I've heard a lot about Uwe Boll being to worst director of all time, or at least close to it. Seeing that he made a movie titled Bluberella I presumed that wasn't far from the truth. But I've always been curious about the level of how bad it would be. I'm the kind of guy that can enjoy movies like The Starving Games or Megashark vs Giant Octopus or whatever so I figured I'd enjoy myself. So today I had a lot of free time so finally decided to give Uwe Boll's best rated and most well known movie a go. Rampage it is. Let's start on a positive note and go down from there. The script and acting aren't nearly as bad as I expected. The actors, especially the main actor, were decent at worst so no problems there. Even the script had it's moments. The action scenes itself were incredibly stupid at times but well made. However, they were filmed terribly. Let's start out by saying that I loved Cloverfield. The camera-work is similar to that... but 100 times worse. It made me seasick in a matter of minutes. The other problem was the story itself. It's basically about a guy who suddenly decides to go kill some random people, some cops and explode some stuff. The reason for this is vaguely hinted at but only becomes clear at the very last moment of the film. Up until that point you're basically watching a guy kill people with absolutely no reason to care. His reasons don't make up for the lack of story, not in the slightest. His reasons are paper-thin. And even worse than that, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense either. For a guy who wants to cleanse the world because there's simply too many people, he really doesn't kill that many at all. He had the means to kill so many more so why not do it? On top of that, he kills a few cops but he let's a whole home of elderly people live? How does that make any sense? You can say that the guy is deranged and there's no method to his madness and blablabla but that's way too easy. Even more than that's it's a damn shame Uwe Boll could have made a statement in an otherwise pointless movie and chose not to. He chose to shock instead. Sorry, but I'm not THAT easily shocked Mr. Boll.

85 minutes of boredom guaranteed when watching this. I know very little about the director except that he is known for making under average movies. Well this one certainly falls into that category. Story is very simple and basic (something 10 year old would come up with), acting is poor and it just doesn't have any appeal whatsoever. There's not much to say about this film because there is not much happening. And what is happening? A boy builds an armour, orders some guns and goes for rampage and that's it! no really that is it. There's no other story to it, there's hardly any emotions. I couldn't care less about any characters, so people getting massacred didn't really upset me because how bad the film was. Stay away from it, it's not even funny bad it's just distasteful and boring.

Film in the first place - is unique in its "habitat." Unique cinema from Uwe Boll, who often makes films far from universally accepted rules and stereotypes there every ... This work, I believe, so far - his best creation. The plot is based on the idea that supposedly could really splash out in real life and in a sense, what happens, but in a different format. We, Uwe Boll and screenwriter, showed that this version of events. Influence on which justified the influence of the same "wrong" of the world, which often introduces some people, in a figurative sense, in its specific FURY, FURY. Each different and someone just keeps playing on existing rules of life, adjusting and adapting to this environment live in their role and playing it. But here we see that the director and writer, show that there are people who absolutely do not want to succumb to the standards of conventional thinking. And they start looking for their way of life, which is different from the standards, and find themselves in critical thinking other that the rejection based on their confirmation and often categorically unacceptable for the average person. The final result which can be extremely unpredictable. That the director showed us in his version. In this sense - is a unique cinema. This creature trumpeted good enough level. The only drawback, although I know Uwe Boll does not think so, namely - is cruelty and barbarism, which is shown to us, although it is reasonable reflections of the protagonist, or, - the script. This film - a film example of this embodiment, and explanation of the events that could occur suddenly in our real world, behind the camera and games. And sometimes occur if occur. More as an option for consideration.

I've read the criticisms of Uwe Boll, heck I've seen House of the Dead and it was brutally bad. This movie, on the other hand, was all too good. Uwe Boll shoots and scores on this movie.I'm not a camera guru, but the movie is shot with a home video feel to it. The picture was a touch grainy and not all that crisp like you'd expect from a feature film. That didn't detract from the movie at all.Rampage is, unfortunately, a very familiar story in this day and age. From Columbine to Virginia Tech to Sandy Hook and, as of a few weeks ago, Isla Vista, and as of a few days ago, Seattle. A young man, just out of high school, is fed up with his life and people in general. So, he deals with it the way some young people have decided to do in recent history; he goes on a shooting spree.The movie does a brilliant job to tear at you much like the movie Falling Down. In other words, in no way would the average person condone random killings, but you are shown the frustrating events that occur to the young man to put him in a violent frame of mind. Ultimately, you can draw your own conclusions about the young man. Maybe some are enthralled by his actions while I know many would be absolutely mortified by his actions. The excellence of this movie was in the developing of this young man/monster.
