Uwe Boll is the new Ed Wood. Scratch that he makes Wood's movies seem good. Another video game adaptation that is a resounding failure. Horrible movie.

I know it is all to cool too hate Boll, but the real problem with this is the script, not just direction. Without the laughable dialog, this would only be mediocre bad. Sure a lot can be blamed on the script(deserving of blame), but all these actors are very poor as well. If not for the length, it would have been fun.

I think the budget was spent on the cast and special effects so there was little left for a script, let alone to hire a decent director. The special effects are pretty incredible. The battle scenes are well choreographed and the music isn't half bad but then you find scenes like the one with Kristanna Loken as Elora, a vine swinging tough chick who declares that men are not welcome in her forest and has the screen presence of a stick.
Ray Liotta gets the biggest laughs as he tries desperately to be the insane baddie. I just couldn't take him seriously and I am not sure he could, either. Maybe he needed the money?
To my surprise the saving grace of this whole fiasco is Matthew Lillard ("Scream") who shines as the sniveling, traitorous, Duke Fallow. Yes, he plays it over the top, but in a snooze fest of performances, Lillard can't help but shine.
