Well, the fact is, if you hire Uwe Boll, your movie is going to fail. Regardless of source material or whatnot. Boll should have stuck to boxing.

He's managed neither. Never a movie that is actually good, and he has never made anything but pocketchange profits. In fact, he has likely lost tens of millions on an average.thenumberthirteen said:
And this proves that Chris Taylor finally has crossed the boundaries of sanity, and now spends his time somewhere between crazy and mindfucked. "I don't care if my IP, which I have poured my heart and soul into, and which has many dedicated fans, is raped by the worst director in existence; I'm happy as long as I get to meet Ray Liotta and Jason Statham."
Yeah, thanks a lot asshole.
Hey, Chris Taylor, glad you're so thrilled. But maybe, just maybe, you should regret the horror you inflicted on those of us who watched that horrible piece of trash?
Yes, I knew what I was getting into when I rented it. Still you should take some responsibility for those mental scars. That kind of damage never really goes away.
Watching the movie, you get the overwhelming sense that Uwe Boll watched The Lord of the Rings trilogy and tried to ape it without understanding in the least what made that trilogy good.

To be slightly fairer to the movie, Rotten Tomatoes gives a 35% to "Krull," which is no better, if not worse in all repects.
Uwe Boll casts a repulse aura on his movies, and people will automatically rate his movies lower than needed. Indeed the above posts go so far as to invoke his name for comedic effect. Welcome to the internet.

Honestly, if Uwe Boll said he wanted to direct a movie based on something I wrote, I'd jump at the chance. The man is the German Ed Wood! He's just too freakin' cool. Fifty years from now, people will still be watching his cheeseball movies and laughing their butts off 
That said, I'd still give him my crappiest script ;-) No sense in wasting the good stuff.

There is a kind of logic to that thought process. If you can't be famous might as well be infamous, I guess. It would be kind of cool to have your movie torn apart by a future version of MST3K.Otterpoet said:Honestly, if Uwe Boll said he wanted to direct a movie based on something I wrote, I'd jump at the chance.

I still think Uwe Boll would be better served by society as gas station attendant then a movie director.
"Hollywood stars such as Burt Reynolds and Ray Liotta appeared in the film, as well as lesser known but respected genre actors like Ron Perlman and Jason Statham..."
Tanslation:
"Your parents point at me when they want an example of an old person."
Seriously how anyone under 40 could regard Statham or Perlman as "lesser known" than Liotta or Reynolds is simply mind boggling.
As for the movie, I agree that it was a good idea to go ahead and make it, because like he said you can't paint your masterpiece on the first try, but atleast they're trying.

Yep. Because $50 million to meet those two is TOTALLY worth it.hansari said:
OT: I don't hate Uwe. I hate his movies, but I don't hate him after that Loading Ready Run interview.
I haven't seen Eragon yet, but I cannot imagine it being that much worse than the Dungeon Seige film and have said as much [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.160968-IT-CAME-FROM-NETFLIX-In-The-Name-Of-The-King-A-Dungeon-Siege-Tale#4084719].JaredXE said:
Why uwe... most games consists mainly of killing stuff, , why not get a director who knows how to make movies about killing stuff in a good way? Someone who can make fighting a bunch of trash mobs before teh boss look interresting on screen...
If anyone could make a good movie out of a game, Tarentino is where i would put my money.

Watching this movie I didn't even know Uwe Boll directed it. I like it. It's good. The actors carry it very well I think. I don't get why people bash it so much. I personally think it's ripped on simply because Uwe Bolls name is attached to it so people jump the band wagon of hate.
