I'm
not sure where to begin with this farce. They should have called
it '95 minutes of your life wasted', it would have at least been
truthful.
I
know that the plot involves a Vhampir named Rayne who escapes
from a carnival and joins up with vampire hunters to kill her
father, Kagan, who is the most powerful vampire in the world.
Kagan is looking for three talismans - an eye, a heart, and a
rib - which when combined will give him unlimited power. After
that it gets lost somewhere.
It
sounds like Mr. Boll decided to combine BloodRayne and
Castlevania 2 to make this movie. The good thing about
this movie is that it looks like Uwe Boll is putting forth a little
more effort to make a good movie. Too bad he's got to try a lot
harder. I also blame Guinevere Turner, who wrote this tripe.
The
acting is some of the worst I've ever seen. I'm now wondering
how Ben Kingsley won an Oscar. During the movie, he did little
more than sit and stare. Granted there are some actors who can
pull this off well, but he's not one of them. Michael Madsen,
who usually does a good job, was giving pause between each line,
kinda like William Shatner. I'm also under the impression that
Meat Loaf should never act again.
This
brings me to the poorly done fake English accents. How many times
do people without accents try, and fail, to fake them? The worst
had to be Kristanna Loken's. It was painfully obvious that she
isn't from England, yet she still tried really hard to fake it.
Next
up is the action. Whoever the fight choreographer is needs to
be re-evaluated in their job. The fight scenes were pretty terrible,
although there was a lot of gore. It seems that the director is
a fan of Monty Python, since blood was spraying/shooting everywhere.
Speaking
of blood, there were some scenes in the movie where the blood
looked like chocolate syrup, and a good amount of the gore looked
incredibly fake.
Now
on to the sex scene. I have said, from what I've heard of the
movie, that this scene was not necessary. This scene shows us
that if you are about to be bitten by a Dhampir who is in a fit
of blood lust to have sex with them and it will ease their hunger.
The funny thing is that there was absolutely no sexual tension
between the characters before or after the scene.
Although
this is the best Uwe Boll movie that I've seen, it still blows.
I
give this movie a 2 out of 10, but I give Uwe Boll's effort a
C+.
