Some movies are so "bad", they're good... but most movies just suck. However, apparently Boll's movies are vacuum quality suck.

House of the Dead (2003)
Alone in the Dark (2005)
BloodRayne (2005)
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2007)
Postal (2007)
Far Cry (2008)

in production:
Zombie Massacre (2010)
BloodRayne 3: Warhammer (2010)

how does this guy keep getting money to produce films which not only suck but are complete box-office disasters?? For example: according to Wikipedia, Postal had a budget of $18 M and made $146,741.
So, he nearly made 0.82% back on the initial investment. Is this guy like the George Bush of filmaking or what?

I do believe, at some point, there will be a good movie based on a video game, but it won't be from this guy!

I saw his movie "Stoic" a few months ago.  It's based on real life events and just gross.

Can't remember, is this the guy who said his movies where better than Steven Spielberg's? I remember reading a story about the director of the Bloodrayne movies said something to that effect, and I had a real good laugh.

I agree, someday there will probably be a good video game movie, someday....

Still, while Uwe Boll may be a bad director, at least people know it. I find the fact Michael Bay has climbed his way up the latter much more disturbing.

Michael Bay Explosions! Boom! Boom! Blam! Splosions!

Q: What's the difference between special effects and a plot line?

A: Nothing, if you're Michael Bay

You know, I can frequently enjoy a movie that's just spectacle, but Bay seems to have totally lost the ability to actually shoot scenes in a way that you can even tell what's going on.  PULL THE CAMERA BACK and actually SHOW US the action instead of it just being visual noise on screen!  >:(

It's not just that, but it's the stupid dialogues and puerile humor that ruin his movies too.

Does a movie like Transformers really need toilet humor?

There was a Far Cry movie?

And he's making a third Bloodrayne movie? Holy shit
