View Full Version : The Postal Movie Is Really Bad

Apparently, the opening intro is funny, and the rest is just a pile of flat jokes and offensive content just for sake of being offensive. Don't take my word for it, take Wired's:

"Boll seems out to shock his audience into stunned disbelief rather than actually entertain them. Early in the movie, we get a long, leisurely shot of a fully nude Foley scratching his reproductive organs. I don't want to sound like I personally was offended or shocked by anything. In fact, the only time I laughed was during the movie's opening sequence, a comedy skit in the cockpit of one of the September 11 airplanes (they're fighting over the number of virgins they get in Paradise). It was legitimately well-paced and funny. But it was followed by 90 minutes of flat jokes."



Here's the full story for your reading pleasure at Wired Game|Life (http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/08/having-a-boll-s.html)

Update: It looks like Uwe felt the need to respond. (http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/08/you-dumb-fck-uw.html)

At this point can we start calling Uwe Boll the modern day Ed Wood?

I remember reading his initial impressions of the movie a while back and thought about posting it.

I think Kohler has good taste with a lot of things, and he's pretty funny himself, so I trust his opinion.

Besides, this is Boll we're talking about here!

I'm not sure why people have been getting the idea that overnight Boll was going to learn how to make a movie. All his previous films are so bad they only go to prove that some people can't learn.

And I tried watching that opening scene, and can't say as I even found that bit funny.

I wonder if they're going to keep the scene with kids being shot up at an amusement park, it will be interesting to see what kind of backlash that creates.

Why this guy hasn't been shot by an angry film goer after one of his pathetic, abominable excuses for a piece of shit movie, I'll never know. Why people even bother to write reviews about his movies, I'll never know.

If there is a God, Uwe Boll is proof that God is an asshole.

Everybody that watched:

Scary Movie 1 - 55
Hot Shots Part 2 - 60
Naked Gun 2 - 34


There is a huge audience. Notice, Airplane is not on that list, nor will it ever be!!!

Because this guy made enough money off of some retards when he first started directing, (I think one film of his was good...a while ago though), and now he himself buys the rights to video games for movies so he can keep fucking ruining them. He has bought the rights to some really good video games. I saw a list not to long ago, and I almost started crying because this fucker is going to ruin the industry. I say we as gamers, and Americans(or non-Americans) boycott this fucker until he sales off the rights he has bought to someone worth directing. Anyone who defends this shithead is just scared of getting beat up by him, like he did those other critics.

Funny i was actually at this event (as we make the video game), every one in the theater was laughing a LOT, and they gave Uwe a standing ovation at the end of the screening. Now while im not claiming the movie is GREAT, it is pretty funny and if people are dumb enough to pay to see all the scary movies and epic movie then they they will definately see POSTAL. Its a stupid comedy, its not meant to be taken any other way, and believe ME, its a MILLION times better then anything else that Uwe has spewed forth upon society.

And im NOT just saying that cuz i have interest in the film, i didnt want him doing the film anymore then any of you did. But he did, and he actually did a decent job doing it. Yes there are some flat jokes, but there are some funny jokes too.

Hey now, while Mr Jaret does indeed work at the game dev house, runningwithscissors, the same studio that makes the postal game series, naturally they would have a vested interest in promoting this movie. This is not the Case with RWS, they often make fun of their own games and the such and if this movie was god horrible, they would probally be the first one to say so.

You honestly couldn't pay me money to go and see one of his films. On your word alone, I'm inclined to believe that everyone who stood and clapped at the film should have been stabbed in their eyes. Uwe Boll has never made a good movie, nor will he ever. He has no talent, and he's working with a property that probably didn't need to be made into a movie.

