Genius director? i dont think so, hes a lot of things (tax evasor, bored rich guy, narcisit) but not a genius.
Its clear that hes at the level of a cinematography student if not even lower meaby a “noobie student”, with the little difference that he gots a lot of money to spend in actors and effects.
The worst thing its all the videogame fans that suffers for his works, far away from the expetactions. That response video doesnt mean hes cool or awesome, only that hes a shameless guy.

You know, just cause a lot of people think this guy’s movies suck, doesn’t mean everyone does. Obviously there is a fan base for this guy’s work. So you know what, bravo to this guy for continuing to do what he loves to do. Fuck it. However, I personally don’t think this guy should even consider retiring just cause of some people that don’t like his movies. I think obviously this battle can’t be won. There are more people that don’t like this guy and are probably will to sign some stupid petition, but there are probably still enough people that like this guy’s movies to keep him in business. Again bravo.

P.S.
I was so happy this guy mentioned Michael Bay. I’m happy to know someone can actually talk to shit directly to him for the kind of shit he actually makes. Sorry to anyone who is in love with Michael Bay.

Also, I plan to see Postal instead of Indiana Jones opening weekend. Why? Jones will be a PACKED theater and will be hell trying to get in, not to mention trying to get a ticket. I’ll wait on Indiana Jones 4’s hooplah to die down before I go see it.

“anyone who says that this guy is genius because of an online video needs help.”

It’s not JUST the video, it’s a combination of a lot of things. The reason he’s a genius, is cause he’s not taking any of this seriously. He KNOWS he’s a bad filmmaker and he’s having FUN with it, and it’s causing everyone to get their panties in a bunch while he’s sitting in his mansion, laughing his ass off. THAT’S why he’s a genius.

Swarez: Guilty as charged, (to a degree), I’ve seen portions of other Boll flicks (Alone in the Dark) but not the entire film. I have seen IN THE NAME OF THE KING thought, and it is a minor form of genius in just how inept the direction of the film is….And how he can get such bad performances out of his actors…And the atrocious dialogue, and the obvious attempts at stealing from other (better) films…

Still, I have a soft spot for Bolls Shameless Self-promotion, and will go see POSTAL in those empty theatres on opening night, while everyone else is watching and aged-Harrison Ford…

Will Boll go down in History in the same degree of inept-earnestness as Ed Wood? Time will tell. The internet in generally seems to get a kick out of kicking him.

I haven’t seen most of his movies but I am willing to bet money that they are shit.

I feel bad that Jason Statham ended up in one of his movies, I love this guy.

The video was hilarious though. I just hope people are laughing because he’s such a jackass instead of thinking he’s a genius.

Here here, Swarez. Michael Bay probably has the same amount of talent as Boll, he’s just shit in a different (less entertaining) way.

Raise Your hands. Who here has actually seen some or any of his films?

Me personally, I’ve only seen one, House of the Dead. It was a piece of shit and managed to make me stay away from every other film the guy has done. But I’m actually excited to see Postal and look forward to see Tunnel rats as well.

My guess is that the vast majority of Boll haters have not seen any of his films and are just regurgitating stuff they’ve read online somewhere. Or they are like me, having only seen one or two and have been so outraged by what they’ve seen that they make an effort to slam the guy at any given opportunity.

I can’t say I hate his films because I’ve only seen one, I can only say I hate his first film. And I’m sure the VAST majority of haters out there have either seen just one or two or not even one.

I say anyone that calls Michael Bay a “fucking retard” on a public forum gets a thumbs up from me.
