	Media	Author	Review
		Laura Kern The New York Times	"An awkward 'Lord of the Rings' knockoff, it features both elaborate battles and bumbling humor, though it’s never quite clear when you should be laughing."
		Wesley Morris Boston Globe	"Medieval tale assaults viewers' patience. (...) Boll, remains committed to long, dull, mediocre action films. His tenacity is a virtue."
		Joe Leydon Variety	"A plodding patchwork of derivative fantasy-adventure, medieval production design, risible dialogue, unimpressive CGI trickery and haphazardly edited action sequences"
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"It's completely undone by its terrible screenplay, inept direction, oppressive musical score and muddy visual palette"
		Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle	"It's as if someone had thrown a whole lot of money at Ed Wood and let him go wild, minus the angora."
		Maitland McDonagh TV Guide	"Director Uwe Boll sticks with what he knows -- how to turn video games into dull, cheap-looking movies (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"
