Bay to Megan Fox: Go eat!

BigSleeper · Jul 17, 2008

If there was ever a movie designed specifically for 15-year-old boys, this was it. I dig action movies a lot, and this had it's moments. But I could have watched it on mute and gotten as much out of it. Considering the script -- which my wife I still mock often -- I wish I had.

It could've been worse: I give you Uwe Boll.

Many of Boll's movies, especially those based on video games, have been critically panned.[8][9][10][11] As of April 4, 2008, Alone in the Dark, BloodRayne II: Deliverance and House of the Dead appear on the Internet Movie Database's Bottom 100 films list.[12] In a review of Alone in the Dark, Rob Vaux states that the movie should make all other "bad" movie directors feel better in comparison: "'It's okay,' they'll tell themselves, 'I didn't make Alone in the Dark.'"[13] Another reviewer wrote that Alone in the Dark was "so poorly built, so horribly acted and so sloppily stitched together that it's not even at the straight-to-DVD level."[14]

When rumors surfaced that Boll had expressed interest in a Metal Gear Solid movie, and claimed to have been given a script to read, Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima responded in his audioblog HIDECHAN, "Absolutely not! I don't know why Uwe Boll is even talking about this kind of thing. We've never talked to him. It's impossible that we'd ever do a movie with him."[15]

Blizzard Entertainment refused Boll's request to make a World of Warcraft adaptation in a most critical manner... Boll says, "I got in contact with Paul Sams of Blizzard, and he said, 'We will not sell the movie rights, not to you... especially not to you,'"[19]

I find the idea of this idiot challenging movie critics (at least, critics who he think can't beat him) and directors like Quentin Tarentino and Michael Bay to boxing matches incredibly comical.

I believe it was GQ that did a piece on Boll several months back. It was a good read. It was also rather interesting that the actors in his movies all seemed to like the guy and think he was doing something right.
