Uwe Boll kicks ass. His movies may be shit, but the dude is an epic guy! He challenges and punches out critics in the ring, doesn't care about anyone's opinion, and just does what he loves, making movies! Also, looking forward to seeing Rampage.
I just saw him at the premiere of his new movie 'Postal' in Berlin. He was there, too, and talk to us after the film. Very sympathetic guy - i really don't get why some people hate him so much. He's just being very honest and direct. Postal was great by the way! You should go and see it! I reckon it's way better than some of his other movies :-)
He is actually quite the genius. It's just that he hasn't had much success. Very well educated and simply hasn't found his style till his last 5 movies. His videogame movies were easy to produce and to make money. His recent stuff like Rampage, Attack on Darfur, and Assault on Wallstreet are great movies that deliver non-mainsteam feelgood crap like Hollywood. I would love to meet him.
Keep him away from video games, vampires, period pieces and zombies and he can direct a good movie just fine. The Rampage movies, Postal and Tunnel Rats were all awesome. Haven't seen Darfur or Wall Street, but if they are as good as the AWESOME Rampage movies, I'd certainly like to. I think he's grown up and matured since the days of shit like In The Name Of The King, Alone in the Dark and House of the Dead, and I wish him the best. He also seems like a decent, likable (Albeit somewhat crazy and eccentric, but many great men are) guy off camera, like the kinda guy you'd like to hang out with for a Saturday afternoon...Unlike Michael Bay. Ugh.
I just saw his new film Rampage, and being one of his few original films, it was really good. It has an original and interesting plot, it's fun to watch, exciting, and it has an ending nobody will expect.
Ya know what would've made this great? If Uwe got drunk off the wine and gave the interview in a drunken rage. That would be the BEST interview of ALL TIME!!! Hell, it might even make up for all the crappy movies he's made!!!
***** Because it's still totally trendy to hate him, bandwagon bullshit basically. Many of these sheep on the other hand consider the transformers movies as masterpieces and Michael Bay as an absolute uber-director. So, there you go.
My ears began to bleed when Dr. Zhivago crossed Boll's lips as some kind of motivating influence. None of his movies will hold a collective 1% of the classiness, style, and the cinematic personality of the Oscar winning film.
Ja, das hoffe ich auch, dass Boll sein Image verbessern kann, denn dann haben wir neben Roland Emmerich einen weiteren guten Regiesseur aus Deutschland :)
UWE BOLL is brilliant, all his movies are cool!! he should make every game conversion, uwe bolls halo would be awesome. if only he did resident evil, it might be 12 times better!!!
OMG!! You invited Uwe Boll over for dinner!? That's like Mario inviting Bowser over for dinner. You should re-upload this video with Bowser's theme in the background (from SMB 1 for nes) ♪♫
He also said he wanted to do Metal Gear Solid; Hideo Kojima's on record saying that Uwe will NEVER direct a Metal Gear Movie. In fact, I THINK (but not positive, so don't quote me) he basically said, "over my dead body."
I'll admit that I've never sat through one of his movies in their entirety (mainly because I like keeping my brain cells) but I don't get the hate for him. Let him make money however he wants, I'm not signing any petition to stop him doing what he wants to do, it's not hurting me.
Sure, i know that - but there are way worse film makers. Most of his movies are just "ordinarily" bad - no reason to really "hate" :) but have a look at the postal trailer here on youtube. if you like dark humor - "Team America" style - you will like this film. :-)
I'm afraid he'll survive that. I mean, he somehow survives furious criticism and hatred of those whose hearts he means to conquer. He is a walking nightmare, I believe the only good horror movie he will ever make will he autobiographic, with him telling us how he went to GYM and will box to death all his critics.
He is so lucky people with taste weren't there to interview him. I (and I'm sure I'm not alone here) would've made the entire interview consist of me beating him with a chair. Maybe the table, if I had help. A 10-minute recording of his ass gettin' whooped. Now THAT'S satisfying entertainment.
