what we are trying to say here is that by their very nature video games *lack* the material that makes a good movie. It does not matter *who* is making them , it could be Elvis reincarnated, the man on the moon, my nutjob mother-in-law, or Mickey Mouse. The end result would *still* be the same.
Also, I have always been of this view, long before I ever even heard of Boll, so there's no stereotyping going on here.

And I completely disagree, and think that a lot of video games, even ones with very sparse and generic stories can be elaborated on, expanded upon, and gratified into a completely new and original story for a movie.
For instance, an elder scrolls movie, that has a LOT of material to work with, and can easily be made into a movie. So can Diablo 2 or titan quest, even though their stories are kind of lacking.
All video games have the potential to make a great story for a movie, it's really not as impossible as everybody thinks it is. But if Uwe boll keeps taking the role of making these video game movies, then yes, it is impossible. Just think of how many fanfictions are out there. A fanfiction is just a few steps away from being a movie script, and a fanfiction for many of the video games out there are actually quite good (just from my experience).
