Uwe Boll- Really A Great Guy

[Lord Beautiful]

This is perhaps one of the most hyperbolic of satirical pieces I've ever seen.

Disregarding the callings of whether you're a troll or not, I'll assume that what you're saying is true to your word.

Firstly, even if you do absolutely adore Uwe Boll's films, calling him a "high caliber director and brilliant man" and his films "The scripts for these films were brilliant, the art direction and cinematography was golden, and the overall directing, by the man himself, was somthing that greats like Speilberg and Lucas can take some lessons from." is a bit crazy, even if you do absolutely love Boll's films.

If you knew that everyone hates Boll, then surely you should have known that saying that his films are "golden and absolutely brilliant" would make you be labeled as a troll?

So, just because my opinion is unpopular, I should stay quiet? Just because I seem to diverge from the status quo, I am a troll? Are my opinions invalid because they are different?

Shouldnt I be able to post my opinions, and be able to have a resonable convorsation about them? I thought I could, but I guess that I expected the wrong things...

That's not what I meant, I'm sorry if you interpreted that way. Frankly I've never seen a Boll film and I could care less if they're horrible or not.

I meant that, even for a world-renowned director that everyone in the world loves, calling that person the "greatest director who ever lived" and that their "films are gold wrapped around in diamond" is a stretch even for the fanatics.

You can love Uwe's films for all I care, but putting the previous examples on a world-hated director makes you seem like a troll to the masses. You seemed more enthusiastic (for lack of a better word) than you should have been since you sounded like you were being extremely sarcastic.

Again, I'm not saying that you're a troll, hopefully you aren't, love Boll's films for all I care. I'm just saying you came off as a little overzealous which is sometimes a sign for trolling.

By the way, Triv, thank you...

No problem I had similar trouble earlier with a thread about Twilight, when the OP failed to realise that creating a Twilight thread would simply attract flamers and trolls and so on. I'm merely a great believer in free speech and free opinions

Anywho, there is at least ONE horrible game-to-movie conversion he's not responsable for...

And to the younger readers - if you're wondering why you never heard of it, its because our generation as a whole decided it was so awful, so truly trite, so shite, that we did not speak of it again, least we burden you with the knowledge.

Best.

Movie.

EVAR.

Oh dear... I recommend you don't see it - its far better to imagine how good it is than to watch...it.

 

[Doug]

I don't know, he responds to negative criticism by beating them in boxing.

That's not the most intelligent of moves.

It is, if he's strong and can move in the ring *cough-and lacks any valid counterargument or defense of his 'work'-cough*

That's not what he's saying. He's saying that you should have expected this reaction. And after your little escapade on IRC while I tried to explain why I didn't like him but didn't hate him, you just assumed I hated him and refused to hear any different. That makes your opinion invalid. The fact that you refuse any other possible opinion as valid means that I can't take you seriously. The fact that you hold a bias that has been pointed out to you, that you are consciously aware of, and that you could very easily suspend at least momentarily, but refuse to, means that you are considering your opinion to be fact. You are complaining that you think people are saying you aren't allowed to post your opinion, and yet when we voice our dissenting opinion you get angry and refuse to listen. That is why your opinion no longer holds any value.

EDIT: I just realized what you remind me of. Fox News. I'm serious.

I have seen it actually.

The nightmares didn't stop for a week and a half.

Ah, I see - I assume you still have flashbacks too? Featuring the ridiculous rocket boot things?

 

[Chaingang]

now, im the last person who would want to hurt someone's feelings, but you must be absolutely anencephalic to actually believe what you just said. sir, have you played far cry? does it in any way resemble the old west? yes, jack carver, macho cowboy with supermutant powers beating the hell out of indians. and having the ability to jump five stories was completely normal back then.


think about what you post before you post it. if you post it, they will hate.

 

[hagaya]

Anybody question his choice of language? "High-Caliber, Brilliant, Golden, etc. Those aren't adjectives people normally use to describe something seriously nowadays. Also, the vocabulary of the Post itself contradicts the subject "Uwe Boll- Really A Great Guy." If he actually meant the things he was saying he wouldn't have said Uwe Boll was, is, and forever shall be the best director ever.
I'm pretty sure this is a joke.

 

[Agayek]

Ah, I see - I assume you still have flashbacks too? Featuring the ridiculous rocket boot things?

Sometimes, yea. Most of the time though, it's flashbacks to human-Bowser taunting the strange fungus the king was turned into. No idea why.

 

[Nmil-ek]

Are you joking? please tell me you're joking... Alone in the Dark had to be one of the worst films of 2005 possibly only outdone by Gigolo. The second rate actors (Tarra Reid, Christian Slater) the way he remorselessly tacks on these terrible plots of his own device rather than follow scource material what the hell was all that about native american tribes? hidden artifacts? the darkness what?

And his editing oh my god.. all that ingame foootage during house of the dead, those terrible game over screens. So many bad memories.

This man who is, in my opinion, surely the greatest director of our or of anytime before or forever into the future.

Are you exagurating that? Or taking the piss?

Because if not...

I mean, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but seriously?

I can see why many in the thread suspects you of trolling, including me. Don't take offence at that if you aren't a troll. You just really seem like it's written to take the piss by making it massively over the top.

 

[pieeater911]

Wait... is it April Fools day or something?

Did my LSD just now kick in or did that guy actually say he liked Uwe Boll and his movies?

I might go cry in a corner for a while now.

 

[Mozared]

Dear OP, I have just a simple question to you

Did you see "In the name of the king"? Did you see any of the Lord of the Rings movies? If yes to both, did you ever stop to compare the two?

Seriously, the concept for In the name of the king is great, but what Boll did to it is horrible. The movie barely has any plot - it races from one battlefield imitating LOTR to another often without giving any decent reason to do so. The whole battle in the forest was completely unnessicary.

Aside from being unlogical, the plot is extremely predictable as well - I literaly saw the movie and predicted every upcoming scene correctly. Last but not least, the plot is hollywoodlike and unoriginal - main hero meets main villain, superfight, yadayadaya, everything ends up right.

Then there character development which is nearly non-existant - while you don't always need it to make a good movie, if your main character changes in the first five minutes of the film and remains the same for the other two hours, you *are* doing something wrong.

The problem with Boll is that he attempts to do 'revolutionary' things but keeps failing horribly at them, resulting in scenes of which simply do not work. I do not wish to diss the OP since he's obviously a decent chap, but if you have seen epic movies like LOTR and this piece of dung Boll has made, you wíll like anything better than this - if you don't, you are seriously missing out on a lot.

 

[Chaingang]

Slowly but surely, Uwe Boll is giving cancer to everyone through his horrible movies. You must have been sheltered as a child. I seriously think that this person is doing this just to get thread views and comments, because no matter who you are, you know Uwe is a scab on the ass of the world. I heard he had the contract for the Halo movie. I was fully about to quit gaming for life when I heard that. Then I heard that Peter Jackson would be directing it, which inspired me to live again. But the fact that it would take Mr. Jackson to keep the shit from hitting the fan just proves how bad Boll is.

Seriously.... What?

Lemme put it this way, theres a reason tonnes of people dislike him, both inside and outside of Hollywood.

 

[RebelRising]

His work has been horrible but..there is something to admire in his determination. Honestly, I think if he backed up and changed some things, he could be great. He just won't it seems and is kinda sad.

I agree, at least he has unabashed tenacity, a quality that has been more-or-less eroded by society's need to meet other's expectations.

Still, his movies suck a great deal, though they make great movies to watch with friends/family while drunk.
