Thetwocentreviewbot I got this for 2 dollars and it included a computer video game with it. I should have just played the video game and rested my Triple gulp on the movie disc.Yes it is kind of my fault. You see whenever you combine a video game plot with director Uwe Boll you are asking for it. This movie delivers.A bloodletting of all senses and reason. I will start with one point that should offend any movie fan anywhere. This movie contains Ben Kingsley and Meatloaf . Oh I wish Kingsley's vampire character had feasted on a loaf of tar tare , but no I meant the "singer".Of course the "plot" is laughable. A sort of Angel meets Days of our lives. Also not that original . Yes , moody Troubled disaffected vamp broods about the unfairness of it all and the evil it is. I have to admit Kristanna Lokken looks better to me than David Boreanaz. Beyond that statement lies a compliment to Leelee Sobieski for simply knowing better. The rest of the cast is either half heart-ed or asleep at the frame. Who can blame them.I should give Billy Zane credit as the one who came off best , but I like him and don't want to insult his career by ever suggesting this turn is resume worthy.What did I expect? Boll movies have a reputation for being what they are. None the less a review was deserved.

pontram I want to strike a blow for a movie that seems to be one of the worst movies, when you follow the ratings and verdicts here. But it's easy here to rate one star without watching a movie, and also without giving one thought to.Of course it isn't an artwork, a masterwork, or comparable to high budget productions a la Lord Of The Rings. Instead, it fits right into a solid line of straight-to-video productions, or some bigger TV Adventure movies, but is definitively enjoyable for people who don't expect a lifetime experience from Uwe Boll. But at least, one have to respect the genre outside the Tolkien realm. If not, the movie has no chance at all.It is a simple story about a girl that wants revenge for the killing of her mother by her father, who is the most powerful Vampire, and also wants to be ruler of the world. Kristanna Loken as Rayne does a good Job being sexy, powerful and filled with hate and blood hunger. The others are OK, and Ben Kingsley does keep a low profile, because he has not very much to do except being old Ben Kingsley. Directing is not great, I admit that, it is at max, zealous. Definitevly it is better than in any of the infamous Asylum Movies i've seen, in terms of storytelling, actors leading and so on. The only one bigger mistake is that the short history of Raynes romance with Sebastian is revealed at the end of the movie, so that the short sex scene with him looks quite unfounded.If there wouldn't be so much blood and gore, it could pass as a movie for youngsters. I remember watching such movies (of course without gore and without nudity), when I was ten or twelve.

dominik-lippert 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.

Al_The_Strange I never expected anything great or smart or even coherent out of this. I went into it totally blind, wanting nothing more than a cheap and cheesy B-movie with lots of sex appeal and lots of blood and gore. And you know what? The film delivered! There are really only a couple of reasons to watch this film: for the incredible blood and gore effects (which are fantastic in the unrated cut, but incredibly subdued in the original theatrical version) and for Kristanna Lokken's performance, of which I am particularly fond of.This film has earned its name as one of the all-time worst films ever made for a few good reasons though. First and foremost, it has absolutely nothing to do with the original video game. The game pitted the titular dhampir against Nazis during WWII, to find some Atlantean artifact and fight monsters and vampires...this movie throws it all out the window and just has Rayne in the Dark Ages embarking in a simple revenge story. It does little-to-no justice to its source material. Even on its own merits, the film is hobbled together with seemingly-random scenes, some of which could have been cut entirely. The best that can be said is that the story is serviceable; it's coherent enough to follow the characters and the action, but it is riddled with plot holes, inconsistencies, and frivolous scenes.As far as the film itself goes, the single most redeeming value will be its photography; despite a few shaky-cam scenes, the camera work is pretty solid at times. Acting is atrocious; I read that Michael Madsen was drunk when they filmed this, and it shows. Michelle Rodriguez puts on her standard tough-girl act, Matthew Davis offers some horrid line delivery, Meat Loaf offers a strange and frivolous cameo, it's hard to take Billy Zane seriously in anything he does, and even Ben Kingsley shows weakness as a flat and emotionally-void villain. The only bright spots here will be Michael Pare and Kristanna Lokken, who still contributes to the pool of bad acting with some bad dialogue and some incredibly weak-looking fight choreography. I only give her a pass, partly because she offers some decent sex appeal here, but mostly because I like the expressions and her mannerisms as Rayne (much unlike Natassia Malthe, who does manage to be more physically appealing, but plays it so tough that she becomes unlikable). Writing is terrible across the board; lines are simple and stupid, and their deliveries are often weak. This production does have some really wicked blood and gore effects. Sets, props, and costumes generally get the job done, but aren't terribly great either. Special effects are pretty bad. Music is alright.As Uwe Boll's third video-game adaptation, he pretty much strikes out (and strangely, never does give up the game). Chances are that you may watch all his movies and find them "so bad they're good," but most will just dismiss them as "so bad they're bad." In the case of BloodRayne, it is indeed a bad film and a missed opportunity for making a quality game adaptation (somewhat redeemed with BloodRayne: The Third Reich, but even that's pretty trashy). As it is, BloodRayne comes down as one of my ultimate choices for a guilty pleasure, since it is rather entertaining with its frivolous sex and violence, but most other viewers will not be so easily appeased.2.5/5 (Entertainment: Good | Story: Poor | Film: Very Poor)
