I think this movie was a fantastic epic adventure! loads of violance but, for kids 13+, i think they can handle it. but for sure, not a movie for 10 or under. I think the actor was GREAT (hi review above me) and he did a good job, exept in a few parts...where he sucked. I think the message that the good guys always win is a nice reminder, in the world today.

What Parents Need to Know
About In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale
Parents need to know that this is an epic fantasy adventure in the style of The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Despite the overwhelming number of negative reviews, tweens -- especially boys -- may want to see it, partly thanks to English action star Jason Statham (The Transporter). There are several intense, violent battles between orc-like creatures and the kingdom's army and civilians, but very few bloody deaths (it's obvious that many, many people die, but it's not graphic). The sexual content is limited to three or four kissing scenes between two couples -- two of which occur in a bed. The language is remarkably tame, and, this being a fantasy flick, there are no product tie-ins.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how this film was influenced by The Lord of the Rings movies. In addition to the presence of John Rhys-Davies (who played Gimli in Rings and is Magus Merick here), what scenes, characters, or themes reminded you of LOTR? Do you think the similarities were intentional? Why? Also, is the violence in this movie realistic or not? Why does that matter? Does the lack of strong language and graphic violence mean this film is targeted at younger audiences?

I couldn't lose brain cells, because my brain shut down! HORRIBLE!
the casting and script were horrible. i was looking forward to seeing decent epic and when burt reynolds pops up immediately and matthew lillard tries to play this part, i knew it was doomed from the first minute. i don't care how smart this director thinks he is, but i know he stinks!
