Product Description
Dolph Lundgren (The Expendables) stars as Granger, a lethal ex-forces soldier transported back in time to fulfil an ancient prophecy in this action-packed sequel to In the Name of the King: a Dungeon Siege Tale. Summoned to defeat the threatening forces of darkness, Granger finds himself catapulted back to a mystical age where dragons scorch the skies and the only way to fight is in brutal hand-to-hand combat. As he fights his way to the truth, Granger learns that one wrong move could cost him not only his life, but the very future of his world. (Please note the lenticular sleeve is only available for a limited time and while stocks last).

There has been a glut of films with a medieval setting recently, plus Game of Thrones and together with the Skyrim game the bar has been raised very high.
Sadly In The Name Of The King 2 fails to set any new standards. The story follows Dolph Lundgren's Grainger (a retired US Marine in the modern world) as he is pulled back through a vortex to a time which appears to be some years after the original Name Of The King. The plot meanders around and while there's a few twists it's not hard to spot these in advance. Various themes are started but not really expanded on or seen through to conclusion. The ending had me going, "Uhh, is that it?" Almost as if they ran out of money or what we got was a much abridged version of the director's original vision.
The remaining cast seem to have been largely picked from Eastern European C list and are so wooden they make Dolph Lundgren look like Oscar material.
Must have been really low budget as when we eventually get to see a dragon, the effects aren't even as good as BBC's Merlin series.
All in all, I was quite disappointed. If you want to see a movie that takes a character out of the modern day into an ancient time, Army of Darkness takes some beating.

Format:Blu-ray
This is not a direct sequel to the original starring Jason Statham but a completely different story set at a different time!! But its actually quite a good movie in a cheesy kind of way, the sequel is once again directed by the love or hate director Uwe Boll, I never had a problem with the original I thought it was a pretty awesome fantasy romp with an interesting assembled cast. Part 2 stars Dolph Lundgren and Natassia Malthe (bloodrayne 2-3) both who are quite good in their roles and have some witty dialogue, the story is quite good too once it gets going its rather good fun and a good romp right up to the end, this is worth checking out for a bit of cheap fun especially if your a Uwe boll fan. The picture quality on the bluray is sweet and the nice medieval locations look great.

I personally liked this movie. I liked the first one and I seriously don't think that this movie and also the first. Are as bad as everyone makes them out to be. I mean I've seen other dvd fantasy films that are a lot worse! trust me. These movies are fun enjoyable fantasy/action flicks.
Just thought I would write a little review saying something good about the films. Considering some of the bad reviews on here.

In the Name of the King
I would rate this as a poor B movie, at times the acting was wooden and the set of the kings fortress looked as if it was made of cardboard, not worth the money paid for it.
