BloodRayne

Posted : 1 year, 7 months ago on 1 April 2008 12:24 (A review of BloodRayne)

After watching this I think I might just be sick in the head because I kind of liked it. Perhaps I was just in a trashy mood. In my defence I haven't played the games so I couldn't tell you if it was a good adaption but then again a good adaption doesn't happen often.
It's not exactly the best film. For starters I thought "Hmm this must be rated 18+ for a very good reason" after seeing the back of the dvd cover showed dismembered bodies but to tell you the truth I don't think it was as bloody as it could have been. Sure it was graphic in parts but I've still seen far worse. Although I feel that could be because I had a high expectation of gore and blood lust. In saying that it did still deserve the 18+ rating but if you're used to real gore it's pretty tame.
Secondly the acting was pretty bad. The actors emotions were out of sync with their characters experiences. Come to think of it they didn't really seem to have emotions. It's as if they were on this even keel the whole time and feeling nothing no matter what happened. Maybe they thought a raised eye brow here and a glance there was an adequate expression of emotion in the scene. I think they need to take acting classes...
Finally I felt like there was something missing. I think the movie could of had more detail.
Other then that I liked it but that could just be because I'm a sucker for swords and chicks running around slicing and dicing... Who knows?

German gore

This is definitely one of the worst vampire films, and worst video adaptation I've ever seen.
Way too gory. Lots of scenes that shouldn't have been shown, and I actually mean useless scenes that did not need be shot.
Badly acted, badly directed.
And the costumes??? how inaccurate can they be. As if women in that time period were showing off their bellies. Please!
Much too much lighting for the time period as well.
Pure crap.
This must have been meant as a comedy, not a horror picture. Nothing scared me in the film.

Uwe Boll should be gutted

This is one of the worst movies I've seen.

well i saw the movie because the game was great, the trailer looked exciting, kristanna loken looked hotly lesbian, and actors i've respected and admired were signed in. but you can never trust that a great game would translate into a good movie despite it's great cast of actors or promising storyline because it's most likely bound to be (under)written with lots of Hollywood rubbish.

i wonder why ben kingsley or billy zane signed for it in the first place? they all look and sound uninspired in their acts. ben kingsley and michael madsen say their lines dryly. kristanna loken's moves look unpracticed and the bad camerawork doesn't do well at least in trying to flatter whatever artistic bit of it left.

really disappointing. uwe boll is really the master of error.

BloodRayne review

Just another movie that disappointed me. It wasn't a bad movie, don't get me wrong. It was quite entertaining which really is the most important aspect of any movie. But it failed in delivering any great acting or storyline that would want to keep you glued to your seat.

Probably a movie to keep for a rainy day.
