Thank you for your support, patience and understanding with these reuploads. Thank you. Pathfinder will be here within the next week.
32:01 - To be fair, there's not a movie Michael Madsen will say "no" to. The sad fact is, he's been in dozens of movies even worse than this.
I genuinely hadn't even considered that when I put that in. I know Christopher Lloyd has a similar policy but I feel like he just goes into every performance with such passion that it never reflected in his career. Lloyd never does anything by halves but Madsen just comes off as phoning it in, at least for Bloodrayne.
Also let me add thank you! For watching and commenting, especially this because it's something I wish I'd taken into account. So thank you!
It's good that you had the strength to get yourself to review this abomination and desecration of a very cool and beloved character and her story. No, to watch it AND then review it. I couldn't have done it 🤣. There are so many things that are so painfully wrong with this movie. A movie that utterly torn apart one of the coolest and beloved video games characters and her story. Starting with her living in medieval times when in the game she was born in 1915 and continuing with her being weak enough to be handled by regular humans (should we assume they took that from BloodRayne 2? LOL) and with giving her the most horrible "British" accent (however that's still nothing compared with Michelle Rodriguez's fake British accent lol) and STILL continuing with making Ben Kingsley Kagan, and then if you thought they couldn't go any further they kept going with the most atrocious "fight scenes" you could ever see... But in all this mayhem and torture there was one element that was good, one that I would have never thought of if I had ever made a movie about her. That is making her regenerate her wounds as she was drinking blood. That was actually a good idea to put in the movie. However everything else about it was so atrocious that Uwe Boll should go to prison for it... 😂😂
You know what you're absolutely right, I should of drawn more attention to the regeneration because that was a really nice touch. Good shout out. And yeah everything else was awful haha. The accents, the change in personality, and I didn't even know Rayne was born in 1915 so it's like they didn't even care. They did less character background reading than me. Nice Bloodrayne 2 dig ROFL. I feel they could have gone two routes with Kagan, either true to the video game or full-on classic stereotypical vampire. They did neither, just an honest waste of time.
If Uwe didn't go to prison over this movie Rayne certainly did, the only people I've seen thrown into prison cells more often are stargate sg-1. And Rayne only escaped one of them, she had to be let out of the others. Awful film.
But! Thank you! For watching my Bloodrayne videos and leaving kind words here as well. I say it a lot, but I really appreciate it, so thank you! I will get around to BR2 eventually, it's sitting waiting :D
@@reallylatereviews Great! I'm really looking forward to your BloodRayne 2 review. That is the game that I like to describe as the sequel that utterly failed to be the improvement over the first one that it should've been. It does have a major improvement though over the first one, the checkpoints, which means you're not going to be thrown all the way back to the beginning of the level no matter how much you progressed through the level. The graphics are another improvement but that was just natural. Overall though it miserably failed to be the improvement that it should have been.
It’s crazy to know this film was supposed to be very different in the first script.
I wonder what made them do a 17/ early 1800 period piece instead of setting it in 1903 like the game. Seems like a huge leap!
Ya know I really have no idea. Part of me wonders if at the time it was cheaper to shoot on location in that castle, rather than more modern environments. They would have had to make sets or get permission to film in bunkers etc... Probably easier to stick it in a castle haha, but also a letdown.
I wanna say thank you as well for watching my video! And taking the time to comment, I do appreciate it, so thank you!
@@reallylatereviews I mean the 3rd or 4th film was close to the game, so cheap budget wasn’t the problem! 😂 I think Uwa just didn’t know the story and was more inspired by the idea of a red headed vampire with daddy issues rather than everything that makes her actually interesting, iconic and a bad ass! 💋
No problem! Love your videos BTW! 🤠
Rofl, that's probably it honestly. Relying on the backstory to replace character traits sounds about right.
And ayyy thank you!
@@reallylatereviews no problem! ❤️
The sad thing is this movie pretty much brought Rayne who was at the top of the gaming world at the time to the bottom of the heap. It pretty much was the end of a gaming icon.
Maaaan it felt this way it really did. I felt Bloodrayne 2 was more a miss than a hit but easily something that could be fixed. But add to that the awful movies that piled on. It was like they took the absolute golden rocket of gaming and just turned it to head straight back down to earth. In the UK It felt like Rayne was the biggest hit since Lara Croft. Talk about a u turn.
Thank you as well for watching my video and sharing this pain, wish Rayne was coming back. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment as well, so thank you!
@@reallylatereviews Well BloodRayne 2 sales wise was a hit. I not talking gameplay wise ete, just sales, it did about as good as the first.
