After defeating the evil vampire in "Bloodrayne", we are taken to the Old West in 1800s America. Now, Rayne must face off against Billy the Kid, a vampire cowboy, who has killed or captured many of her friends and taken a town hostage. With her blades and a new sidekick, she just might be able to do it.
A lot of people this this is a horrible movie. And they're probably right. It's got cheesy acting, poor scenery, amateur camera work. But the difference between this and the first one is clear: here, the idea was to have fun and they succeed. In the first one, the goal seemed to be making a wonderful movie, which just wasn't possible with Uwe Boll in charge. A bad movie isn't always bad when the people involved know they're making something bad and have fun doing it.
I had a bit of difficulty adjusting to Natassia Malthe as Rayne. I guess she's supposed to be one of Maxim's hottest girls or something, but the original Rayne was far sexier (and had a better outfit). Luckily, we had Boll regular Zack Ward for Billy the Kid, who was simply amazing. He put his heart and soul into the character and the accent every aspect. The character may be stupid (in what universe was BTK a vampire?) but Ward did the best to make him a good villain.
I really enjoyed the new characters of the preacher and that other guy (not sure what he was supposed to be). The preacher's sermon was a highlight of the film, surpassed only by the children in nooses scene. I really think that was clever and was impressed that something like that was thrown in.
The only really bad thing about this film, other than the low quality of everything, was the continuity. We had to adjust to a new lead actress. We never get it explained why Rayne is now in America, centuries in the future. Is this "real" time or an alternate dimension, because using a historical figure like Billy seemed a bad idea. But the biggest question of all is: where is Billy Zane? As I recall, he showed up in the first film for no particular reason and then vanished. So we still likely have a centuries-old vampire on the loose. Played by Billy Zane, I might add (this bears repeating).
Thank you Boll for getting rid of the bad accents and word choices. Thanks for getting rid of the blood that was excessive. Thanks for slowing the action scenes down -- not everything has to be in fast forward. And thank very much for getting rid of unnecessary flashbacks (I thought for sure we'd get at least one). For those who hated the first film (and this includes me), I strongly recommend giving the sequel a chance. If you have low expectations (which you must if you're picking up a straight-to-DVD Boll sequel), you will be sweetly rewarded. |

OK, the Story is pretty simple, the camera work is sometimes really bad and the whole thing looks absolutely B-Movie. But the movie is still much better than the first one and I really liked it.
So why is that: I have to say I loved the first bloodrayne game. I bought it without knowing anything about it, only because of the cover when I saw it in a store. As I started the game I was from the first moment on fascinated by the whole sort of trash, B-Movie Style feeling the game had when other new games tried to have better graphics and didn't care for new game play Idea's.
Has I started seeing this movie the sort of exactly the same feeling came onto me, so I have to say, Mr. Boll finally managed to capture the essence of the game. If this was intentional than he should have our respect instead of being bashed.
The cast of the movie is create, Natassia Malte plays a much more convincing Rayne than Kristiane Loken. She looks closer to the game character and also manages to show exactly the right expression and attitude at some points. Zack Ward as Billy is also create. He plays it so over the top maniac as one would imagine a hundred years old vampire.
So, I have to conclude if this movie would have been made by e.g. a MR. Tarantino everyone would like it for it's Style, but as know one seems to like Uwe Boll, the Movie only gets bad reviews.
I am looking forward for the third movie. |
