What was bad about his directing?
Maybe you have a problem with the concept, but that doesn't mean he's not a competent director.
If you're going to point to the over the top acting, it was supposed to be that way. And it was majestic.
Try to guess which famous celebrity I am.
Nothing is bad with his directing. Nothing. The movie literally makes a point to joke about this. "He's just a stupid guy with a poop fetish and can't stand to watch real blood". So you're right, Joe. People making comments like the OP probably think the concept is too gross.
And I agree about the over the top acting. You can almost imagine Tom Six going "No, Dieter, you're being to tame. More over the top, more!" and everyone around going "Holy *beep* this is so funny"
Well I'm glad that you and the other Tom Six fanboys found it funny. No one else did.
8% on Rotten Tomatoes and a whopping 1% on Metacritic - Bravo, Mr. Six! You're truly talented, guy. His soap opera-style of filmmaking is truly amazing.
why does it matter what Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic rates the movie at? i doubt anyone from those sites wrote, directed, produced a movie or have taken acting lessons. they are hardly qualified to tell us what a good movie is lol.
shareAh yes, that old chestnut - we have to be auteurs in the field to properly critique something right? Of course not, that's silly. It's the dying bastion of someone who has no real points left to make and yet refuses to acknowledge that a movie sucks. It makes no sense and if you think about it for more than 3 seconds you can see why.
My sandwich tastes bad, I guess if i'm not a chef I can't say anything. There's a nail hanging out of my wall, but since i'm not a carpenter I better keep my mouth shut. Well we still have ants even after the exterminator was here, however that's not my chosen profession so I can't call them on it. See how dumb that is?
By your logic, if someone made a 'movie' of just a person sleeping for two hours with no plot, no acting, no points to make, etc, we still couldn't say it's lazy and bad because we don't make movies professionally. Just admit (almost) everyone hates this movie, but you like it, and move on. Nobody will care, you can like whatever you want, just don't pretend we can't call a movie bad because we're not film makers.
It'll save you a lot of wasted time and embarrassment...

"My sandwich tastes bad, I guess if i'm not a chef I can't say anything."
subjective fool
"There's a nail hanging out of my wall, but since i'm not a carpenter I better keep my mouth shut."
a nail hanging out of a wall has nothing to do with carpentry. a carpenter's job is not to leave nails hanging. try going to a construction site and criticize real work. you'll get slapped in your little face
"Well we still have ants even after the exterminator was here, however that's not my chosen profession so I can't call them on it."
no because you are not an exterminator and do not know if they properly did their job
i don't care whether you like a movie or not, that's up to you. just don't criticize aspects of movie making you know nothing about.
you hate this movie? leave the board.
only a person with mental issues sits on an imdb board and puts a movie down constantly. do you keep eating foods you hate? date girls you find unattractive? if you hate an actor, fine go on their board, that's different. but to go to a movie that you hate board, to keep saying negative things is really mental. we studied this behavior in my psych class. honestly, its not normal
now be a good boy and go back to wanking it to the critic fraud Roger Ebert. he knew about as much as you about movies
"Try to guess which famous celebrity I am."
I'm guessing your a broke alcoholic has been.
having your main character *inhale* SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMM
*inhale*
EVVVVEEEERRRRRRYYYYYYYY SSSYYYYYYYYLAAAAAAAAAAABLLLLLEEEEEEEE
*inhale* FOOOOOOOOOOR THIIRRRRRTYYYYYYYYYYY
*inhale*
SEEEEEEEEEEEECOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNDDDDSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
in a thick German accent is definitely a mark of a horrible director.
Why a hater because the movie gets criticized, don't enter a movie discussion board as a fanboy, anyone with a remotely honest view sees that this movies just sucks monkey balls, poor dialogue, unbearable shouting of the lines not funny just headache, poor script, very poor cinematic, the one famous actor that is a well known failed one, so you know atleast it gonna be corny with no creativity. I dont say this to hate because as a Dutch man i really wanted to like his work but he is too full of himself and didnt make it true. It was a great concept, to bad this was it result.
shareI'm not here with the mentality of a fanboy, you are here with the mentality of a hater. You didn't like the movie for all the reasons you mention, which is fine, we could discuss those, but you start your argument by stating that anyone who did like the movie can't have an honest view.
Lets go point by point:
1- You didn't like the over the top acting .- Fair point. I did, I found it hilarious because it was intentionally bad like that.
2-Poor script.- Fair point, there's almost no argument and the movie rather runs as a joke about itself than a real movie. This was also obviously intentional.
3- Very poor cinematography.- It was meant to parody explotation flicks from the 70's, everything from the camera angles and the colors looks like one of those. Once again, intentional (and by this point it kinda proves that the guy knew exactly what he was doing)
4- The only famous actor didn't have a top notch career.- That has nothing to do with how good or bad this movie is
5- Tom Six is full of himself.- I really don't know, he refused me an interview so I didn't have the chance to actually talk to him, so I don't know. But again, it has nothing to do with the quality of the film
Now tell me that I didn't have an honest point of view while watching it. Do I think it's a good fun time? Yeah! That's about it. You think I'm less than you because I enjoyed it and you didn't? That puts you in the Hater group. It's not offensive being there. I'm in that group regarding several other movies.
