8 Filmmakers Who Were Pissed Off By Movie Critics

1. Uwe Boll LITERALLY Fights His Critics

Let's end on a bizarre one, shall we?

It's widely agreed that Uwe Boll does not make good movies, and in fact, he's only famous as a director because his films are so memorably bad. BloodRayne, Alone In The Dark, Far Cry, Postal... it's a career packed with rotten stinkers, and so, in 2006, Boll decided to turn the tables on his critics and give them a beating of their own.

But he didn't insult them on social media, or write an angry article about them - oh no. Instead, Boll chose to invite several of his most vocal critics into the ring for a boxing match. An actual, proper boxing match. We're not joking.

Four critics took part in this weird event (including Jeff Sneider, who is currently one of the most famous movie reporters in the business), and even though they outnumbered Boll, he still managed to knock the lights out of every single one of them. When the fights were over, Boll reportedly said that he now likes these critics, because they showed guts by venturing into the ring.

If only he put this much passion and effort into making good movies...

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
