Before I watched this movie I read a lot of the one star reviews here on Amazon. I must say they significantly lowered my expectations for this movie. Now, this isn't a good movie by any means, but after reading all the negativity, I was expecting something much much worse... like worst movie I could ever imagine, but this movie is better than Manitou (that's one of the worst films I ever saw).
Now, my review is strictly based on the movie for this is my first experience with the Bloodrayne universe. I've been desperate to find another Femme Fatale character I could get into since Chaos! Comics closed up shop and stopped printing Purgatori. I found out they were also making Bloodrayne comics and her character looked interesting. I'm very backlogged in my video games and I have not been able to play the games yet, but I plan on playing them soon!
As I've already mentioned, this movie actually beat what I was expecting based on the reviews I read here... that or I am quite easily amused. There are some absolutely horrible parts of this movie though; like Michael Madson's character, Vladamir, always felt out of place. He just didn't act well in this movie, it's not Resovoir Dogs. Kristanna Loken did an alright job as Rayne though, better than I was expecting. The love making scene was absolutely hilarious though because it was so over exaggerated. And, yes, she is seen topless, for those who only wanted to see the movie for that fact alone. Ben Kingsley did a fairly poor performance throughout the whole film, up until the very end during the fight scene. I thought he finally held the air of royalty as the vampire lord during that scene.
The other part of the movie that was absolutely laughable was the gore from the fight scenes. Seriously, they're absolutely absurd, even for a medieval enactment. There's one scene where this one guy puts a sword through another guys face then lets go of the sword. Who does that? No, you KEEP your blade or else you're screwed; you don't let go for the sake of a good camera gore shot. Then there's a part where it shows this guy on the ground and a group of men hitting him in the face with maces. The "guy" or mannequin's face is turned to pulp, but do they stop after he's dead? Nope, five guys stand there and keep hitting the ground. They even looked bored doing it... there's nothing maniacal about these evil attackers.
In the end, I was actually entertained. It doesn't have a lot of re-watch value, but it's good enough to watch with friends... especially those who will offer up the perfect sarcastic comment at just the right time. One thing I will warn, do NOT pay full price for this film. Wait till it costs six dollars used. It is an absolute waste of 20 dollars full price, even if it comes with the Bloodrayne 2 video game. |