@@greek1237 True it sold well, and it tried to be inventive and evolve even if it wasn't always ideal. I'd hoped these things would be enough to keep the franchise alive and like you said, probably woulda been if not for the Majesco movie nose dive. Sad days honestly
I'll never forgive uweball for this
I'm with you on this. I think weirdly enough I got some new found respect for the guy while making this video but also... wtf was he doing? How did he get this IP? Who okayed him to direct the Bloodrayne movie it's insanity and ruined a chance at good Rayne film ever coming out.
Thank you! For watching and commenting, I really do appreciate it! So thank you and I'll never forgive him either.
A man of taste
Ayyy I don't think I deserve the compliment but I'll take it haha! Thank you! (And thanks for watching as well!)
Holy shit let's go, I didn't even know this movie existed
ROFL this video wasn't meant to be live yet oh well! Ayyy Subway hope you like it haha!
@@reallylatereviews lucky me!
Although 7 mins in I can see why I've never heard of this movie haha.
@@subwaytovenus3237 Haha! yeah it's pretty horrendous. Thank you as well for watching even if this is out early haha! (and commenting of course :D )
@@reallylatereviews I've watched the whole review twice now, I really enjoyed this long form movie review style.
Something really fun about trying to be objective to horrible movies but you keep getting slightly tilted because it's so average of a film.
I Especially enjoyed it when you started throwing in behind the scenes and forming a complete picture on the process of the film too.
@@subwaytovenus3237 Holy smokes just thank you. I have a hard time imagining anyone wanting to watch this more than once haha! So thank you! I wanted to go behind the scenes a little bit because as bad as Uwe Boll's image/movies may be, he sounds both fun and awful to work with depending on who you ask.
And it is a lot of fun haha! I really enjoy bad movies where it's clear the whole crew were putting in effort. It's when a film has real charm and goes beyond what should be a really awful film. A lot of the earlier Asylum/Syfy movies accomplished that. I don't know if I'd recommend Bloodrayne but it's an experience.
I feel sorry for you going trough watching this film . I saw the trailers and stuff but it didn't grab me at all and i didn't bother watching it. It looked super budget but hearing that this costed 25 mil holy moly . Also i like how you put Rayne in the background watching and in the middle of the video Rayne turning around and showing middle finger 🤣 . Also what are thooose : 32:31 . I belive the movie kinda killed the momentum that the games had and ultimately killed the franchise .
Haha I hear you, nobody would think this cost that much after seeing the trailers. I think you're right, add to that Bloodrayne 2 never felt like it took off as much as the original, the momentum just died so fast.
I put Rayne in the background to help with copyright strikes, but they ended up blocking my video in South America anyway haha! I was mostly concerned about getting the video taken down as I don't monetise. So I had a bit of fun with it I figured :D
I want to say thank you for coming back to watch my other video, and for taking the time to comment! It means a lot to me, so thank you!
@@reallylatereviews 👍
Bolls movies are just so aggressively shit. Dungeon Siege, this, postal, alone in the dark, the Auschwitz movie he shat out, ugh. I wonder if he still challenges detractors to a boxing match.
Aw I've only seen Alone in the Dark, I had no idea he'd made an Auschwitz movie holy shit what must that be like.
He has actually returned to filmmaking just this year so who knows, maybe he'll challenge me in the ring!
Thank you as well for commenting and watching! I appreciate it!
If you enjoyed Sir Ben "I've got bills to pay" Kingsleys performance here, I can heartily recommend A Sound Of Thunder starring Sir Ben "where the hell did everything go so wrong that I ended up on this of all sets" Kingsley. Never have I seen such a deep despair as that of him trying to act in that abomination of a movie.
That trailer looks awful. I love it. I will be sure to check it out when I have time rofl, thank you! The hair they went with for that what happened.
I'm also gonna say thank you not just for the recommendation, but also for watching my video and taking the time to comment! I really appreciate it, thank you!
I actually watched movie way back when I was a kid, even kinda liked it (well, moderately). And then I watched Deliverance.
Honestly, first movie is a masterpiece in comparison. I don't remember anything substantial about second installment apart from persistent feeling of watching the wrong movie.
Like there is character named Rayne but no matter how much I squint I can't see anything BloodRayne-related at all, even surface level aesthetics are gone.
Oh this sounds fantastic honestly. If it's even worse I will have to watch it haha, I do have the DVD as they came as a bundle so maybe. Based on the first one, if they take her look away at this point there's just nothing to stamp these as Rayne movies haha!
I think it's easy to like Bloodrayne (I like bad movies/schlock etc...) but I think the reason I don't is it could be nearly half an hour shorter. But it's got nice moments and good practical stunts.
I just want to add quickly thank you for watching and commenting, and sharing the Deliverance memories! I appreciate it!
@@reallylatereviews I don't like first movie anymore tbh, but I don't really hate it either. It's just exist and happens to be not very good.
