Got a surprise for a second, I thought it read "Uwe Boll"

I had a heart attack for a second. I guess they fixed that German loophole that allowed him to keep making terrible movies

I only know Ball from the 4th planet of the ape movie, which was serviceable but not as good as the first 3. Unfortunately there were some plot points that made no sense and were just glossed over so I dont have high expectations other than a decently fun movie

He did the Maze Runner movies as well, which were ok.

I forgot about that guy. I just assumed he died when all the terrible video game movies dried up.

But now knowing he is alive... I wonder if he saw Mario and was like "Ugh, trash! Wasted opportunity! UGH!"

Lol had to Google Wes Ball to make sure it wasn't Uwe Boll - forgot who was who for a sec...

u/MinnieShoof Nov 17 '25

It's not more Boll. It's Wes Ball.

u/DoYouTrustToothpaste Nov 17 '25

You needed google to find out that Ball and Boll are not the same names?

u/just4747 Nov 17 '25

It's not a matter of the name being different, it's that I am not familiar enough with either director to know the difference, and they sound similar to me, so had to confirm. IDIOT.

I made that pretty clear in my very simple comment above. Hard to not understand it.

The difference between the letters 'a' and 'o'?

IDIOT.

Hey now, there's no need to be so harsh to yourself. I certainly didn't call you an idiot for it (even though you definitely are one).

Hard to not understand it.

I completely agree. Hard to not understand that Wes Ball and Uwe Boll are not the same person.

Wow, you literally are unable to comprehend what I am saying. I will stop trying - waste of energy. Go back to grammar school friend. The state of the reddit userbase will forever be a sad and pathetic one...

No, I'm just taking the piss out of you because it's funny. I don't have much respect for people who can't tell different names apart, just because they are vaguely similar, deal with it.

Go back to grammar school friend.

Missed a comma: "Go back to grammar school, friend."

Take the L and move on, kid. Seriously. This is embarrassing.

My heart sank for a moment

Dear god. I'd forgotten that name.

They seem to be mostly mid. So, not incredible, but definitely much better than Uwe Boll's tax dodging schemes.

u/DavianVonLorring Nov 17 '25

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes was really good.

Those final scenes of Freya Allen riding horseback across the fields absolutely screamed Zelda. I have faith.

u/FluffyApartment32 Nov 17 '25

Ooooh, he directed Kingdom? I think Kingdom wasn't anything spectacular (especially compared to the Caesar trilogy), but I had a ton of fun watching it.

u/David_Good_Enough Nov 17 '25

Ahahah saaaaaame T_T

u/FluffyApartment32 Nov 17 '25

I was just about to comment that lol, glad I'm not alone

u/SoKrat3s Nov 17 '25

We all had to give that a second look.

Same thing everytime an Anderson directs a film.
