In the Name of the King starring Jason Statham, Claire Forlani, Ron Pearlman & Ray LiottaIf you're a Jason Statham fan, you might be disappointed by this movie. To quote Evan, "It's not his best work" (HA! LMAO. Future movie critic?) It's like Lord of the Rings except with a retarded story and implausible action scenes. I can't think of a single redeeming thing to say about this movie. If I were you, I'd wait until it's on TNT or something to see it.
Gran Torino starring Clint Eastwood.
If you're a Clint fan like me, buy it. If you just want to see a good movie, rent it.
What a pity. I love Statham to pieces and its a let down that he has a bad flick. Actually, I didn't like Crank too
ReplyDeleteGrace - Crank was a POS. I bought it because of Statham and sold it after watching it once. I wish he'd stick to Transporter-like movies & stay away from the fantasy stuff.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe they made a 2nd Crank, LOL.
I'm not too sure, but I think In The Name Of The King is a movie version of the video game, I may be wrong but maybe that's why it's a bit lame, I watched it on Sky and wasn't overly impressed, Crank 2 is as mad as the first one, but I agree he's best in the Transporter movies.
ReplyDeleteI really loved Gran Torino but I thought the kids lacked a little spark, maybe it was inexperience. I'll take your advise & watch In the Name of the King when it's on tv or in the $1 section.
ReplyDeleteBlazing - Had I known that "King" was based on a video game, I wouldn't have gotten it (even though it was only $3). I don't like video game movies. Doom is the one exception I can think of.
ReplyDeleteI won't be seeing Crank 2 because I hated the first one so much, LOL.
Jane - I really didn't pay attention to the kids, LOL. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Clint Eastwood. I was just amused by his growling. :-)
