BloodRayne: The Third Reich

Oh my god! What went wrong here? The first "Bloodrayne" movie was actually quite good. Then part 2 came out, and it was a notch down the ladder. Now this "Bloodrayne: The Third Reich" is out, and it is about to hit rock bottom! The story in the movie is actually good enough, most parts of it anyway. There were certain aspects of the movie that was just too corny and too unnecessary.

Alright, well lets delve into the acting. For most parts the acting was good enough, but then in the opposite end there was so really horrendous acting as well. Clint Howard (playing doctor Mangler), words doesn't even begin to describe his performance. It was like watching a leech trying to scale a wall, it was dull and uninspiring. The lead role of Rayne, was played by Natassia Malthe. Her acting was adequate, but come on, we all know why she was hired for this. She is hot and kicks ass, and that pretty much sums it up.

Set in the period of the 1940's, during World War II, you are wondering why the Germans in the movie are all speaking English. I hate that in movies, get into character and have the Germans speak German. It just works on a grander scale. Having them speak semi-broken English with a flatulent accent, not so much. That really brought the movie down a notch for me.

Something else that brought down the movie, was Rayne's costume. Now, sure it was stunningly hot and sexy. But this is the 1940's, no one wore that kind of outfit back then, vampire or human! That was just over the top, and it really brought the movie down. It was out of place and time! Don't just have a costume in a movie because it looks hot, it is just too lame! As for the German's costume, well hats off for that, lots of nice touches and details there. So that worked well enough.

Another thing that shouldn't have made it to the movie was the lesbian love scene. Come on! Most people don't want to watch that! It was too much! And again, this was the 1940's, I am pretty sure people weren't open-minded as people are today. Again, it just seemed out of place and almost turned the movie into a soft-core porn. That was just too much!

One thing that did work for the movie, however, was the sets and the details put into the sets. It was like I would believe the 40's Germany would be like, and the emotional state that the country had would be like.

For a movie in the Bloodrayne legacy, Uwe Boll managed to take that whole concept and totally screw it up. The end result of this movie was bad! I didn't even make it to the end. I gave up about two-thirds into the movie. I was fed up with its tacky nonsense. And I had looked forward to this, liking the first part, so I thought it had to be better than part 2, but no, I was disappointed.

Uwe Boll have some good movies to his name, and also some bad movies; "Bloodrayne: The Third Reich" adds to the list of bad movies! If you like watching a woman in hot (totally out of the time period) costume and with way too much cleavage going on, then this movie might be something for you though.

Well, first of all, i struggled to watch this movie. i really wanted to watch it till the end, cause i loved the video game, so i tough, hey cant be that bad, at least i ll see a sexy chick in latex.

NOPE.

1. no sexy chick in latex as expected.

Instead of Bloodrayne, a hot SENSUAL SEDUCTIVE female, we got from the casting crew a HYSTERICAL whining girl, she just can't pull it off, her voice is irritating, has nothing sensual or seductive, like vampires should have, instead it s dominated by the rebel 19 year boy looking like dude.

2. costumes.

SHe is dressed like my grandmother. with an ugly , really ugly trench coat, with some weird Russian headgear and the Nazis soldiers look like poor mens version of a real soldier.

3. all other actors.

perform sub mediocre.

4. fighting scenes are awful. nothing more to say. she moves like a pregnant woman in disarray.

As a conclusion is a bad movie, has no story, the main actress talks and walks like a spoil led little brat,with an irritating voice, has nothing suave in her movements and nothing seductive about it.

sub mediocre movie, i in fact tried to find a rating lesser then 1 on IMDb, cause it s not worth the 1point.

i could V done a greater job, and i don t believe there is a worse actress then this one , at least for this role.

great work

How bad? Bad enough that FF was not fast enough. A waste of time even at that speed. Usual right off the bat indicators of cheap. No subtitles; audio levels all over the place; camera angles that made no sense; a script that had lines limited to 7 words so that the editors could edit the next monologue due to a lack of memory capacity in people paid to perform (I've seen dogs in animal movies handle their scripts with more skill); same people reading lines as if they were reading directly off of a script page.

Uniquely bad to this movie was gunfire that sounded like cheap firecrackers; actors falling just like children keel over with tongues hanging out when they pretend to be shot or jump in the air sideways from an explosion even though it's a block away and even though their clothing or paper on the ground next to them were not affected. The worst martial arts style movements ever seen in a movie consisting of 15 minutes of rehearsal practice on spinning and yelling like a tennis player with each spin.

The only part of the movie that seemed natural were the 30 second historical short films of WWII Germany.

After buying the film and watching it I cant help thinking that I wasted my money unfortunately. Overall the film had a good script and so much potential but was sorely let down by the director and wardrobe. The actors were good so it is not their fault that the film seems like it was shot in space as it lacks atmosphere.

This is set during the 2nd world war so you would think that a vampire wearing a modern,tailor cut leather trenchcoat sporting tribal graphics coupled with undergarments from Ann Summers, would be a little out of keeping with the clothes of that era. Did i mention the red streaks through the hair? The other costumes are passable but the wardrobe department were definitely not up to the task overall.

The camera angles are very one dimensional and you get the feeling that the directors imagination was on holiday when working on this film. It feels like the film is shot from a distance and their is no interaction between the characters, giving them a chance to express themselves fully. There is also a severe lack of musical accompanyment to any of the scenes so you get no sense of build up or excitement which makes it very flat.

It is a real shame as this could have been up there with the greats of vampire films but they should have given the job of director to someone else...anyone else.

That very thought was going through my head when I rented this cinematic excrement. Nazis are my favourite bad guys and this seemed like a promising take on a good formula. In short, the story was vapid and the acting was awful. They threw in some sex to titillate, but all it did was make me angry. The mad doctor is over the top yet not in a good way and he was stupid to boot. The lead Nazi was an acceptable villain, but only because his acting was not painful and he was a Nazi. The heroine seemed rather one dimensional and devoid of life (which I think was the "actress'" fault rather than the writers' or even intentional). The heroine, by the way, never actually wears those painted on "pants". Ever. Sorry. This movie is neither bad enough to be good nor is it passable as late night brain dead viewing. I should have known to save my $1.02 when I saw the cover. What can I say: I have a weakness for dead Nazis and shapely hips.
