“Golden palm of mockery”!
For Caine78:Should we laugh or cry? For fun, sorry? To be honest, I really don’t know. Probably a bit of all of these at once. Because I have to admit that I wasn’t “disappointed” with my first Uwe Boll film, even though the expected peak of nullity could have gone even further.”
For Jeremgar, Uwe Boll’s film even deserves a Palme d’Or for mockery: “So, we’re looking for… script? no!, special effects? no!, scenes (natural or not)? no!, actors? no! soundtrack? no more!… really, nothing this pure Turfang could play us.. .To make a funny point, King Rising would have been a Palme d’Or!“
And at the box office, the film, which has a budget of $60 million, is a real failure, as it only earned $13 million at the international box office. However… Uwe Boll will make two sequels to his heroic fantasy film, but without Statham.
In 2011, the filmmaker released King Rising 2: The Two Worlds with Dolph Lundgren and rated 1.2/5 stars. In April 2021, Uwe Ball introduced King Rising 3, ridden by Dominic Purcell. The Prison Break actor plays an assassin who is plunged into the Middle Ages because of a medallion. The movie is rated 1.5/5 stars.
