Rampage
So today, I was with my friend, his girlfriend, and my girlfriend. Bored as hell looking through the Netflix movies, looked under Thrillers and saw Rampage as the first movie. The description of the movie seemed to catch my eye. So we watched it.
A lot of people see Uwe Boll as "the worlds worst director", I don't see why, maybe because his movies are really violent and the media is all over it. Personally....I'm pretty sure I have only seen two of his movies, both I have loved.
Rampage (2009)
Director: Uwe Boll
Description: (Possible spoilers?)
Brendan Fletcher plays Bill, a young man who plans possibly the biggest killing spree in history, gunning down innocent people in a small town. Unlike Falling Down, the film doesn’t feature a bad guy and the good guy trying to stop him. Instead, we see the mass murder spree from the point of view of Bill, who you will sometimes find yourself relating to, especially in the early minutes of the film before the killings. And that is why this film works — it puts you in a very uncomfortable position. When Bill walked into a bingo hall with hundreds of old men and women, my mouth was never open wider in anticipation of what horrible things may come to follow.
I don't know how sensitive your stomachs are, but this is a sadist, disturbing, yet great film. If you like SAW, then give it a shot (I dont even like SAW, mindless violence is one thing but watching people get ripped apart and mangled and decapitated to death is another IMO). I give the movie a 7/10. Some parts were meh, but the action was
Other good film by Uwe Boll I enjoyed below (because the game is awesome
)

The reason people thing Uwe Boll is the worst director ever is because he takes source material (usually from the gaming world) and then makes a movie that has NOTHING to do with the source material, or butchers it so bad it's hard to tell what it came from.
It doesnt help that he often picks games that are pretty campy/terrible for their story in the first place (probably because he can do it cheaply?)
He's also an egocentric jerk.

Did you feel the same about Alone In The Dark? Bloodrayne?
House of the Dead?
Dungeon Siege? (aka In the Name of the King)
He butchers intellectual properties he buys the movie rights to.
He's a B-movie director at best.
There's a reason why Blizzard turned him down for the rights to a Warcraft movie, and Kojima laughed and said no chance in hell when told that Boll was rumored to attempt to secure movie rights to Metal Gear Solid.

Three of his films (Alone in the Dark, House of the Dead, and BloodRayne) also appeared on GT Countdown's "Top 10 Worst Video Game Movies";[14] all were in the top five, and BloodRayne was number one. In a review of Alone in the Dark, Rob Vaux states that the movie makes other "bad" movie directors feel better in comparison: "'It's okay,' they'll tell themselves, 'I didn't make Alone in the Dark.'"[15] 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."[16] For example, in one scene a character who was "killed" can be seen getting up as the actor prematurely made the move to get off the set. One critic has even dubbed him as the "Jonas Brothers of movie directors".[12]