Don't take it personally man, I can't call you a shill since you admit to having a part in the game, I just think that being involved in the game has your view skewed a bit.
As for getting personal, why go there... unless your talking about something else, and if so, ew.

ya i do work at Running With Scissors, and like i said WE DID NOT WANT HIM MAKING THE FILM but a deal is a deal and were a small company so having a game made is something that even we as a small developer wanted done. We didnt want the movie to be a slap stick comedy like it is, but thats what Uwe wanted. Like i said, he didnt strike comedy gold, SUPERBAD is comedy gold, i saw that last wednesday (funniest movie i have ever seen to be honest), but POSTAL is its own entity. It stands up to the shit that it stands next to (Airplane, Epic movie, Scary Movie, Hot Shots, and all the other stupid slapsticks) Like i said, you dont have to believe me, but it is the best movie hes made so far, and i REALIZE that isnt saying much....but take it for what its worth!

BUT, you should go see Superbad...that shit is a 2 hour non-stop fuckin LOLfest...i guarentee that!

Here's a link to the QA session that happened after the movie presentation during the Fantasia Film fest in Montreal.

Uwe ran away during the presentation of Dungeon Siege with a dummy excuse... it probably was the first time he saw the whole movie and found that it sucked so much he left.


Postal is great because the movie doesn't take itself seriously. It's very far from the Airplanes and Top Secret movies, but I could see Uwe do successful movies of that type.

The german tax break... Irony is that Uwe was one of the few directors using it the RIGHT way. Get x$ funding from a company for a movie. Movie has to be a German production, ie: has to give jobs to Germany residents.. Can affiliated with another country. Then, if the movie does not make x$, the loss can be declared as a tax break from the funding company. Other directors just produced their movies somewhere else and companies claimed the tax break.

The loop that was closed will affect other directors. Not Uwe Boll.

Besides, he said it himself in the movie how he gets his money. Hidden Nazi Gold.

You know I almost believe that this film can be surprisingly mediocre. Sort of like Mindhunters...BloodRayne was horrible because it wasn't bad ENOUGH...maybe Boll is actually slowly grinding his way up the filmmaker class.

Unfortunately, I prefer "so bad it's good" as opposed to "so bad it's mediocre"....

All ranting and large text aside, this complete invalidates your opinion on anything. Airplane it fast-paced, smart, and does new and creative things - while it includes slapstick, and is a parody, the movie contains jokes from all over the spectrum.

Brilliant race jokes that don't offend. Jokes you don't see until the third time you watch it. Witty wordplay. Visual joke after visual joke. A movie that builds slowly up to a comedic crescendo.

...and you compare this to epic movie. A movie that doesn't understand that "parody" is not simply "look at this scene from another movie". A movie that winks at the camera after every joke. A piece of "cinema" that somehow thinks "Napoleon Dynamite" should count as an "epic".

I'm just going to say that because this movie is better than his previous crap, it doesn't necessarily make it good. Let's say that instead of a director, he was a pedophile. Just becuase he occasionally has sex with an adult, it doesn't make him less disgusting. Uwe Boll is the "pedophile in prison" of filmakers. He is the lowest of the low. IMO

i didnt compare epic movie to airplane, i used them in the same sentance comparing POSTAL to other slap stick comedies. Doesnt matter if one is fast paced and one is pure stupid parody, they are BOTH slapstick comedies reguardless of what you think of them. So PLEASE dont put words in my mouth or assume what im saying.

On another note, claiming that i dont know what good comedy is because i work at RWS is ignorant, just cuz i work here doesnt mean i WRITE our dialogue or actually develop the game.

No, see, that's what makes Uwe so awful. His movies are just horrible, and ONLY horrible. Despite many people saying so, he's just another run of the mill awful director, though he's slightly more stand-out-ish because even bad movies these days tend to have at least SOME touch of professionalism, no matter how microscopic.

What you're talking about is reserved for the likes of Coleman Francis. Coleman's movies are painful because, well, they exist. If Uwe had that kind of anti-talent, he'd have a point, but he doesn't. He's just a bad director who is seen as painful because he takes a lot of liked game IPs down with him.

But then again, I'm a MSTie, so I know about many film horrors most of people these days have the pleasure of being ignorant to. :p

it's Postal, what did you expect? If anything it is way better than I ever expected if you said there is at least 5sec of ok viewing.