I think Uwe Boll should start making video games, that shit would be epic! I mean his last film Rampage is about a guy in body armor mowing down everyone with machine pistols, so why not turn that into an epic video game?
@imeldaDuke I agree that Uwe Boll is a hack. I was just pointing out that there are other directors who are just as talentless who don't receive as much flack as he does. And don't worry; I've seen several great German flicks (not just Run Lola Run) and none of them have been by Dr. Boll : P. I guess lousy directors can be found everywhere.
ja stimmt schon, von dieser seite betrachtet hast du schon recht, er ist schon recht sympathisch, zumal er filme genauso liebt, wie ich. Aber seine Filme werde ja nicht besser, das ist das Problem. Hehe, Peter Jackson? Braindead und Bad Taste waren doch wohl klasse :P
why are you hating so much!?!? he ´s such a guy who makes movies..there are so many more bad directors out there. i like his personality and enjoy his trash movies^^ its just fun...but i think his personality is cooler than his movies. but i thing his new movies are a bit better.
You simply must respect the man. His movies are utter garbage, yet he has the temerity to continue cranking 'em out. And stupid suckers keep seeing them. What a business.
house of the dead and bloodrayne had more elements true to the video game then resident evil did. even doom was nothing like the game. even though i still love them movies im still glad bolls films were made, at least they had gore!!
So. I'm pretty sure none of his movies, but at LEAST HALF of them haven't made 50% of their budget. He uses a German tax loophole to finance all his movies and so he can basically make whatever movie he wants with no fear of consequences.
@Deadcell205 "Shaun of the Dead" was decent. I prefer Edgar Wright's next movie "Hot Fuzz". Anyway if you enjoyed "Shaun of the Dead" check out "Zombieland". It's great :).
LMAO @ IGN! seriously. Dinner.. with.. Uwe Boll LOL!? It's quiet possibly the only way they could stand listening to him is to have food shoved in their mouths.
I saw bloodrayne and it was absolutely horrible, one of the worst, if not the worst movie i've ever seen, and after that i figured he was a horrible movie director. To be fair though I haven't seen his other movies, does anyone know if they were just as horrible? cuz i heard that house of the dead was actually decent but i don't know.
Dear god this HAD to be an awkward atmosphere for those two......I mean Jessica looks REALLY stiff during this thing and doesn't really say anything. I actually pitied those two for having dinner with that guy.
@Deadcell205 If Bad Boys 1 and 2 are two of your favourite films, you either have exceedingly bad taste, or haven't watched too many movies. The first Transformers movie was ok. The second one on the other hand is absolute garbage.
@frazzl Hang on. Just as talentless? I can only assume you're talking about Ed Wood. Like I'm not the biggest Michael Bay fan but there's a huge difference between not enjoying a film and feeling that you were robbed of the time spent watching the film. Incidentally, the two American interviewers seem to have no idea about the world film industry
Uwe Boll kicks ass. His movies may be shit, but the dude is an epic guy! He challenges and punches out critics in the ring, doesn't care about anyone's opinion, and just does what he loves, making movies! Also, looking forward to seeing Rampage.
Everytime I get an email about new comments I get a little excited.
i love the comments for this video

Postal was great by the way! You should go and see it! I reckon it's way better than some of his other movies :-)
-you sure it doesn't look cheap?
-not with this amazing candlestick!

This interview is more entertaining than any of Boll's movies.
I just saw his new film Rampage, and being one of his few original films, it was really good. It has an original and interesting plot, it's fun to watch, exciting, and it has an ending nobody will expect.

Have you watched Blubberella!? that movie is a MASTERPIECE!!!!
It brings glory to all of Germany!!
no idea why this guy gets so much hate
*****

Hugo Brömme
it seems so, yes
amazing!
My ears began to bleed when Dr. Zhivago crossed Boll's lips as some kind of motivating influence. None of his movies will hold a collective 1% of the classiness, style, and the cinematic personality of the Oscar winning film.
