In the Name of the King

I saw a movie poster at the theaters with Jason Stathom on it and immediately thought it was going to be a good movie. Then I saw the reviews and cast on IMDb and and supposedly this movie is one of the worst, usually the forum members are douche bags who praise nothing else but the Godfather series and The Sopranos. Then I read up on who directed it; Uwe Boll, and does this man know how to make garbage. I figured it had some positive reviews with the cast and plot, and I guessed wrong.
Generally, I enjoy action scenes and plenty of gore, but I have watched his movies, and they suck. He uses an excess amount of blood, and the worst part is, the movies are to be taken seriously, usually excess blood/gore is supposed to be funny in a good way, they're movies meant to be cheesy.
Gah, I thought this movie had potential. Poor Boll, hated by a lot, you'd think he'd stop. For a movie that had a 60+ million dollar budget, it's not even grossed in 10 million, only 4.5.
Your thoughts?
