Boll-Shit

I just did something stupid. I watched 2 Uwe Boll movies back to back, one after another. First was Dungeon Siege, the second was Blood Rayne 2. Both were painful experiences I'd rather not dwell on.

First off, if you're a fan of the colour brown and 10th rate Lord of the Ring knockoffs, then Dungeon Siege might be right up your alley. You'd think with a budget of 60 million dollars Boll could do something better. Think again. It's pure crap, pure trash and pure drivel. The action scenes are way too long, and he's tried to cram as much stuff from Lord of the Rings into one movie. Bleah. Double bleah. Lord of the Rings was a masterpiece. This is just shit. Pure Boll-shit. After this film, you'll never want to see the colour brown ever again.

Blood Rayne 2 was barely ok, for a direct to video release. But considering the budget of 20 million dollars, and the shitty photography, script and everything else...... I think a bunch of untrained paralytic pensioneers could do much better with nothing more than a handheld handycam. It's that bad. Shaky, uncertain, and hopeless scripting leaves this film with a lot to be desired. Malthe might be sexy as Rayne, but I was kinda expecting more.... action. There is action, yes, but not the sort I expected or even wanted. It was too scripted, too...... plain, too boring. It needed something more which wasn't present.

Both films are sorely lacking in the cinematography and post production department to say the least. I was bored after the first 10-15 minutes, and the scripts ... were too predictable. Way too predictable. Nothing new, nothing interesting. Mediocre at best.

In the end, good examples of how *NOT* to shoot a film. Not recommended to anyone at all. It'll just be a waste of a good 40 euros. I'm looking forward to Michael Clayton next.
