It seems like Bloodrayne has just fizzled out. The games were good, but too seldom do games go to movies that turn out even half decent. This movie has once again demonstrated that games-to-movies just doesn't work most of the time. It seems like Bloodrayne has just fizzled out.

Both Sci Fi, both old, heck, same movie, right? Not. These 10's are obviously trolls with the futile agenda of making someone think it's worth spending money on. "The first great vampire masterpiece"? Words fail me. "sat riveted from start to wonderful finish"? Maybe this person had an exciting dream when they dozed off during Madsen's dead-pan. And what was with the stilted attempt at old-world dialect suddenly interrupted with phrases like "pee on"? Was I halucinating or did Loken slip into a fake British accent at the end? Unintentionally hillarious from start to finish. The "blood splatter effect guy" had a bigger budget than the writers.… Expand

It is for you to decide if it is entertainingly bad or just awfully bad. Just for reference: Uwe Boll is a legendary director. He is famous for making some of the worst movies in recent history and using a German tax shelter to fiance his movies (German stupid money was the applied term). It is the (origin) story of Rayne who is a Dhampir (Half-Vampire) and her struggles with her heritage, life and Vampire father. As you can already see by the ratings the movie is bad. This includes the acting, (out of character) decisions and story. I must admit that it is entertainingly bad and I had a lot of fun. I know that this is unitentionally and I should rate this lower but it is my honest opinion and why should I lie here. Overall a guilty pleasures of a hilariously bad but entertaining movie. You will either enjoy it because of this or hate it with passion.… Expand

(To every person who blithely claims this is the worst film ever I recommend Raptor Island on the Sci-fi network as a primer on how bad genre films can actual be or perhaps a made for PAX disaster film such as the obviously titled Killer Flood: The Day the Dam Broke.) Yes Uwe's House of the Dead was a particularity stupid film. I hated it too. But Uwe knows how to point his camera in the general direction of the action and keep the action at a pace that holds ones interest.

BloodRayne is a surprisingly enjoyable genre romp. Yes all the individual criticisms at the film from the bizarre choices in hair pieces and costumes to the silly dialogue are true. But c'mon it's a video game/vampire movie. Really how high are ones expectations going in? For a video game movie it isn't half bad. (Its tons better than say Doom, not as tightly put together as say Resident Evil) Uwe brings a refreshing European sensibility to sex and violence in the movie (In other words plenty of gratuitous nudity and violence). He also makes good use of the Romanian landscape bringing an almost Peter Jackson feel to the proceedings.

Also in campy side of things it's always fun watching Hollywood professionals ruin careers for the sake of a paycheck. (The way Madsen looks and acts in this movie I wouldn't hire him to do my lawn and Kingsley acts as if he is auditioning for the Mr. Burns role in an upcoming live action Simpson's movie) So Uwe Boll isn't the next Ed Wood more a talentless Paul Verhoeven. Hey at least his films are getting better and BloodRayne is a surprising fun film for those with a less discriminating taste.… Expand

The plot is awful, if you can even call it a plot and the acting is terrible too. The premises is just stupid and it focuses more on inappropriate aspects than an actual story. I understand why critics called this movie a FAILURE and if I had been weary of this awful movie I would have watched it, ugh! this movie's awful! This reinforces my point about movie-adaptions of games. You cannot adapt a game into a movie without it sucking and you cannot adapt a movie into a game without the game sucking. In my opinion, leave a video game a video game and leave a movie a movie. And to this movie...the reason why this movie is probably so bad is because there was no effort in making this movie I mean...how do you make a bad movie when you try? The director probably threw this train wreck together as a way to make quick cash well if you don't try then don't expect your movie or game to get money or good reviews. Try, and your product will get glory. Overall, Bloodrayne was a terrible movie that shouldn't be watched at all. My advice: Stay away from the movie! The games were decent (from critic reviews I've heard so, after this movie I don't plan to play the games, well I don't have an interest for them) but the point is don't watch it, I did and I regretted it.

Saw 'Bloodrayne' and its two sequels out of curiosity to see if they were as bad as their terrible reputation. As well as seeing whether one of the worst directors of all time Uwe Boll was capable of making a good film. On top of that, likeSaw 'Bloodrayne' and its two sequels out of curiosity to see if they were as bad as their terrible reputation. As well as seeing whether one of the worst directors of all time Uwe Boll was capable of making a good film. On top of that, like Ben Kingsley a lot as an actor and he is reason enough to see anything he's involved in. Did not have my hopes up, because even looking at the advertising and trailers 'Bloodrayne' looked awful.

