Film School Rejects: Fantastic Fest Review: Uwe Boll’s Rampage

  • Landon_Palmer · 2 months ago
    Uwe Boll movies are for people that admire Michael Bay but get bothered by his narrative cogency.

    Hey. I like Michael Bay a fair bit but dislike Boll.

    Uwe Boll is the most misunderstood director of all time. There are films of his that I have enjoyed immensely for sheer fun, action and mayhem factors. While other films of his seemed to merely attempt to ride the coat tails of other films successes, by other filmmakers, at the box office. But as a filmmaker myself, and not a great one by any means, I can't put Uwe down, because getting any film made from start to completion is always a miracle and even more so in the economic climate of the film world today, where getting any movie made is next to impossible for indie filmmakers. My hat's off to you Uwe. I hope you keep cranking them out buddy.

    I'll definitely see this. Boll did great (yes, great) work with both Postal and Seed. I was impressed.

    "C" is pretty generous there, Miller. I don't understand why I need to suffer through awful acting (off of no real script with no real improv talent) and the random splicing together of scenes in order to get to a great action sequence.

    And I'd have to challenge you on how fun the action is. It's a guy running around shooting people. One decent explosion, but otherwise it's pretty standard squibs and a guy pulling the trigger on a fake gun.

    And that Bingo scene would have been decent if it was grounded in any sort of reality of how people act. Guy with two huge machine guns and massive body armor strolling into your Bingo Hall? Of course, you'll just sit there waiting for the next number to be called! You paid a buck for your Bingo card didn't you? It's just absurd. No 90-year old would stand for their Bingo game to be disrupted. They would have mobbed him, chewed his throat out, and it would have become a different horror flick altogether.

    Probably a far more awesome one.

    The cast is pretty great & the movie too! But i think Boll took it a bit too seriously in the as*.
    He's not the kind of producer i would work with; he let the whole damn cast by themself, you came on the set, you say your lines and then, you go home with one or two word from Mr. great UweBoll. Poor cast...!