The cinematography didn't feel like a throwback to the old exploitation films at all. A lot of the exploitation films from the 70's were pretty stylish, in a rough kind of way. This movie however felt more like a weird mixture of some cheap soap opera and unedited rough cuts, where the majority of the scenes were filmed in medium shots, with atrocious editing and obvious green screen effects sprinkled in here and there. It didn't look like a finished film. It didn't look like a rough exploitation/grindhouse flick, it looked like a sloppy student film.
Hobo with a Shotgun, Planet Terror, Death Proof (which sucks) and Black Dynamite replicated the look and feel of old exploitation flicks perfectly, this movie looks like a complete trash in comparison.
It's on par with Friedberg & Seltzer's films, Uwe Boll has proven he atleast has some talent with movies like Rampage and Darfur.
See? Now you did give a good explanation. Lets do remember that the topic is if whether Tom Six is a bad director or not. Does using the same software they use in youtube videos make him bad?.
I do get your point, anything produced by Robert Rodriguez did look better in that regard. But that means he's the worst director ever? I don't think so. I enjoyed this flick, I laughed, I cringed here and there. I can and will agree on certain technical aspects, but not that if I enjoyed it I must be a retard.
Did Tom Six set out to make a stupid movie? I'm sure he did. Was it meant to look cheap? It certainly was. But again, does that make him a bad director? A director with bad taste, maybe. But not a bad director. Not in my book at least.
And I do thank you for keeping this civil, IMDB boards tend to end up in insults
Uwe Boll and Tom Six are far from the worst directors ever.
CG GORE IS THE WORST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO THE HORROR GENRE!
Oh, I get it now! Six made a movie that only 11 or 12 people in the whole, entire world would understand and like. Well if Mr. Six ever graces you with that interview, would you be sure to tell him to put a nice big disclaimer on his next giant piece of crap? Something along the lines of:
"WARNING - THIS MOVIE IS INTENTIONALLY BAD! IT IS INTENDED FOR THE MINISCULE FRACTION OF THE MOVIE WATCHING POPULATION WHO ENJOY WATCHING *beep* MOVIES AND PRETENDING THEY ARE GOOD UNDER THE GUISE OF "ART". IF YOU DO NOT ENJOY WASTING MONEY ON MOVIES THAT SUCK, PLEASE SEEK OUT ALTERNATIVE ENTERTAINMENT OPTIONS!"
That would really help the rest of us in the future! Thanks!
Well sure! Why not? If he ever does speak to me, I'll tell him to put on that message. I'm pretty sure it was all implied in the promos of every single one of these films, but whatever.
But do promise me that you will also add your disclaimer stating "I think I know better than everyone else. So nobody should watch this garbage because I hate it. I'm a HATER of this movie!"
Fair trade?
quit crying. its only a movie. what did it cost to see? 10 bucks? are you from ethiopia or some third world nation? lol
shareKurt...first let me address the fact that you evidently are either racist or otherwise look down upon people based on their country of origin or economic well-being? there's no excuse for using "Ethiopia" or "other third-world country" in such a derogatory sense. You are very narrow minded person to believe that race or culture has anything to do with being able to identify a good vs bad movie. In such a derogatory sense. You are very narrow minded person to believe that race or culture has anything to do with being able to identify a good movie. Shame on you. You are what's wrong with this country.
Second, there is no way in hell I would have paid money to see this movie. Jokes on you I saw it for free on the Internet. Second, there is no way in hell I would have paid money to see this movie. Jokes on you, I saw it for free on the Internet. Kind of negates you're assumption I'm pissed because I spent $10 on it...I'm not pissed, I simply disliked his movie. I'm pissed you're a racist, I'm pissed you can't accept criticism and take it personally that I don't like a movie you like. It's not like you have any stake in my opinion at all, you had nothing to do with the movie.
i used ethiopia because i remember from tv that they had lots of people starving there years ago. i figured their economy was bad but its actually good now. Tanzania is poor so i will use that country instead
anyway, there is no such thing as a good or bad movie. the fact that you think its bad and i think its good proves that. we can both look at a blue car and agree its a blue car so it is fact and correct but we can't do that with a movie
we can both look at Adolf Hitler. i think he was a good man but you may think he's bad so Hitler can't be good or bad. facts are 100 percent agreed upon and not everyone agrees Hitler was good.
look, some people think this movie is good, others think its bad. since it can never be factually proven to be good or bad we are both correct in our personal opinions.
i saw this for free to. i'm not into the centipede stuff. i was 100 percent amazed by the warden. i've never seen anyone act like that and couldn't take my eyes off the screen. in all honesty i'd pay at least 3 dollars because of his weird performance
First of all, as bad as Boll is (and his films are atrocious), you can't really say he's the "worst director ever." There have been far worse directors in the past, and far worse filmmakers working todau. They just haven't attained the widespread exposure of Boll. (Ex. I think one could easily argue Coleman Francis is a far worse filmmaker than Boll.)
Second, I disagree that Tom Six is worse. Six's film are generally competently made from a directorial and visual standpoint, whether or not you like them. The same can't be said for most of Boll's work.
And FURTHERMORE, this is my signature! SERIOUSLY! Did you think I was still talking about my point?
No, sorry. No one is as bad as Uwe Boll.
