Are we not including "Assault on Wall St." and "Postal" in Boll's lineup?


Hooker - 2013-10-22

Boll's best film (I'm using the measurement of if I had to watch one, it would be...) is Dungeon Siege. Assault on Wall Street, like Rampage here, is Boll's gross and superficial revenge fantasy, and both draw out the similarly gross and shallow people who have similar "I'll show them all" revenge fantasies who talk about how deep and nuanced the films are. Postal is a guy trying as hard as he can to be offensive and, as a result, making a bland and inoffensive film.

Dungeon Siege is Boll sincerely trying to make a fantasy adventure film and is littered with B-list actors giving between few and zero fucks and winding up with a bizarre, tone-deaf movie.

There's nothing deep or nuanced about this film, but as a revenge fantasy, it serves its purpose well. I particularly liked the scene where he goes into the bingo hall in full body armor to buy a sandwich and absolutely nobody there gives him a second look.

Pretty much this. I didn't think it was particularly deep or meaningful but it was well-done, had a good handling on tone and even the ending was a little surprising in how it played out. Although I'll concede that had anybody not named Uwe Boll made this, nobody would really remember this movie.

Supposedly his film Tunnel Rats is actually not bad. I've known several people who rented it expecting it to be riffable garbage but said it actually was not at all bad.


Hooker - 2013-10-22

Tunnel Rats is probably his most technically and artistically accomplished film, but Boll still has no idea how to tell a story, so it's a thin first act and then a second act that goes on forever before the film just ends.

There's also been a lot of discussion that Auschwitz was good for what it was intended to be, but that it got buried in controversy over being "gruesome" (which seems an odd complaint about a movie about the Holocaust) and critics just using the easy way out of trashing Uwe Boll to write savage reviews. I haven't seen it, so I'm not defending Boll, just saying that a lot of people say it's actually a fairly effective movie and underrated.


Hooker - 2013-10-22

I haven't watched Auschwitz because Boll is an ugly and violent filmmaker so fuck watching a Holocaust movie he made.


SteamPoweredKleenex - 2013-10-22

I thought he did Auschwitz because he had a shitload of Nazi uniforms and sets handy from Bloodrayne.


Hooker - 2013-10-22

He made Bloodrayne 3, Blubberella, and Auschwitz all at the same time, recycling sets, actors, outfits, and in the case of the first two, entire already-edited scenes.

Was this "based on a true story?"

Is 'community college' the setting or skill level of director?


memedumpster - 2013-10-23

I watched it expecting it to be funny like Postal.


Sanest Man Alive - 2013-10-23

Worst videogame movie. Honestly, there's not one giant monster ape or lizard to be seen!

Hooray! I had the sega saturn version, after being addicted to the original arcade.

My memories tell me that Rampage was the only reason my neighbors had one of those Atari computers growing up.
