In the Name of the King


Wow. [<--in this case, it's not a good "wow".] I watched "In the Name of the King" Sunday and...I wasn't really impressed. I think the funniest thing was near the beginning. There's this dark stuff at the beginning and then all the sudden--hobbiton music and a father and son doing stuff in their garden! Okay, it wasn't the EXACT hobbiton theme from Lord of the Rings but there was a flute and everything! I couldn't believe it--it was really cheesy.

The movie was just kind of...weird. Characters would say things that were just WAY out of their character! Like the main guy's young son said near the beginning [maybe not exactly this but something close], "I'm glad Dad has a family now. I'm glad we're his family." Awww! *rolls eyes*

???

Then, later on, the older kind of tough guy says to the main guy's wife, "At the end of the day, all he needs is you."

???

WHAT? It just didn't make any sense!

That might even be worse than when in "The Day after Tomorrow" [a movie with an agenda about global warming, which is confusing because it's about a giant ice storm--go figure] this teenage guy says to Jake Gyllenhall's character, "Sam, just tell her how you feel." Who says that? Even better--what teenage guy says that?

"In the Name of the King" was just a weird movie that was funny--but for the wrong reasons.

Wow, that does sound really cheesy. You'd think if everyone else thinks that it's cheesy, that maybe the writers/actors/whatever would be able to tell that it's cheesy, but, you know, whatever.

Also, I loled at the "Just tell her how you feel." It's so full of cheese. I can almost guarentee you that no guy (much less a teenage guy) says that. But then again, I don't know didly squat about the world of love so, I would be the last person to go to to tell you whether or not someone says that.
