Uwe Boll lover?

Not sure if this is sarcastic or what, but this guy seems to be indicating some level of approval of Uwe Boll:

Are you kidding?  My approval of Uwe Boll is firing on all cylinders!  I hope studios keep putting his movies in theaters for many years to come.

I don't understand all the hatred for Uwe. Sure he turns out crap...but it's funny, entertaining crap.

I'm with BroR and Odinn7.   I love Uwe Boll's films.  They great bad fun.  

Here's the review from my site:

I really really really wanted this to be a good movie when first hearing about it. I was hoping it was going to be Uwe Boll's way to make up for House Of The Dead. Uwe Boll's final chance at redemption!

But, alas, it came in at #14 it's opening weekend. It seems that Boll is now stuck as the new Ed Wood.

But, the movie actually isn't that bad. My wife and I finally got around to seeing it last night in the theater, and you know what?

I actually kinda enjoyed the movie.

It goes without saying that we were the only two people viewing the film, but that just added to the experience. We were able to take our jabs at the film verbally and get a laugh or two out of it.

I'm not even going to start getting into the details of the plot, because there is little plot. A crazed scientist has created evil creatures that destroyed the Abkanis centuries before. He's trying to find a passage to the "dark world" under ours. It's convoluted, not very well thought out, and downright confusing at some points.

The film also tries to incorporate any and all horror/action cliches that it can. We get taxi chases through a sidewalk market, evil creatures being killed by light (yeah...that's new), and some seriously cheesy dialogue.

And who's idea was it to put Christian Slater in the lead of this thing? Why!? Did they actually think that people would flock to it because it had a strung out 80s star in it? The guy looked like he was just there for the paycheck so he could get stoned again. And what has happened to Tara Reed? She used to be hot, now she looks just as strung out as Slater.

Now, here's the biggie. Uwe Boll's direction. The man's direction is passable, and not really that annoying in this film. I was actually surprised at just how much better it is than House Of The Dead. The man has some talent lurking in him somewhere. I feel that if he had a good script and good actors, he'd make a 'decent' director.

Well, if the studio banned him from putting music videos in his films, that is.

Boll isn't that bad of a director.  I think that he did terrible with House Of The Dead, but Alone In The Dark shows improvement....not to mention it was a lot of fun.

I like him too, although I want to see him do a movie that isn't based on a videogame just to show that it's him and not the material.  Either way, he's producing bad movie gold.

[BeyondTheGrave]

The problem that I have with him, is that since I live in a major city, I have to pay 10.25-10.50 for a movie. To be honest his movies ain't worth that.  I think if a rent them when they come on dvd, I would enjoy them more, Instead of worrying I paid 10 something.

I love his movies, he is going to be remembered 50 years down the road as the worst filmmaker of all time. They will probably even make a movie about him.

And as for Alone in the Dark, some guy in the back of the audience clapped when the movie finished.
