"Um, no offense seriously you all. But like some of the people above me have said, this is kind of foolish. I whole heartedly love this site, but this is a little to much lol. I know his movies more then often tend to suck, but we are the people that really keep him in business. If you just dont go see his movies he wont be able make enough revenue and no one would let him make movies. As being fans of movies, you all should know, that it is kind of wrong to do that to the fans that do like his movies. What if someone decided to do that to a director that you loved? That would suck, and I know it is hard to believe but some people actually do like this guy lol. Plus, I think it is kind of selfish to take the man's job from him lol. But I will agree that his movies are not all that great. Just my two cents...... Anthony'"

That sums up my feelings.

Meh, I'll sign. He didn't agree to anything, he just off handidly mentioned it.

Most likely he'll just threaten to box everyone who signs the petition.

No one is taking anything from him. He's the one who said that he'd quit.

Of course, he's just getting publicity for himself (you guys are falling for it), and there's very little chance of there being a million signatures anyway. But no one forced the dude to say "if there are a million signatures, I will quit." THat was all Uwe Boll's decision.

It won't happen :(kruesader

Well, even if it doesn't (I doubt that Uwe will actually live up to his "pledge"), it still sends a pretty clear message from the gaming community.

I dont like the guys movies (like most people with fully functional brains), but I wont sign that petition. Imagine how the guy feels? Im thinking he has very low self esteem and think himself a talentless hack. I think its kind of cruel to treat someone like this. If you dont like his films then dont watch them, and dont bloody complain when you do and theyre crap.

The movies are annoying, and I dislike them and what he does with the IP he is given, but I can't say they hurt anything except for the reputation of Video Game Movies!

I guess you missed his "put up or shut up" challenge to his critics, where he challenged them to a fight and his claims that people who don't like his movies have no taste in movies.

Besides this, he exploits a German tax exemption that allows him to continue making these crappy movies, taking advantage of a system made for TRUE directors. He fails to make any kind of profit on the majority of his movies, in some cases falling into negative 18 million dollars in profit.

He's a terrible leech on the German system and should be forced to stop his crappy movies.

That's why it's never going to get to one million. Everyone who cared went right out and signed the petition. And everyone who didn't care enough to sign it is never going to sign it. If it's still at less than 10 percent, it's never getting to one million.

Isn't he the person who said he would box anyone who though his movies were crap, and then declined fighting a brazilian tae-kwon-do fighter?

Useless Petition is Useless.

I know his movies aren't great, but who else is trying? the guy who turned resident evil into crap? you should sign a petition where he can only produce a movie, cause he's good at producing, just not directing.

who cares. just don't watch his movies. how does his crappy movies effect me? also a production that gets him as a director obviously isn't likely to be good with or without Boll.

10.58% of the way there.

I've actually never heard of him or any of his movies so I don't understand what the big deal is. Do his movies come out in the States? His name looks German or Dutch.