I think in the past my child brain was blown away by the fact that movie managed to exist at all. Back then I always wanted all of my favorite games to be made in the movie or a show and completely disregarded all the difficulties of videogames adaptations.
But Deliverance just put first movie in the PERSPECTIVE. Like how dull and unrelated Bloodrayne movie actually can be. Honestly, I kinda hope it was some kind of tax fraud or something and not a passion project ఠヮఠ
As far as I know third movie actually has nazis and guns, but I was not tempted. First movie looked kinda earnest and third looks mad goofy even on the screenshots.
Honestly, sometimes I kinda feel sad that Uwe is not very good at what he does. What a legend he would be if he could pull off all this videogames adaptations. I hope in some alternative universe people have their bombastic BloodRayne movies franchise and not just... memes.
English is not my first language, but I hope all above was coherent enough.
Thanks for the great content! ♡ *:･ﾟ✧ ค₍⸍⸌̣ʷ̣̫⸍̣⸌₎ค
@@secretsecret6381 Oh me too, I remember being ridiculously excited to see Tomb Raider, and disappointed when I saw it haha. Not exceptionally bad, just a TV movie with a big budget. But it sounds like Deliverance is on a whole other level so I can't wait honestly, and the idea of Uwe Boll being confronted by an alternate Uwe who pulls off masterful movies would be a more entertaining film than any of these. As for the third film, I only know they filmed a spoof version at the same time, on the same sets. So it can only be even worse.
There is no way I would have known English wasn't your first language because you use it perfectly. Thank YOU for your time, your kind words and sharing your experience with the movies, this is a big part of why I make these videos! :D
@@reallylatereviews Hehe, I wasn't disappointed with Tomb Raider back then x) Never rewatched it tho (just in case lol). From my memories, at least Jolie was a pretty good casting choice for Lara (both in terms of looks and portrayed attitude) •̀ ヮ •́
Oh definitely! She was perfect as that era of Lara, honestly I even liked the supporting cast in both of those movies. I just felt the tone was off - a bit too action orientated, less adventure orientated. No dinosaurs also :D
First off, loved the review. Fantastic take.
What’s there to say about this movie that isn’t painfully obvious? It’s a complete shit show and utter disappointment. I went to the theater when this film came out. I played BloodRayne 2 and saw the teaser trailer in it. I was excited if a little confused cuz it looked a bit different from what the game actually was but I was naive. After the movie was over, I was left wondering how it could have been fucked up as much as it was. Not just once, but three times in a row. Not even having the third movie be almost within the same time period as the first game could save it.
Boll’s portrayal of Rayne is so passive and utterly devoid of defining character traits it’s gut wrenching. I can agree that her moment with the kid was an ok part because I think Rayne herself wouldn’t treat children badly. But other than that; she’s either caged, captured, laying down or trying so hard to seem cool but failing. Her outfit looks like a cheap Halloween costume. There was a promotional trailer where Kristina Loken was dressed up in a much better costume and looked more like Rayne but they didn’t use it. The blades, both sets she gets are so dumb and fake looking, though I could forgive the ones she got from her friend a little bit. But Jesus, the second set weren’t even attached to her arms and didn’t pivot. More than half the cast didn’t give two shits about being there and just did it for the quick money.
Also, something i didn’t realize back then, this movie doesn’t take place in the medieval period. For a long time I thought that too. But it actually takes place in 18th century Romania.
And another thing that is really annoying. You don’t just become a vampire by being solely bitten. That’s a werewolf thing. To become a turned vampire, you have to get bitten and swap blood with your vampire master, that’s it. Rayne couldn’t even turn anyone anyways, her human half prevents that (I’m looking at YOU 3rd movie). So way to go Brimstone, you killed those people and desecrated those corpses at the carnival for nothing.
I didn't even get the time period holy shit. I would never have guessed that since there aren't any flintlocks or firearms - my knowledge of such things is flimsy but they really went out of their way to make it feel medieval.
Oh the character of Rayne gets slaughtered it's true! And the vampire siring in this made no sense at all, you'd be tripping over them if all it took was one bite. I think we can all agree that the Brimstone society was utterly useless and confused in the film so just killing a load of innocent people makes sense. Glad the 3rd movie kept up the stupid though!
I actually left in my comment about the second set of blades because at the time I really thought they were attached to her arms. The fights were shot so poorly that most of their elbows get cut out and I was so disinterested in all of that I think I imagined it, so I left it in haha! Just awful.
Lastly I want to say thank you for watching my video, for leaving kind words and also sharing your own experiences with this movie. It also sounds like you suffered through the whole trilogy already for which I am deeply sorry! But thank you, I really appreciate it!
