It Was a Movie: Postal

The only thing I remember about Postal the game was the ability to pee on anything. That sounds like great material for a movie:

Uwe Boll is the king of bad game movies, but Postal isn't as much fun to watch as his other atrocities. This time, Uwe Boll is in on the joke, and he's constantly winking at the audience. He's even in the movie playing himself.

There are a lot of attempts at controversy, including an opening scene that tries to shed a comedic light on 9/11, and a scene were children are murdered by automatic weapons. It comes across as desperate. Still, the biggest offense is that this supposed comedy elicits few laughs.

I'm still shocked by that scene where all those kids are shot up. He went further than I had anticipated there.

I was only shocked/offended by one scene (and that scene was even briefly shown in the trailer above). It's the scene where the baby carriage gets hit by the vehicle.

And here's where I sound like a lunatic: I actually enjoyed this movie. It's the only Uwe Boll movie I like. Postal the game was offensive and Postal the movie was offensive. Unlike some movies I've seen lately that try to be offensive, Postal knows it's source material is offensive and it revels in it.

Now, don't get me wrong. It's not a good movie by any means but I enjoy watching the movie.

Uwe Boll will never take any part of my life away from me. It's sad that he was given the chance to screw up so many videogame franchises.
