Wow, gotaa agree with olivia's list, at least the ones i have seen.
Uwe Boll is this century's hitler. he is causing irreparable harm to the idea of making video game movies. Granted, Doom screwed up huge. They got the look right, and that is about it.
The Tomb raider movies were about Anjelina Jolie running in tight clothes, bad, but they were what they were.
I finally saw House of the Dead on scifi a few months back. My wife was a trooper and we stayed up until 2 to watch it. It is an AMAZING film. it is like discovering a new species of animal that is too stupid to take care of it's own young, and is made entirelyout of fecal matter.
If Alffred Hitchcock was as good as Boll is bad, he would have metamorphosed into a god and been able to grant wishes.
What i found most enetertaining was the screenshots from the game interposed into the movie, which were obviously him going "See, this is a movie from a video game. Dont see a link between the two? hey, the movie has SHOTS from the ACTUAL GAME! What more do you want?"
I suppose never having seen the game before writing the screenplay would make it hard to match up the stories, so I will give him that.
The other thing that bugged me.... I realise it was a way to get people to the evil island, but think about the people who attend raves....
15 year old X addicts who like techno... Not exactly the kind of people who have a few grand kicking around to charter Jurgen Prochnow to cart their asses over to an island. And since when is being bodily impaled the kin dof thing you get up from with no ill effects? I'm sorry, she limped a little. Hoorah realism.
And the best scene in the whole movie....
A woman is swimming topless, and without any reason beyond it was theonly way to have her tits in the entire scene, it was shot below water.... No, dont sdhow the FACE of the person in the scene, that might give her an identity. Just show her mostly naked body under water, floating. For god's sake, most porn doesnt dehumanize women to that degree. that is serial Killer behavior.... look up Edmund Kemper on crimelibrary to see.
What were we talking about?
Oh Yeah. Uwe Boll Sucks.
