A Little Review

I started watching a movie last night with Jason Statham in it called In the Name of the King.  I figured with Jason Statham in the movie, it's gotta be pretty good, right?  At least good action if nothing else.  Man, was I ever wrong.  

To give you a clue about how bad this movie was it also has Ron Perlman and Matthew Lilard.  That's right, I said Matthew Lilard, who has only ever done well in one role, Shaggy from Scooby Doo.  And the only decent job I've ever seen Ron Perlman do in a movie was when he played Hellboy, even then I wasn't a big fan.

Even the actors that would normally do at least a decent job in a film seemed to have gone out of their way to make the movie as completely painful as possible, and I only watched about 30 minutes of it before I couldn't take the torture anymore.  

I wonder if this movie was made as a joke and was not intended to be taken seriously.  If this was the case, then congratulation everyone, you did a FANTASTIC job!
