Uwe Boll

[Tiarilir]

Forumfall, please explain to me why there is all this hate towards this movie director?

Okay, I know he's done a few bad movies, but what else is there making him such a hated person? I honestly don't know, and would like to hear what you think.

[Yamamoto]

Seriously, rent this movie: In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale. It'll fix any notions that you had toward this man into disgust and vomit, which would be the right frame of mind.

[Dredgon]

Well all the movies I've seen made him him suck huge hairy Brannoc balls. He's just a very bad movie director and he ruins the essence of the movies.

[Forgin]

look at his movies
he should be put into prison for making more movies

[Tiarilir]

So that's it? He makes bad movies and people hate him for it? Has he made nothing good?

[The-Nit]

IMDB... can you spell it?

[Tiarilir]

IMDB... can you spell it?

Do you think I'm retarded? IMDB can't tell me why people hate him =p

[Viluin]

I hurrd hesa nazi.

[Dredgon]

So that's it? He makes bad movies and people hate him for it? Has he made nothing good?

He's a major piss ant who can't even take a bad critic, didn't you hear about that boxing story?

No, I don't know anything about him.

[Vertigo Vain]

Its not a problem that he makes bad movis. Many do. The people hate him for making exclusively bad GAMING movies based on licenses from different PC and console titles - wich gives bad names and drops shadow on WHOLE genre and reduces chance of someone eventualy making a GOOD gaming movie.

[Barbarossa]

Let's see:

He only makes movies based on video games.

The movies he makes based on good video games instantly become bad movies.

He probably isn't fit to direct an episode of Sponge Bob Square Pants.



Do you need any more reasons why he is hated?

[Temet nosce]

He basically manages to strongarm himself into a position to direct gaming movies then ruins them, without any regard whatsoever for the fanbase. Well beyond some taunting, ignoring criticism, and generally bullshit (such as when he volunteered to box people who disliked his movies, but managed to keep out people who would really pound him)

Also, Tiar? These movies are really, really, bad. I'm not talking garden variety, I mean it takes a special talent to ruin them this badly.

[Tiarilir]

Oh, exlucively making bad Gaming movies actually makes a difference. I can see why he is hated, but I really don't know why some people so passionately hate him. But then again that's what fanbois do, right? ;-)

You need to go rent the movie based on Dungeon Siege - In The Name Of The King

Please rent that, then bump this thread with your massive apologies and perhaps a small vid proclaiming your hatred for him. I mean seriously - how do you screw up that license? Not to mention the other ones he has pissed on over the years.

[jpaz86]

OK here's why people hate him...
Sure he makes nothing but bad movies. Yeah he always makes horrible videogame movies. But the reason why he's such a dimwit fucktard is that HE DOESN'T REALIZE THIS :bang:

He really thinks he's one of the best directors out there, and every time he defends his honor he just makes up bullshit about himself and discredits the directors with real talent.

I don't hate him because he makes bad videogame movies, I hate him because he's a stubborn brat that has no self-awareness, and yet... he still cannot be stopped for some god-forsaken reason.

[Musketeer]

I've always given him a smidgen of respect for the way he gets his films financed.

It's not easy...especially when your films consistently bomb...but he manages to finance all his films himself. Not easy to do in this day and age.

So on the business side of film making...I respect him. Shame he just never has any real vision.

[The Cougar]

I've never seen his movies, but the boxing story is pretty cool so you should look it up in YouTube. He basically challenged all his critics to a boxing match with him and ended up beating at least two of those who accepted to a pulp. Apparently he used to be an amateur boxer and that he weighed at least 50 pounds more than both of them, and he didn't hold back at all.

But yeah, his movies apparently suck so horribly everyone hates him.

I really don't see his way of financing movies as a respectable method. The only reason he's able to do it is mostly because of German tax laws, if his company was in the US he would be done for.

That being said, if he's good at financing movies then he should do just that and leave the directing to someone who has talent. The only thing he has ever said that I respect was when he called Michael Bay a retard... well said, you win that round Boll.

But on the other hand, we could make an infinite list of the dumbest quotes Boll has uttered. Take this gem for example....

"On the Indiana Jones weekend -- May 23 -- we will go out and destroy Indiana Jones in the Box Office! We all know that Harrison Ford is older as my grandpa and his time is up -- would Michael Moore say! Spielberg gets sloppy. We saw that with War of the Worlds (why the f*** the older brother survived?) and also in parts of Jaws, E.T., Munich etc.! My performance in Postal as 'Nazi Theme Park Owner' outperforms easily Ben Kingsley in Schindler's List!"

Now does he sound likable?

[Marilyn]

Uwe Boll buys licenses for videogame movies in bulks and makes terrible movies out of each one of them. What isnt there to hate? He sucks ass and drags the games we loved in the dirt, then takes a shit on them and cuts every scene that made sense to fit in more action.
Oh yeah, and he thinks hes gods gift to the gaming world and that his movies are good. Hes dumb as fuck.

