Ok, I've done a little researching on him and established one thing.  Uwe Boll has NO and I mean the absolutely NO imagination.  I bet you were thinking I was going to say he has no talent or that his movies suck but I threw you a curve ball.  I am going to give you two reasons to how I came to this conclusion.

The first is the fact that most of his movies are based on games.  Now, what makes, or should make, basing a movie off a game easy?  Well, pretty much everything.  You don't need to come up with characters, story lines should be easy to come up with when you already know the story for the game and as much as you know about the characters, you got the enemies, YOU HAVE EVERYTHING!  Why should it be difficult to make then?  Easy, Boll scraps the characters story and past and keeps their name.  He warps the world and makes it the way he thinks it should be.

Next, What I've noticed is that he keeps saying he wants things from classic movies and compares them to classic movies.  What he does is he sees something he likes and steals it.  He puts in unnecessary things that have no place but made other movies good.  He doesn't come up with new things that would look cool or experiment, he thinks that what made another movie good should be crammed in his movie and it would get better.  Large shoot outs with a bit of a Matrix bullet time does not look good in a suspense/horror.  He has no idea on how to direct nor write.  He has no idea what original means.

Those are my thoughts on Boll.  Now, game companies, please stop encouraging him by giving him your game rights to make it into a movie.

Oh, and rest easy, Boll won't get his hands on the Metal Gear series rights.In Game Informer (Issue 159, July) in the column 'The Good, The Bad, The Ugly' Hideo Kojima stated that there is no way Uwe Boll is getting a hold of Metal Gear (Mr. Kojima said it more polite though).  Sleep tight gamers.
