The movie didn't capture the essence of the game at all. We couldn't feel the agony that made the postal man go postal. Most attempts to be funny or over the top, ended up feeling out of place.

This is probably the worst movie I have ever seen. Somebody needs to shoot Uwe Boll and stop him from making these horrible movies. I wish I could have my money back and better yet the time that has been taken from my life. This movie goes onThis is probably the worst movie I have ever seen.

It's not even enjoyable in a morbid way like some of Boll's other movies. At the point of making this, he's become an experienced enough filmmaker to not make incredibly stupid decisions. But those mistakes are what made his work funny to begin with, so now he's simply untalented and boring.… Expand

Postal was meant as his big 'F-you' to Hollywood and anybody else who ever said a bad word about him or his movies. So naturally he poured everything he had into it. The results are one of the most competently made works of his career. I just wish all of that effort had gone to something that wasn't so puerile.

Postal is ridiculous, disgusting, and offensive. Basically everything it was supposed to be. Boll was actively trying to push the boundaries of good taste and he succeeded marvelously. There are moments of genuinely outlandish comedy and it's even sporadically funny. Something that's mostly due to the talent involved rather than the actual content. Seriously, this has some of the best acting of any Uwe Boll movie. The cast was totally game.

The satire of post-9/11 America often leans too heavily into the exact same kind of pointless, excessive violence it criticizes. The messages also get buried under the intentionally gratuitous vulgarity of the material. Boll didn't realize that taking things too far in his effort to cross the line like he did was going to get in the way of what he was ultimately trying to accomplish.

Postal is the result of two conflicting intents that undermine each other to the point of accidental self-sabotage. This wasn't just a work of passion, but of egotism as well and it shows. It's almost perfect that the words "Live action South Park" can be found on the movie's poster. Because it too contains coarse language and due to its content should not be viewed by anyone. I still respect the heck out of the movie though, as it's legitimately one of the best of Uwe Boll's stint as a director. He really pulled out all the stops.… Expand

Uwe Boll tries too hard to capture the political satire that South Park has done in this film. A very bad film, and stupid film. A bad movie base off of a bad game

I think in my life, this is the first movie i had to stop after 30 minutes. It's a totally nonsense movie, it's neither a satire neither an action like the game.

I haven't seen any kind of disturbing violence, only very stupid sketches and really bad taste humor.

People who gave more than 1 :
1) must have serious psychological problems.
2) Are on some strong drugs.
3) Haven't watched this movie at all.
4)They are troll.… Expand