That sucks because the trailer I saw was the only scene he liked and I kinda wanted to see the movie after watching the trailer.

i didnt compare epic movie to airplane, i used them in the same sentance comparing POSTAL to other slap stick comedies. Doesnt matter if one is fast paced and one is pure stupid parody, they are BOTH slapstick comedies reguardless of what you think of them. So PLEASE dont put words in my mouth or assume what im saying.

On another note, claiming that i dont know what good comedy is because i work at RWS is ignorant, just cuz i work here doesnt mean i WRITE our dialogue or actually develop the game. I WORK AT RWS.....wait lets do analogies like everyone else. just cuz you work at mcdonalds doesnt mean you EAT big macs....was that good enough?

but in all seriousness....i love you guys, lets sing a song k?

I share the same humor as the RWS games, and being a fan of horror movies that are "so bad they are good", I can definately see myself enjoying Postal.

By the way, I hope you're not RWS texture artist, cause if so, YOU SUCK! Anyways, enjoy all your other work ;)

Looks like Uwe responded to the review on Wired.

chris
your review shows me only that you dont understand anything about movies and that you are a untalented wanna bee filmmaker with no balls and no understanding what POSTAL is. you dont see courage because you are nothing. and no go to your mum and fuck her ...because she cooks for you now since 30 years ..so she deserves it.
people like you are the reason that independent movies have no chance anymore.
uwe boll
PS: POSTAL is R RATED . The MPAA understood the satire -- you not -- you dumb fuck

You stay classy Mr. Boll.

That's classic.
Even given that English isn't his first language, I would be hard-pressed to tell the difference between what he wrote, and the spewing of some random 10 year old on a forum. I mean, he makes bad movies, we all know that.

I didn't know that he was also a complete moron on top of it.

From Boll:
"His whole goal is to destroy my business. If he cannot see that scenes are genius in that movie - then there are 2 possibilities: he is dump and has no idea what movies are or he hates me and is dissappointed about his own shitty career."

Seriously man, "he is dump"? Just go back to making whatever unfunny piece of shit you have lined up next week.
And "upset about his shitty career"? That's the Black Cauldron calling the kettle black.

It would fit right in with gems like "and no go to your mum and fuck her ...because she cooks for you now since 30 years ..so she deserves it."

I'm not even sure who's being insulted, evidently his mother...maybe...
Poor bastard, his mother "cook for you now since 30 years!" oooohhhh burn!

Being horrible is just as useful as being good. Boll gets tons of attention and press for sucking badly. It works for him.

Holy shit did I miss all the fun! Uwe Boll lost it didn't he. I can see another boxing challenge for the cry baby in the near future.

Oh BTW, I compared Uwe Boll to Ed Wood because Uwe Boll sucks, and Ed Wood sucked. It's as simple as that, calm down.

It's hilarious how defensive people are getting when some guy comes in and merely says it doesn't suck completely. It's enough to make one more developer regret even trying to talk to the gaming community.

I don't think it's surprising that he keeps making movies, because no matter how much they suck they are cheap enough to make and high profile enough to make their money back... eventually. I just wonder how they manage to keep being high profile. I mean postal/bloodrayne/dungeon seige aren't exactly household names, this should be straight to video along with all those horror movies starring rappers.

It'd probably be a better area for Uwe Boll to win people over in. Theaters are high profile and he's not that good. But if he were to go straight to the DVD release... it'd still suck. But at least his movies would have that it-sucks-but-it's-on-DVD kind of rent and forget appeal.

OMG you sound hawt, pm me! ;)

I want Seanbaby to kick his ass! When Uwe challenged all of those people, Seanbaby said he wanted in on it. When Uwe found out that he was huge and practiced Muy Thai, he refused. Uwe is a retarded, oversensitive pussy. Did any one hear what the creator of Metal Gear said when Uwe told a publication that he wanted to direct that movie? Not only did he tell them that he wanted to direct it, but he said that talks were in process...it was a lie! Someone should post that interview...It was a huge diss to Uwe.
