In the Shame of the King


Remember how I brought you the bad news that Dolph Lungren would “star” in Uwe Boll’s direct-to-DVD sequel to In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, succinctly titled In the Name of the King 2: A Dungeon Siege Tale: Two Worlds (or, as it’s apparently known in France, In the Name of the King 2: A Dungeon Siege Tale: King Rising)? Well, the trailer is out, and I don’t want to rock anybody’s world, but it looks kind of terrible. I do appreciate Dolph Lundgren’s performance as the modern soldier teleported through cheap, ’90s basic cable special effects into a world of equally cheap, ’90s basic cable medieval fantasy, a performance which seems to be consist entirely of an equal  mix of confusion and annoyance. Although if I found myself starring in a shitty Uwe Boll movie, I’d be confused and annoyed as well, so maybe acting has nothing to do with it. (Via Twitch)
