BloodRayne
Revenge never tasted so sweet.
VAMPIRES
Reviewed by GeneralCinema

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+.

Bloodrayne is bad, it has fight scenes that look like the kinds kids would put on in their backyards with plastic lightsabers, it’s plot and story are miserable and actors Ben Kingsely, Meatloaf and Billy Zane should be down right ashamed of not only their performances in this flick, but for even their paychecks to the bank. BUT and it is a big but, this is probably the best Uwe Boll film.

Boll allows the blood to flow pretty freely in this one and at times there are even some decent scenes in the film, until and actor speaks or moves or a prop is used. Kristen Loken looked extremely hot in the role and her costume highlighted her ass and crotch with a vigor, but she never seems to be really into the role like she was in T3.

Compared to House of the Dead and Alone in the Dark, Bloodrayne is a masterpiece, but then again look what I am having to comparing it to.

4 of 10.
