Why Is In the Name of the King - A Dungeon Siege Tale Rated PG-13?
Although this film contains some brief depictions of alcohol use, a drunken royal and an attempted poisoning along with some exposed cleavage, parents greatest concern will likely be the ongoing and often brutal battles between the Krugs and humans. Under the command of Gallian, these monstrous beasts slash their way through the countryside, killing, pillaging and abducting prisoners. Characters are stabbed, shot with arrows, beheaded and set on fire. Frequent swordplay and hand-to-hand combat are portrayed along with corpses. Infrequent profanities are used.
