On behalf of real truthers and conspiracy "theorists" I apologize. Uwe Boll just seems like a poser like Alex Jones and other alternative media outlets trying to fearmonger which I hate. Thanks for your honest review Brad keep it up. Yet there are these posers who will go out of their way to put a bad name on people who are just trying to help other people willing to learn and want to know about new things and be aware of things that could potentially harm them so that they can be given the CHOICE of defending themselves and loved ones without the use of force or violence as the answer. Being a conspiracy "theorist"/activist/truther means the representation of equality, advocating peaceful protesting, not using force, using common sense, listening, keeping an open mind, able to accept other's beliefs, ect. I get so annoyed by the type of posers who go on advocating shit like violence, extremism, forcing opinion's down other people's throats. Never has there been a poorer portrayal to attempt at misrepresenting what a truther/activist really is about. I just got done watching your vlog on the 4 movies he saw and I gotta say, the Uwe Boll movie Rampage: Capital punishment from the sound of it and the trailer alone insulted me. I still find it hard to believe that Boll can hammer out 'Rampage 2' and 'In the Name of the King 3' in no time, yet he apparently has problems financing a sequel to what's ostensibly his "best" and "most popular" film. ![]() At least if it were 'Postal 2' there would be a satirical and slapsticky aspect to it. At least, that's how I could see myself defending 'Rampage 2' even if I do get offended by its message.Īlso, that "yoga death" sounds horrible, in a bad way. Admittedly, I am quite concerned over how.*radical* some of it seems to sound, but if it's like any of Boll's other action films, I'm hoping there would at least be some redeeming merit in the actors and their improvisation, the camerawork and special effects and sheer, unbridled levels of bloody non-PC fun, like a serious-minded Troma film. It'll likely be a few days before I see 'Rampage 2', but it sounds pretty much exactly how I expected it, e.g. It's grossly irresponsible, but I was able to brush it off because A) it's an Uwe Boll film and few people are going to see it, B) it's a ridiculous message to take at face value, and C) the other 99% of the movie (no pun intended) was well-made, tense and engaging. It neither condemns nor praises his actions until the very end, where the movie takes a sudden turn and outright says he's the hero and the American people should revolt in the same way. The first hour is pure character development, and, unlike 'Rampage' which was best taken as a "nutbag on a rampage" flick, it actually does a pretty good job at making the audience sympathize with the character and showing how he would rationalize mass murder in his mind. and similarly employs a story where an average man goes on a killing spree over it. The movie's super heavy-handed and over-the-top in its/Boll's message about Wall Street, the government, the 1%, etc. I don't know if Brad's seen it, but 'Assault on Wall Street' is a primary example of such. ![]() However, it's been a common thread with most of Uwe's films for the last few years to *strongly* mirror his own political beliefs, which, as Brad knows, can sometimes side on the extreme. I can't defend 'Rampage 2' because I haven't seen it yet. ![]() I've been an Uwe Boll apologist since I first saw 'Postal' I think he's grown as a filmmaker and has made a lot of decent and well-made exploitation films in addition to a lot of awful crap.
