Franchise Uwe Boll. The film is the first "In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale". Actors

Most of the films of director Uwe Boll cause resentment and severe criticism from both experts and film critics, and from ordinary viewers. Sometimes he is referred to as "the worst director of all time and people", and the comparison of Ball with Ed Wood, which removes hackneyed pictures, is also difficult to call a compliment. The screen versions of Uwe Boll regularly fall into the TOP-100 site imdb. The actors of the movie "In the Name of the King" (franchise) refuse to comment on this matter, because they collaborated with Uwe Boll at different times.

The first film of 2006

"In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale" (actors of the foreground D. Steiteym, D. Ris-Davis, M. Lillard, L. Sobieski, R. Perlman) is a film directed by Uwe Boll based on computer games by Dungeon Siege.

This creation of Ball can not be called worthless, if only because of a good cast. The protagonist was played by Jason Stewem, who, frankly, is more suited to the role of inexorable guys in modern fighters, but in this picture as a farmer he looked organically, convincingly and pleasantly in all respects. A more vivid and memorable character was created by Matthew Lillard - a cheerful actor with an outstanding comic talent. Ron Perlman in this film does not shine in comparison with "Hellboy", but his colorful appearance and courageous appearance of few people (especially among the spectators) will leave indifferent. Lily Sobieski and John Rees-Davies are unmatched, surprising that their filmographies are mostly filled with minor, empty films. Not impressed by Claire Forlani, who failed to pass the pain of loss, Kristanna Loken, whose forest resident Elora turned out extremely fresh. Ray Liotta in the guise of the magician Gallian did not look threatening and terrible.

In general, the cast is quite strong, there are no special claims to their playing and revealing the characters' characters. One of the merits of the film "In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale" - actors.

Plot

The story behind the script is interesting and remotely like the Lord of the Rings. The protagonist is a simple farmer, Damon, after the treacherous attack of orcs called crooks, wants to get to the evil magician Gallian and get even with him for killing his son and kidnapping his wife Solana. Help the hero to help the friends - Norik and Bastian. Next, there will be a bit of magic and a lot of battle scenes, duels and an almost successful ending. And if you consider that the director of combat choreography was Siu-Tang Chin ("The House of Flying Daggers", "Hero"), then there is definitely something to look at.

Sequel 2011

"In the Name of the King 2" (actors: D. Lundgren, L. Monroe, N. Malta, K. Yastrzhembsk, A. Paunovich) - the sequel to the sensational first part. Director Uwe Boll continued to please and annoy his fans at the same time. To please the output of the continuation and disappoint with the quality of the direction. But this is precisely why his original approach to the embodiment of author's non-standard ideas is interesting.

Unfortunately, from the first part "In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale," the actors in the second part did not change their minds, probably, they were afraid of suddenly surging wave of universal adoration and love. The director did not lose his head and called for a movie veteran, a star of militants of the 80s and 90s Dolph Lundgren.

Advantages and disadvantages of the sequel

Lundgren - the only one of the cast, who showed professionalism and skill. He showed all the emotions of his character, unlike colleagues who were present in the frame with wooden faces.

In the film there are three main locations - the forest, the castle and the camp of the army of darkness. All of them look extremely cheap, just like the costumes of characters, similar to rags, and not on combat armor. While watching this picture, one involuntarily recalls with a nostalgia the first part of "In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale": actors, beautiful scenery, breathtaking landscapes.

The work of the operator Matias Neumann was also awarded a lot of criticism, during the action scenes the viewer absolutely does not understand what is happening. If in the first part this shortcoming paid off with the presence of chic landscapes, then the second, except for the unimpressive forest and the ridiculously looking castle, can offer nothing.

The plot of the sequel

Scenario film "In the name of King 2" the actors received immediately after the signing of the contract, before they were only familiar with the abbreviated version. The whole story revolves around the personality of the protagonist - the former military Granger, who now teaches the martial arts skills of children. One day, through the portal, he enters the magic kingdom. There he meets and the evil king, and warrior princess, and all the other standard set of fairy-tale heroes. Granger will have to deal with the main villain and save the world.

The third part of 2013

In 2013, the third part of the cycle comes out with a predictable title "In the Name of the King 3" (actors: D. Purcell, R. Paskaleva, D. Simeonov, P. Gotchev, M. Dacov). In the third episode of the franchise permanent director Uwe Boll managed to remove Dominic Purcell. How he managed to attract the star of the TV series "Escape" to work on the project - is unclear. His hero, mercenary Hazen Kane, according to the narrative, is transferred in the time of the existence of real dragons. He is to save the inhabitants of the kingdom and traditionally - the whole world.

Among the other actors Ralitsa Paskaleva stands out, embodying the image of the lady of the heart of the main character.

The impression of watching the movie hopelessly spoils a terrible lack of taste in the selection of costumes for the main characters. The scenery is cheap, creates an eerie unnatural entourage. Graphics are disgusting.

Unfortunately, the plot narrative boils down to banal reception - the contemporary hero is transferred to the past where he has to overcome the villain. And this story is rather tasteless, from the happening on the screen inexorably pulls into a nap. And the name of the picture does not justify itself, since the characters are fighting each other clearly not in the name of the king.

The provocateur director

With the appearance of each subsequent part, the optimism of others and the belief that the next Ball project will be brilliant, dissolves like a morning haze, the harsh reality proves the opposite. It seems that Ball intentionally provokes others, so all his films are so disgusting. Critics vying to predict his career decline, the disappointed viewer swears that he will not go to his creations for any mushrooms. And Uwe Boll listens and continues to shoot.
