    I was browsing Bloody Disgusting earlier, a popular thriller/horror review site and ended up reading a review of Uwe Bolls' Rampage. They gave it a 7/10.

     
    So it turns out this film is actually pretty good, something blindly ignored by the gaming community. Being told your life's work is a pile of shit has to hit home sometimes I guess?

    Film.com "Uwe Boll made something solid, memorable, and well worth seeking out."

    QuietEarth.us "Forget anything you ever knew about Uwe Boll. This is solid cinema and deserves praise. There comes a shocking 9 out of 10. Well earned."
     
    FilmSchoolRejects.com "Uwe Boll made a film that is sick, violent and fun — for the second time, he's made a film that I have enjoyed. " 
     
    Bloody Disgusting    "Dr. Uwe Boll has delivered a film that I can finally recommend. While it might not sit well with every viewer, most of you might actually enjoy this. "

    He may have made on okay horror movie, but none of these quotes really inspire the phrase "critical acclaim"

    Very disappointed by the lack of giant monkeys, lizards, and wolves.
     
    Also, don't like the use of "u" instead of "you" in the trailer
     
    Also don't like how this looks like a mix of Falling Down and Elephant.

    Wow. I can disturbingly see how that can be good. An action movie with a bit of a message. 
     
    Though I wonder if this was accidental.

    Haha I love how much they had to clarify it. "No really guys, it's good, seriously"

    It's also not a movie based on a video game, and I think he's also finally realized that he's made shitty movies for a while.  I'm glad that he's put out something that people didn't hate.  Now, if he could consistently do that... 
     
    With that said, I remember that Stoic also didn't get completely reamed.

    Neat. 
    All the shit movies he's made before this one will guarantee I'll never watch it though. Oh well.

    We'll see.  These critics don't seem to be the type that really carry a lot of weight with their judgement.  This movie might be watchable, but I highly doubt it is going to be memorable or worth seeking out.

    His last movie, Tunnel Rats was actually not bad either. But I don't know about this. After watching the preview, I'm not sure I want to watch a movie about some sociopath going around and murdering people all hollywood action style with extra gore.

    So is the a movie about his inner emotions because he always gets shit on for his movies? </end Uwe Boll joke>
     
    It looks pretty fucked up, kind of like a movie about a high school shooting except it's just the neighborhood instead of highschool.  I don't think I would want to watch it.

    Me too. I thought, "Rampage? The video game?" and was hoping to so see monsters destroy lots of buildings.

    Yes you tax system rorter german failed filmmaker fucktard, pretty good.  Be happy it wasn't as easily trashable as your other travesties.  Now go away and find some drying paint to film.  At least that would mean you could produce a movie with less of a tax rort and make it even more stimulating than the majority of your filmwork.  You're a hack and had I known of the boxing match earlier, I would have happily smacked your dumb grin sideways multiple times.  If you ever call for a rematch, I'll be there.

    @SeriouslyNow:  Sometimes, Seriously, you post things, and I just can't fucking believe it. I stare at my monitor in utter disbelief, jaw slackened and hanging askew, and I ask myself "Is this Bizzaro me? Does this person exist only to be everything I am not, and none of the things I am?". Sometimes, you post and I'm genuinely offended, and sometimes I even want to have an internet argument with you.