Well that was a movie I suppose………
It’s really shocking just how bad most video game movie adaptations are. I truly don’t understand how hard it is to either play or watch someone play a game. Then incorporate that into a movie especially an action game into an action movie. Like you said no quips or personality you could’ve just had over the top action and one liners and it would’ve been day and night difference. Sheesh what a mess and I appreciate the little dive into the background of the movie near the end with the screen tighter. That just says it all when you swipe the first draft and then wing in just wow. They should’ve added some Cochise to the fight scenes as background music would’ve elevated it 😂
Anyways mate great video as always and keep up the great work :D
Haha I'd have taken some Cochise music to bump this movie up happily. Yeah they just, I've never seen something underplayed so hard. I wouldn't even call it trying to be edgy, and it's hard to say there is a Vulcan-like quality to the movie because even a Vulcan would emote more. It's rare to watch a movie and miss one liners. Truly a weird film. And like you say there are some great games that could easily work as adaptations, especially action movies. But it felt like this period of time where they picked all the worst possible games to adapt into actual stories. Without giving them actual stories.
And yeah the script just being rewritten as it's going on. Who'd have thought that years before The Hobbit had storyboards drawn up hours before shooting that Uwe Boll did it first.
Thanks Looney I appreciate it dude, and ayy I'm gonna try haha! :D
Nice!
Ayy thank you! Glad to see you back Daba and I hope the movie video was enjoyable! Definitely gonna try my hand at another sometime. And thank you again for commenting and of course watching!
@@reallylatereviews You have spared me the anguish I might have felt if I stumbled upon it and started watching!
@@dabakrada5077 I'm happy to suffer for others!
You see the new dragons dogma trailer
Ayyy The Legend 27! I did see it holy smokes, I'm hopeful! They showed a lot of familiar stuff and I dig it, but I hope there's a lot more fresh and new ideas/stories to show off. They've got a real opportunity to make a fantastic game that's more than a sequel, an improvement!
do the sequels
DrKrap! I'll seriously consider it haha, maybe after the Bloodrayne 2 review next decade.
Thank you as well, it's a big deal to hear more videos are wanted so I will keep at it. Thank you!
@@reallylatereviews you need to make a lot more videos, this is one of the best channels, unironically
not even joking
Holy smokes I dunno what to say haha! Except thank you again for your kind words and for coming back. I think the best thing I can say in thanks though is I haven't forgotten what you said about runtime. My next video is a bit lengthy but after that I'd like to return to shorter form videos. I'm gonna try to keep making videos that deserve people's time as well!
Regarding Rayne fighting the Nazis she does that in the third movie of Uwe Boll's trilogy. However I do not, I repeat DO NOT recommend watching that. Kristanna Loken is replaced by another actress and Rayne's personality from the game is f.cked up even worse. Yes, worse is always possible with Uwe Boll's films :)) And for some reason in the two sequels Rayne is able to walk in daylight... Still don't know what the hell that was about... If you thought this one was bad (it was) then you will definitely suffer a stroke trying to watch the other two :)). But she does fight the Nazis in the third movie of the trilogy.
Haha I've also heard Clint Howard is in it but how they got him I have no idea! It sounds horrendous just in general though, especially the lack of any thought to walking in the daylight - insanity!
I think you're right as well about BR2 - I'd forgotten the checkpoint system which I've never really been a fan of.
@@reallylatereviews Yep, Clint Howard is in it. He plays the role of a sadistic Nazi doctor, a Mengele type :))
Yep, both in the second and third installment Rayne somehow can walk in daylight. Granted, not under the sun but in a very cloudy daylight with no sun at all. Maybe she is far less sensitive to sunlight being half vampire although I never got this detail from the games, I always knew sunlight hurts and eventually even kills her.
Interesting fact that you're not a fan of the checkpoint system. Why not? Is there a better way of not throwing you all the way back to the beginning of the level if you die?
@@JDA2185 I think I miss manual saving, or at least the option to save when I want to ya know? I think autosaving checkpoints and manual saves together are just the best combo. It depends on the game but I think to take away saveslots after having them in the first game was a mistake.
Yeah even in BR2 they maintained that sunlight was bad for her health haha. It's probably just extremely lazy filmmaking!
@@reallylatereviews Yes, I agree that manual saving and and checkpoints combination is better. But having just checkpoints is better than not having anything. They do help you when you play so that you don't have to start the level from the beginning no matter how much you progress through a level.
As for the BloodRayne movies, pretty much everything about them was lazy movie making. The purpose behind them was mainly to dodge taxes not make good movies...
The movie was a piece of garbage and the worst movie of the 2000s it’s as bad as battlefield earth and disaster movie 2008
Haha! You're not wrong, it's awful. From what I've seen of Battlefield Earth I believe you holy moly, terrible film
Thank you as well for watching! And taking the time to comment, I appreciate it! Thank you!