Amen, bredda.
uwe boll is the definition of face palm
Ja, das hoffe ich auch, dass Boll sein Image verbessern kann, denn dann haben wir neben Roland Emmerich einen weiteren guten Regiesseur aus Deutschland :)
UWE BOLL is brilliant, all his movies are cool!! he should make every game conversion, uwe bolls halo would be awesome. if only he did resident evil, it might be 12 times better!!!
Lower than the time they gave God Hand a 3.0?
Well yeah, but it's a close one.
Uwe is cool!
i would hope so!
uwe boll, geilster typ überhaupt!
Uwe Boll rules!
OMG!!
You invited Uwe Boll over for dinner!?
That's like Mario inviting Bowser over for dinner.
You should re-upload this video with
Bowser's theme in the background (from SMB 1 for nes) ♪♫
looks like some good food.
@gregapugh124 Your forgetting Roland Emmerich.
He also said he wanted to do Metal Gear Solid; Hideo Kojima's on record saying that Uwe will NEVER direct a Metal Gear Movie. In fact, I THINK (but not positive, so don't quote me) he basically said, "over my dead body."

He is a walking nightmare, I believe the only good horror movie he will ever make will he autobiographic, with him telling us how he went to GYM and will box to death all his critics.
I don't care if he is a boxer or whatever, I'd still try to STRANGLE him. Go for the throat, go for the throat!!
Actually, it's incidentally.
what a classy dinner, take out chinese food, red wine, and diet mountain dew.
Don't worry about him doing a Zelda or Metroid game. I think Nintendo learned their lesson from the Super Mario movie.
Woman: Awesome, I love that movie!
lol!
he's pretty intelligent actually
What in the world? A dinner interview?
And besides, it's Thai food (you can even see the styrofoam box it came in), and WINE?
Lol, ok the guy sucks at making movies, but at least he has made something of himself
He is so lucky people with taste weren't there to interview him. I (and I'm sure I'm not alone here) would've made the entire interview consist of me beating him with a chair. Maybe the table, if I had help. A 10-minute recording of his ass gettin' whooped.
Now THAT'S satisfying entertainment.
Least he's not doing Zelda. Or a sequel to Super Mario Bros.
He says that he thought that the talking in the film school so he got into the "physical" part of film? Is this guy for real?
I think Uwe Boll should start making video games, that shit would be epic! I mean his last film Rampage is about a guy in body armor mowing down everyone with machine pistols, so why not turn that into an epic video game?
@TheCarlsonsRaiders
Hes made one called tunnel rats :P
Who is the girl?
Jessica Chobot
how's your german?
You had dinner with Uwe Boll and you resisted the temptation to poison him?
@imeldaDuke I agree that Uwe Boll is a hack. I was just pointing out that there are other directors who are just as talentless who don't receive as much flack as he does.
And don't worry; I've seen several great German flicks (not just Run Lola Run) and none of them have been by Dr. Boll : P. I guess lousy directors can be found everywhere.
hey whats so bad about FF8?
ja stimmt schon, von dieser seite betrachtet hast du schon recht, er ist schon recht sympathisch, zumal er filme genauso liebt, wie ich.
Aber seine Filme werde ja nicht besser, das ist das Problem.
Hehe, Peter Jackson? Braindead und Bad Taste waren doch wohl klasse :P
classic
she is the woman in the vid.
why are you hating so much!?!?
he ´s such a guy who makes movies..there are so many more bad directors out there. i like his personality and enjoy his trash movies^^ its just fun...but i think his personality is cooler than his movies. but i thing his new movies are a bit better.
LOL IT'S SO FUCKING FUNNY, HE CAN'T EVEN MAKE GOOD PROPER INTERVIEWS, HE HAS THE INTERVIEWERS EATING LOL!!
Jessica Chobot
Do a MySpace search of her name and she should show up.
Lol Uwe makes me laugh.
The trailer to the Legend of Zelda movie was an April Fools Joke. There is no Zelda movie in development.
Wow. Uwe Boll actually believes every word that comes out of his mouth. You think he would of realised that no-one likes his movies by now.
