Great Film overall
Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
I guess this movie isn't quite as awful as "House Of The Dead" or "Alone In The Dark" but it's still horrendous. I feel once again bad for not being a fan of the "BloodRayne" games as I would have hated it more if I had been. Of course, you don't need to be a fan to know that this had nothing to do with the game. This movie has a plot where a woman who's half human and half vampire has to stop a villain played by Ben Kingsley from getting all four of these body parts he needs to become the most powerful vampire in the world. It's as stupid as it sounds. I'm astonished they got someone as famous as Ben Kingsley for this.Yes, it's easy to say that this is the worst movie he's ever worked on. What Uwe Boll film wouldn't? At this point, I notice the same mistakes appearing in all of his films. The CGI is terrible, the slow motion is obnoxious and it's very boring. Oh, and I was amazed to see Meat Loaf's name in the credits too. Then again, I may have been so bored and apathetic about this movie that I didn't even notice he was in it. The dumbest aspect is probably how the vampires are weak against water. Yes, any water of any kind.It's so stupid because they actually reference holy water which is supposed to be the vampires' weakness. So what is the purpose of holy water? Like "Alone In The Dark" there are these two characters that meet for a minute and then they start having sex. Even worse, the film has one of the most insane endings ever. The last part is literally four minutes of the main character sitting in a chair and having flashbacks to the rest of the movie. Oh yeah, flashbacks were a noticeable mess in "House Of The Dead". I stand corrected. THOSE are more of the dumb things recognizable in Boll's movies. *
Although Uwe Boll has a reputation for being one of the worst directors working today, I have found a few of his films—Rampage, Darfur and Assault on Wall Street—to be surprisingly good. Bloodrayne, on the other hand, sees the director at his worst, the film proving virtually unwatchable despite an impressive supporting cast (Michael Madsen, Michelle Rodriguez, Billy Zane, Ben Kingsley, Udo Kier, Meat Loaf, Michael Paré), gore effects by German splatter-meister Olaf Ittenbach, and a gratuitous topless scene from its sexy star Kristanna Loken.Loken plays a half-vampire/half-human pair of breasts called Bloodrayne, who, with the help of a group of vampire slayers, seeks revenge on Kagan (Kingsley), the bloodsucking fiend who raped and killed her mother. This simplistic plot is told in such a convoluted manner that it soon becomes virtually incomprehensible. Boll commands wooden performances from all involved and employs a plethora of irritating, gimmicky film-making techniques, reducing Ittenbach's gore effects to blink-and-miss-it splashes of red (although the unrated director's cut shows much more of these in an end-of-movie montage), rendering the action dull and lifeless, and obscuring Loken's butt with a table during her sex scene.This terrible film has since spawned two sequels (Loken wisely handing over her role to Natassia Malthe), both courtesy of Boll, and both of which have terrible ratings on IMDb. Can't say that I'm very surprised.2.5/10, very generously rounded up to 3 for the OTT splatter in the Unrated version.
The Bloodrayne Licence is from now just another Victim from "OUR GREAT" German Director Uwe Boll. Some Movies are crap, but they have some sympathetic hilarious Moments. Bloodrayne is just crap! What was Sir Ben Kingsley thinking, as he agreed to be a part of this Movie!?! The Sexscene with Kristanna Loken is the only Reason I gave this Movie 3 Stars. The Best Part of the Movie is the End, but I don't want to spoiler it;) You have to watch this Move by yourself, if you have the iron will. Maybe with some friends, Beer and specially Hard Drugs you almost can enjoy this Movie. I know Uwe Boll directed a Prequel, but right now I'm not in the mental shape to watch these.
This is a movie that you can either enjoy or hate (or both!), but in a nutshell it is the combination of terrible direction, mediocre script and a surprisingly good cast. Some scenes can make you laugh (despite the intention of the filmmaker), other shots are good, aerial ones for example. Others are a joke. Acting can go from decent to terrible. There is something that keeps me wondering and that is having people like Kingsley and Chaplin here. I think it is perfect for a group of young men, an afternoon with friends, having bowls of popcorn, screaming and laughing, if only to see Kristanna as Bloodrayne (there is also some -most welcomed- nudity). Still wondering what Ben Kingsley is doing here, maybe paying some bills? yeah, we all need to work for a living.
