That doesn't exactly work - after all, look at 300. It was working to a similar beat, albeit a more racist and retarded one. User was suspended for: Does New Korean Game Rip Off Team Fortress 2?. (7 days) |

Where did you hear this? I know it's being produced by Legendary, but I hadn't heard of a director being assigned yet. |

I think it was just a branch of the rumor tree... people see Legendary, hope for Nolan since he's done some good stuff with Legendary, and start spreading stuff. I forget exactly where. Either way, it's Legendary. It'll be damn good. |
Paperboy Posts: 31 Joined: 22 Aug 2006  | Uwe Boll is at his worst when he tries to make a movie in a somewhat serious fashion. However, having seen Postal, which is completely over the top, I think he achieved exactly what he set out to achieve. It's a tasteless, ludicrous, nonsensical and low brow film, and it works because it's exactly what it wants to be. |

Really? Sly for worst career achievement? I mean, come on, at least he made a couple good movies in his career. What has Uwe done that was worth watching? (Unless of course, you want a movie that will make you cringe) |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 70 Joined: 15 Jul 2008  | A lot of folks don't like Sly, who's films are often fairly shallow and, eh, predictable to a fault. Me, I liked several of them, my favorite being Copland. Of course, on the other end of the scale you have Stop, or My Mom Will Shoot and Rhinestone. I think the consensus is now leaning heavily towards Uwe , at least, he's the one I'm sticking up for (or sticking it to him, whichever way you look at it). It was close and hotly debated most of last year, but now I think Uwe is going to come away with it. Particularly since, according to rumor, one or more of his main financial backers have washed their hands of him and his work and cut off his funding. |

God I hated King Kong, only movie I know that was directed by him, therefore not much basis to say I hate Mr Jackson. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1077 Joined: 18 Jun 2008 | I still have nightmares about Alone in the dark. Not because it was scary but from it's god aweful quality. |

Oh a God of War movie would be epic; they have the entirity of Greek mythology to create a great story and they have Kratos' huge arsenal of weapons (they could even use the games story which is also great). |

Actually, I imagine most people aren't entertained by Boll's movies because they are awful. Gamers feel the sting even more because that's our treasured franchises he's trampling all over. |

You seem to be missing the decidedly less awesome, more akin to having your genitals put in boiling water aspects of it, in the case of a man who thought it would be a good idea to get rid of context and even sense in his latest movie. Just pray no-one makes a funny dubbed scene of God Of War. User was suspended for: Does New Korean Game Rip Off Team Fortress 2?. (7 days) |

You may have made the best points ever in there, but I can't even get past the first sentence. Of course, since you didn't actually use a period, I guess that "sentence" covers the entire thing, but whatever. Uwe Boll, incidnetally, took advantage of some obscure German law that states that even if your movie is like being cockslapped while on fire, you still make money, especially if it flops. |

Beat Writer  Posts: 181 Joined: 12 Dec 2008 | Whew, I saw the title that had Uwe Boll and Award in the same sentence and nearly lost my sanity. Thankfully I read the info, and was greatly relieved. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 926 Joined: 31 Mar 2008  | What the writer?directors who made Disaster Movie? Aren't they about as bad as Uwe Boll. I'm pretty sure they have a smaller budget too. |

This is the problem - all of them seem to have half a potential. Shallow games like this are given the best of the best directors, while movies with original plots, characters, and some damn awesome potential for action (like God Of War) are given to *shudder* Brett Ratner of X-Men: The Final Stand fame