I hate Uwe Boll and so should you!

[Lictor]

Okay, I know he's done a few bad movies

That made me L:DL!

People hate him, 'cause wherever he goes, he leaves a scorched land of a topic for a game-movie, and nobody is going to try to make another film based on that particular game again. And yet, there is more than one game, that deserves (and is capable of) a movie adaptation that could be amazing if done properly.

[Staatsschutz]

his movies suck so bad it hurts. i dont hate him but he just sucks

[losinglife]

So that's it? He makes bad movies and people hate him for it? Has he made nothing good?

not only that, but he gets his hands on game to film rights on what should be excellent oppurtunites, but then destroys it.

[Wickfield]

As stated before me, Uwe Boll is teh suck.

[GRCPan]

Well there is always Jason Friedberg & Aaron Seltzer that seriously should die in a fire, but yes Uwe Boll sucks too.

[Skyborn]

I <3 Tia, this is great trollage!

But seriously folks when you suck at what you are you deserve to be hated. Find something you are good at and do that.

Though I guess one could make the argument that he is good at sucking and is in fact quite prolific.

[angelfang]

He is a supremely talented artist and all of you who bash him should drink an essence of STFU.

Hopefully should Aventurine ever decide to rewrite the lore of Darkfall, they'd hire Uwe Boll.

Postal and BloodRayne were brilliant.

I would counter with Bloodrayne II, fucking vampires with six shooters, sweet merciful xenu please strike down Ewe Boll.

Details. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0896036/)

The man isnt even the ass crack of American film making, he's more like the shit stain leftover from the ass.

Haven't seen that one yet but it's written by a Japanese guy so it shouldn't be too bad.

Like the OP says, it seems like some kind of a trend nowadays to hate on Uwe Boll, there are these groupies on IMDB who follow him around and go to his new movies, leave hateful comments and vote 1 as soon as they can.

[Curcio]

The only movie I saw was House of the Dead... I never thought such bad movies were possible. It should be illegal.

I understand if there was a director that created an occasional bad movie, but this director has ONLY created monstrosities! If I was to rate any single movie he has made, they would all be the worst possible rating the scale would allow. Does that help you put it into perspective?

My favorite quote in the article is, "We will not sell the movie rights, not to you…especially not to you."

He's just a horrible human being and must be stopped.

[Jangang]

I can't say I've ever heard of the guy before. Though I'm not the sort who goes around noting who I don't like. I note who I do like, anyone else is lucky if I notice they exist heh.

[Feyrband]

He makes Max Payne look like an oscar winning video game movie.

[Skyborn]

lulz at the oxymoron

thats pretty good read lol, short and to the point in showing how much of a douche he is.

[Amaryl]

uwe boll makes laughable movies, with a very arrogant attitude.

but lets face it, his attitude is exactly the same as 99% of gamers that troll on forums. "i'm the best and i will fuck you up lol." while they actually plain suck.

maybe people don't like him cause it's a look in the mirror? and instead of seeing the demi-god they perceive themselves to be, the see a bald German dude with a dumb face and a beer gut.

but hey, Let's face it Uwe Boll has some good things in his movies;
1. the SGI and special effects is always top-notch.
2. film techinically it's all pretty sound, though predictable shots.

his bad things;
1. crappy script
2. his way to form casts with great A list actors and mixing them with great B list actors, worn down b list actors and soap actors, and maxing them match like completly crap. turning it all in a mess of epic proportion. (Tara Reid fucked up alone in the dark. Ben fucking Kingsley in Bloodrayne, wtf?)
3. horrible, weird and stupid directing choices. i.e; Michael madsen use of swordfighting in bloodrayne. the rediculous way ninjas are filmed in in name of the king, having 7 seconds away (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjVWPtZ5-gE) as background music during the sex scene between Tara Reid and Christian Slater. and more of those rediculous acts.

Uwe Boll has just insulted us!

And to be honest, the real gamers are the typical download guys, right? They don’t pay anything for movies, because they illegally download the movies. So why I should please these guys? I need the normal audience.

rolfwtf?!?! have you ever seen any of his flicks?

[Wickfield]

rolfwtf?!?! have you ever seen any of his flicks?

obviously not, his cgi is... average at best. I like to think of the cgi team from "I Am Legend" when comparing the two.

yeah wtf.... for a movie that was supposed to be top notch, the cgi just left me hangin in the wind

[Amaryl]

rolfwtf?!?! have you ever seen any of his flicks?

:bang::bang::bang:

Seriously, the shadow creatures in Alone in the dark were very well done. specially for the time the movie was made. that's what you guys are forgetting, you need to put cgi in the year it was made.
There was nothing wrong with the magic effects in "in name of the king"

The nublet doesn't use that much cgi, but it's always or atleast used to be "good".

I haven't seen any of his flicks after In name of the king, since the movies simply suck, as I pointed out.

[Lictor]

He's a furfag.

L:DL. Yes, that would be it!