The terrible reputation and dubious advertising do not lie. 'Bloodrayne' to me and many others really is that bad, bad actually is an understatement. Have come to the conclusion that Boll is incapable of making a halfway decent film, have not seen everything of his but all that has been seen has been terrible and as bad as their reputation. As someone who is usually very generous rating and reviewing films, 'Bloodrayne' does stand out as one of the worst films seen recently and actually full stop. Everything is abysmally executed and there are no redeeming qualities at all, have said that about very few films seen recently.

'Bloodrayne' couldn't be more inept visually. Photography that is both chaotic and static, bacon-slicer-like editing, drab costumes that don't fit the setting, continuity errors galore (more than anybody can count), afterthought-like visual effects, lighting completely lacking in atmosphere, those can all be found. The music sounds cheap and is never dynamic with anything on screen, often working against it and like it belonged in another film entirely.

Writing is horrendously stilted and cheesy, enough to make one want to vomit and the unintentional camp later on becomes exhausting. The action has no momentum or excitement whatsoever, is chaotically edited, under-rehearsed choreographically and a lot of it is incomprehensible. It really takes ineptitude to a whole new level. As is the story, it never comes to life and is not easy to follow often. Boll's direction is typically non-existent and cold, comparing him to Ed Wood is rather insulting when although Wood's films were the complete opposite of fine heart one could see that he had his heart in the right place (something that has never been the case with Boll). The characters are walking cliches that are neither interesting or worth rooting for, instead bland and irritating.

You know something is wrong when the best performance comes from an angry-looking Michelle Rodriguez. Elsewhere there is an emotionless lead, Meat Loaf's uncomfortable cameo and Michael Madsen and Billy Zane going through the motions. Worst of it is Kingsley in his worst ever performance, taking hamminess and chewing-scenery-to-pieces to mind-boggling extremes.

Summarising, completely bloodless and appallingly awful. 1/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

this abomination trilogy killed the game ip. ironically, it's sucked (pun intended) the life of this franchise until it died. it's not even bankable no more bcuz the movie studio kept churning out these fan films that literally had nothing tothis abomination trilogy killed the game ip. ironically, it's sucked (pun intended) the life of this franchise until it died. it's not even bankable no more bcuz the movie studio kept churning out these fan films that literally had nothing to do with the games. it's so bad that rayne's voice actress Laura Bailey said at her panel at Anime Boston 2007 what's her thoughts were on the film adaptation?, and she said: "Oh God, that movie sucked. And that movie was so bad. I saw it on The Movie Channel and I couldn't even get through 20 minutes of it! It was so bad and it was kinda sad that they took that because I really liked the games"

this movie is soo bad that it's $25 million budget, was no way spent on this film the money was most likely pocketed, fan films on youtube with $100 budget looks better than a film that had a budget of 25 million dollar. they so creatively bankrupt that the second film takes place in a western LMFAOOO! whoever hired Guinevere Turner to write this trash movie should also be let go of there job and never work at hollywood ever again this movie suprisgly didn't end Michelle Rodriguez career bcuz this movie is not only a franchise killer but also a career killer. also everything that Kristanna Loken has appeared in area all terrible, she's the lead of this movie but always have a deer in the headlights whenever she's on screen like she never acted before it soo amateur and soo trash that this movie had to be done all in one take. this movie has even surpassed catwoman (2003) level bad. and it crowning acheviement is winning every worst award in 2007 Michelle Rodriguez nominated with: not one, not two, but three worst awards: Most Annoying Fake Accent (Female) award, Worst Supporting Actress from 2007's Stinkers Bad Movie Awards and won Worst Supporting Actress for a second time from February 24, 2007 - Golden Raspberry Awards what a crowning achievement i hope ur proud and hang it up inside of a glass case in ur million dollar mansion for everybody too see how many terrible movies u been in over the years. ur only relevance now is bcuz of those awful fast and furious movie sequels until that run out of gas and whenever universal stop milking from that franchise corpse. Hollywood never seems to learn that not everything can be a live action movie adaption that's based on a video game, bcuz tey're still to this day trying to turn every game ip into a movie (that literally nobody asked for) until we no longer have any type of original ip from all formats and platforms of entertainment. that's no longer fresh, new and original, so hollywood can ruined that ip by turning it into what they want it to be just to make money and milk as much from it as they can.… Expand
