A Universal Soldier in King Arthur’s Court
 |
?I regret to inform you that the terrible In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege movie has a sequel, also directed by Uwe Boll. In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Movie 2: Two Worlds stars Dolph Lundgren, who should really be above this sort thing by now, but that’s not the sad part. The sad part is the plot:
Dolph Lundgren (The Expendables, Masters of the Universe) stars as Granger, a lethal,
ex-Special Forces soldier who finds himself transported back to a mystical age of sorcery, dragons and savage hand-to-hand combat. This modern-day warrior has been summoned to defeat the forces of darkness and fulfill an ancient prophecy. But as he fights his way to the truth, Granger learns no one can be trusted — and one wrong move could cost him not only his life, but the future of his world.
Leave it to Uwe Boll to make the Dragon Siege movie franchise dumber. ItNotK:ADSM2:TW will go straight to DVD and Blu-ray on December 27, so that no one has to receive it for Christmas.