@TheCarlsonsRaiders Seed was good altough the intro is not needed
And what I mean is, is he naturally bad at filmmaking or is the movie industry are the ones who are making his movies bad.
Why does he seem so smug about himself?
lol, id watch that
the draw gameplay element that takes three years to do.
and triple triad.
You simply must respect the man. His movies are utter garbage, yet he has the temerity to continue cranking 'em out. And stupid suckers keep seeing them. What a business.
HIPPIE!!!
uwe boll rocks! postal is so great!
just cause you cant understand blackhumor!
Why didn't you poison his food? WHY?
????? HE DIDNT DO DOOM!
5 stars for Jessica!
Not just Americans either. Anyone who is sane will never understand his convoluted and strange adaptations of video games, or his all round insanity.
youre intelligent; i like that
house of the dead and bloodrayne had more elements true to the video game then resident evil did. even doom was nothing like the game. even though i still love them movies im still glad bolls films were made, at least they had gore!!
Is he drinking red wine AND DIET Mt. Dew!?
So. I'm pretty sure none of his movies, but at LEAST HALF of them haven't made 50% of their budget. He uses a German tax loophole to finance all his movies and so he can basically make whatever movie he wants with no fear of consequences.
@Deadcell205 "Shaun of the Dead" was decent. I prefer Edgar Wright's next movie "Hot Fuzz". Anyway if you enjoyed "Shaun of the Dead" check out "Zombieland". It's great :).
you were sitting at a table, mere inches away from uwe boll, you were holding a fork, and yet you didn't stab him in the face.
wtf.
he should win the academy award for worst director ever.
Watch out! he might eat your face!
I like his movies and I like him. He's a great guy.
Haters can go cry while bleeding in a bathtub kkthx.
Thumb down away =)
its maybe poisoned ...
i dare u to do that uweboll will knock u out he a boxer and not a noob to
FFVIII > FFVII IMHO :D
LMAO @ IGN! seriously. Dinner.. with.. Uwe Boll LOL!? It's quiet possibly the only way they could stand listening to him is to have food shoved in their mouths.
He doesnt know what he is talking about. John Carpenter`s Escape from New York is about the Reagan Era United States.
yea I am. Actually, I just wanted to spam Uwe Boll's videos. This guy is a hack.
Ha ha, he said he went to gym instead of school. No wonder, just look at his clothing, it seems like he just got from there.
I saw bloodrayne and it was absolutely horrible, one of the worst, if not the worst movie i've ever seen, and after that i figured he was a horrible movie director. To be fair though I haven't seen his other movies, does anyone know if they were just as horrible? cuz i heard that house of the dead was actually decent but i don't know.
I don't think his movies are any worse than Michael Bay films or for that matter McG films. They deserve just as much hate as Boll.
I think this guy sucks...but what you wrote makes him sound awesome.
I think I would do the same
If he doesn't care about anyone's opinion, then why does he 'punch out critics in the ring'? Seems pretty insecure to me.
please
lol :P
Who's the hot babe that A) didn't get enough time to talk due to Uwe Boll's big mouth and B) needed to eat a tad bit more?
im not going to rag on you for your opinions, FFVIII is pretty controversial in terms of fandom, but come on, it's at least AS good as FFVII
Dear god this HAD to be an awkward atmosphere for those two......I mean Jessica looks REALLY stiff during this thing and doesn't really say anything. I actually pitied those two for having dinner with that guy.
lol
@Deadcell205 If Bad Boys 1 and 2 are two of your favourite films, you either have exceedingly bad taste, or haven't watched too many movies. The first Transformers movie was ok. The second one on the other hand is absolute garbage.
BloodRayne? How sucky
what the fuck is he talking about?
@frazzl Hang on. Just as talentless? I can only assume you're talking about Ed Wood. Like I'm not the biggest Michael Bay fan but there's a huge difference between not enjoying a film and feeling that you were robbed of the time spent watching the film.
Incidentally, the two American interviewers seem to have no idea about the world film industry
