You know, I don't think I've ever watched a film by Director Uwe Boll, but based on comments, rather, HARSH COMMENTS I've seen from this site as well as RT and CHUD, Uwe Boll is not a very popular Director... Then there's the Great Paul W.S Anderson who's done 2 Mortal Kombat movies, Event Horizon, Resident Evil alng with Producing The Sequel Resident Evil: APOCALYPSE, the Awesome ALIEN VS PREDATOR etc and once again, sites like this, RT or CHUD lambaste this guy to as though he ran over their dog or something and now I have to wonder: Which Director do you think is Worse Based on these 2??? Paul W.S Anderson or Uwe Boll???

Uwe Boll is much worse. He's a complete no talent hack. At least Anderson has one good film under his belt in Event Horizon.

I'd say based on it's 40 Million opening, AVP would have to be up there with Event Horizon... Maybe I'll have to rent "House of the Dead" to see what this Guy Uwe Boll is like??? I'm a little more easily pleased than the average poster is on sites like this or RT or CHUD.. I'm not into all this nitpicking about the dialogue or editing and acting etc like many are when it comes to Dissecting films.. See what posters fail to realize is that Paul W.S Anderson must be doing something right if Studios keep hiring his services... He does make the studios $$$ you know when it comes to his films.. Maybe 1 day, Uwe Boll will become as good a Director through practice much like Paul W.S Anderson did??? A Director up and coming doesn't get better unless he or she practices like Paul W.S Anderson did.. That's the only way you get good at Directing films is through Practice... Hell, Paul"The Man"Anderson started off with Mortal Kombat and now he's worked his way up to 2 of Cinemas Iconic Monsters in Battle for AVP and probably AVP II since the 1st one did well on DVD sales and Theatrically.. Not bad and actually pretty good.. =D>

Come on man, a lot of shitty films have made 40 Million in a weekend. ](*,)

Uwe Boll, because Paul W.S. Anderson's Mortal Kombat still worth watching. :wink:

I can honestly say that Paul W.S. Anderson has successfully made some kick-ass movies in his years. I'd definently go with him.

Event Horizon, Mortal Kombat, AVP...

Whats UWE BOLL ever made?

I think Paul Anderson is cool.

The only Uwe Boll movie I know and the only one I saw is House of the Dead, which sucked.

I've yet to see a film by Boll, but he certainly comes off worse in reviews than "The Man". Hell, even the trailers for his films are embarrassing.

I still can't help but resent Paul W.S. Anderson more though. Boll may be worse than Anderson at putting a film together, but at least he hasn't raped any franchises I actually give a shit about yet.

Never seen anything from Uwe Boll

Except for AvP which i hated, i kinda liked Anderson.

i enjoyed event horizon, RE, MK and even though i have never managed to sit through the whole thing, i always wanted to see the end of Soldier.

makeshift....did you even watch the same "Event Horizon" that i saw?

The one which is on my "abomination list" and is lower down on it than even Gigli for being one of the most cliched, horribly bad movies ever made?

No. Paul W.S Anderson cannot direct a movie. His ethic is "if it looks good, then its fine". But hes still a helluva lot better than Uwe Boll...who im amazed has any work at all.

Why do studios keep employing them ? its like injected box office poison into your movie.

Boll must be worse from what i hear. Anderson is untallented yes, average on his better days, but Boll seems to be downright incapable.

Exactly. BKB, are your top five movies of all time Titanic, A New Hope, Shrek 2, The Phantom Menace, and ET? If not, then I think the "higher grosses prove greater quality" theory should be put to rest.

Uwe Boll is the worst.

I liked Mortal Kombat. So I guess Boll gets my vote.

I've never seen a Uwe Boll movie, and I don't intend to, either.

Of Paul Anderson's films, I've seen Event Horizon and Mortal Kombat. I found Horizon creepy and Kombat ludicrious. By default, Paul Anderson is better.

Event Horizon was NOT creepy.
I watched it in film class - being a horror wimp i was expecting to embarass myself by screaming and whatnot.

