaper price for a good EVIL soundtrack revenge sort of... oh well... what else... oh yea... the ending... hehehe... wanna know why I'm laughint? Oh my lord... I wish I could tell you the ending... but I can only tell you this... C-H-E-E-S-Y... yup... at the end I was like... HUH? That's it? Lets go home now? Hahaha... youll see what I mean. Overall, I give 9 on 10 for Jason only... and 0.5 out of 10 for the Producer and script writters for not taking time to understand what a real Epic story is all about... it comes down to 5 on 10 as you can see. Do I type alot you say? Well my friends... it is for your own good. I know what I'm talking about cuz I watch more movies then anybody else on this planet. I watch everything from documentary to science fiction... to action packed, comedy, horror movies... I watch it all. I'm a movie fanatic. I bet you 1$ you'll come out of the theather and say..." Oh shoot... what that guy said on cinemamontreal was right..." then'll you'll probably start to laught like I did... enjoy this movie dear friends. Hmmm, I think it's worth to see... since there's nothing else good to watch nowadays since Lord of the ring and Spider man and Star Wars... nothing good at all. I hope to see another Star Wars episode in the futur before I die... Star Wars 4-5-6 rules all the way. ( I didint like Star Wars 1-2-3... too much computer animation... bad choice for new actor " talking about Samuel L. Jackson" in the role of Master Windou" he diddint belong in that movie man... and Anakin Skywalker in episode 2 and 3 was such a bad actor man I just wanted to Slap him. Oh well... peace.

Worst movie I've ever seen, most of the actors don't belong in this film - they should be in some Italian mob movie- so poorly choreographed, (dialogs are so poor, sometimes I think people are on drugs) the audience was laughing - from an epic adventure movie this movie has fallen short of being a scare movie wana-be (with elements of other movies such as the matrix) the special effects were cheesy - well I could have spent 2h30min doing something more meaningful. Jason Statham tried his best to make this movie sell and I will only acknowledge his efforts.

I really wanted to like this movie; but, it seems to be nothing more than a poor Lord of the Rings rip-off. Some good ideas just didn't pan out, and much of the acting and dialogue was less than satisfactory. This action-filled movie has a fairly predictable plot. There are some good moments, a few exciting scenes and some nice scenery. If you've got a few hours and your friend is paying, perhaps it's not a complete waste of time.
