Granger (played by Dolph Lundgren) is taken from his time in the present to be brought to the past to fulfill the prophecy but with the evil forces coming after him, he might not be able to do what he has been foretold of. Even his training during his time as a Special Forces solider does not prepare Granger as he fights against sorcery, evil ninja warriors, and a dragon that all want to stop him on this quest that he has been put on during the past that could change everything in the future. DRAGONS AND NINJAS-KIND OF:
What just had me mystified about this movie was how causal everyone was treating time travel. Granger, who all of a sudden has this ninjas in his house attacking him gets sent back in time through this floating portal where he lands and the first thing that happens is he’s attacked by guys with swords. Yet he just seems to be ok with it all, being back in time, having to fight against magic, and a dragon, it’s all just another day. Not only that but the people in the past don’t seem to mind or care that there’s a guy from the future there. No one is trying to get information from him, there was one person who tried to kill him but it wasn’t because he was from the future and thought of as some evil demon but only because of the prophecy. Though I did like the dragon, it wasn’t in the movie for long but it looked decent, not as real as I’ve seen in some movies but also better than most of these lower budgeted movies. By the end In the Name of the King 2 kind of wrapped up the story, it at least explained why it was Granger that was picked to go to the past, and it was left open for a third movie. |