Instead i dozed and laughed mostly.
Ludicrous plot, horrible acting, bad development and pace equal to that of a tortoise, who occasionally takes acid.
God it was awful, the whole thing was totally unplaudable beyond belief, everything was predictable, nothing was controversial and nothing was scary. The fact that Anderson is responsible for this, and the superior [but still not good] Resident Evil films makes me glad i stayed away from AVP

Paul Anderson only made 2 movies I enjoyed Mortal Combat and especially Event Horizon. He went down hill from there when he made Resident Evil and the god awful AvP. However, I hate kicking a director when hes down especially an unsuccessful one that doesnt make huge budget movies but I have to say Uwe Boll is going to take the crown from Ed Wood. I didnt know how he was able to outdo his movie House of the Dead and make an extremly crappier movie in the name of Alone in the Dark. Thats how I felt when I was one of the only 10 people inside the theater.

The movie absolutely had no story and plays like a cutscene from a video game except pretend you lost the manuel to the video game so you have no idea what the background of the story is. The characters kept referring to the story that happened when they were often but it was so vague and they never explained what exactly happened. Heres how you picture Uwe Boll's directing. Think of how Rob Zombie directs a movie(like a music video) except without the gore but also add in the bad FX from Resident Evil and AvP except slash the budget by 3 folds. That formula is how Uwe Boll does his movie. Man I really dont like to kick a director when hes down, I usually go after the crappy directors who have big budget movies like Roland Emmerich and Michael Bay but Uwe Boll really needs to go back to school to learn how to direct for his sake

Paul anderson is awful...he put the alien/pred franchise to shame so he could make a few bucks from horny teenage boys. His whol direction for that movie was awful, and his other movies are really nothing special....especially the awful mortal kombat.

This guy needs to get a new career in my opinion

This coming from someone who's never made a movie in his fucking life such as yourself... Your such an expert on how this should've been made, let's see your version of it??? What the hell have you made that Qualifies you as an expert in filmmaking??? The guy DIDN'T put the ALIEN/ PREDATOR Franchise to shame no more than these Japanese who make these Umpteenth Godzilla "VS" movies... They are what they are... Mindless fun, B Movie type of fights.. Get it??? And another thing: You babble so much about how this was made to make a few bucks off horny teenage boys?? What the fuck is BATMAN BEINGS gonna be??? The same thing except WB grasping at the 5th movie in a dead franchise by borrowing from LOTR and 7 Years in Tibet with the sword fighting and treks through the Mountains to sell this movie and all to MAKE A FEW BUCKS OF THE BATFANS OR FANS IN GENERAL.. All movies made are made to make $$$ you clown...

Dude...calm down...it's your thread, your the one who asked the question and I answered it with reason. It is my opinion so DEAL WITH IT :laugh:

I have to agree with BKB on this one. I enjoyed AvP because I didn't take it too seriously, nor do I take any of his movies that serious. He makes some fun action movies and they look pretty nice. If I want to see acting and a really good story, I will go see movies like Sideways, Finding Neverland or In Good Company. I really do feel bad for Anderson, he makes some pretty cool movies that aren't meant to "wow" say the Oscar crowd, just 2 hours of good action entertainment. With all that being said, Boll is way worse. I could barely sit through House of the Dead and I have heard nothing good about Alone in the Dark so I feel Anderson is by far the better director and doesn't deserve 1/10 of the punishment that he gets. At least he is trying =D>

Anderson is the better director.

As a movie, completely out of the realm of both franchises, it is an OK flick. But as a Predator or Alien movie, it sucks. Sorry, it more than sucks, its horrendous. People hate it so much because it basically killed any chances we have of ever seeing a truly good movie from either franchise ever again. When I go to see an Alien, or a Predator movie, I dont want to see a movie that is as good as Resident Evil or some other ho-hum popcorn mediocre flick, I want to see a movie that is gonna kick my ass and makes me shit my pants. AvP didnt do that, it crapped on both franchises by being a paint by numbers everyday sci-fi action flick.

Im tired of people defending a movie because it was just "entertaining". Fuck that. When i go to the movies I want to be wowed, I want to walk out holding my breath and grabbin my crotch because it was fucking great. I dont want to walk out of a movie saying "Oh, well hmmm, that was ok, at least it was entertaining enough for me to sit thru it. Screw mediocrity, If we keep settling for all this mediocre crap hollywood shits out on us then thats all we are ever going to get.
