Worst Movie Ever? At least there were bow and arrows

So after a long and fun filled Christmas day w the family, I sat down late Christmas night to watch my first Blu-ray movie ever. The cover of In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale  looked great and showed Jason Statham who I loved in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking BarrelsRay Liotta and Bert Reynolds had big parts so the movie had a little promise.



The the story follows a man called Farmer (Jason Statham) who fights for his people and then gets mixed up fighting creatures called Krug. That's about all you need to know (besides there are no Boston connections).


One word: Wow. From the script to the acting, this movie was just bad. It was so bad, it was almost laughable at times. I was going to turn it off but felt it was a badge of courage to watch the entire film. What was worse is the DVD version was extended so the movie ran 165 minutes I will never get back. 


The one saving grace for the movie has great effects so it showed off my new Blu-ray nicely. I also got some tips on how to shoot a bow and arrow which is good for helping my son with his new toy bow and arrow set (seriously).
