    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. Forget Rayne, and forget vampires.

    All of the low ratings are very suspicious. I am flabbergasted and appalled that viewers standards and comprehension of brilliance have fallen to such low thresholds. This film puts even the classics like Maltese Falcon and Mr Smith Goes to Washington to shame. The cinematography, direction, acting, effects and philosophical meaning best every performance ever, from Humphrey Bogart to Christian Bale. After you see this movie, kill yourself, because you've already achieved the pinnacle of your life. From here on out, all that remains is a slippery precipice of failure. Expand

    This movie didn't really fulfill what was needed to fulfill and do the game justice. Of course, the movie basically put me to sleep on most parts. Sure, some scenes were OK and other scenes where there was actually some action into it, it was good, yeah, but it wasn't "great."

    Well what can I say about this film. The effects were excellent and the gory fights were very fun to watch as well. Also alot of the acting was very good as well. On top of this was a good plot which makes this an A+ grade film!

    Quite possibly the greatest cinematic achivement ever. If God were given instructions on how to screenwrite and film, even he wouldnt be able to live up to the standards set by the master that is Uwe Boll. This is something we dream of. The kind of film that comes by once in a lifetime. The kind of movie that moves you, makes you want to live. Something of art. Make your children see this film.

    Terrible. Incoherent. A waste of good talent. But, ah, heck, at least it's not as bad as its sequel (who on earth besides Uwe Boll thought THAT was a good idea)?

    Man, this movie is just horrible. All these high ratings are pretty suspicious, I wouldn't be surprised if someone were boosting up the score, because there is no way that so many people could enjoy such an utter waste of film.

    Is there anything less than zero? No plot, no acting performances -- shame Ben Kingsley and you too Michael Madsen -- to speak of, no coherent editing. This isn't the worst film of the year, it's the worst of a lifetime. Somebody, please, stop Uwe Boll before he films again.

    Agreed, worst movie I've ever seen. A long time ago I swore an allegance to Ben Kingsley. Sexy Beast, House of Sand and Fog... great performances. Heck I even enjoyed Suspect Zero where nobody else seemed to. But this is pure rubbish. I give it A for casting and special effects, straight F's on acting, editing, music and any other categories. Kingsley still shines bright but there is no support. How Michael Madsen could have said his lines with such vapidity is BEYOND comprehension. Expand

    Uwe boll is the absolute worst director out there. bloodrayne proves that house of the dead and alone in the dark were not flukes. however, i do like to read interviews with him where he tries to explain why the critics hate him and can't handle his films.

    The first great vampire masterpiece. With stunning performances by an allstar cast. The blood rains in Blood Rayne, but that's not the only thing. The fun is raining too. an unparalleled visually kaleidoscopic experience.

    The only reason this gets a 1 is Kristana Loken's bare breasts and the way they got worked over by what's-his-name. A-Mazing. The people saying "good action" and "good sword fights" probably wouldn't see any difference between Plan 9 From Outer Space and Forbidden Planet. 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

    Basically this movie is a mess from every perspective: editing, story, acting and directing. Ben Kingsley’s bad performance alone is enough to make anyone who likes good acting cringe their teeth.

    One of the best film I have ever seen, excellent chromotography and acting. Although the plot was a bit thin it was made up by the gory action. A+

    This quasi-vampire train wreck sucked out all of the goodwill and patience in me. This is, hands down, the worst motion picture I laid my unfortunate eyes on. I haven't seen Alone in the Dark . . . and I am afraid to. We finally found someone who is a worse director than Ed Wood.

    If you like fantasy-horror movies, this is a great one! I don't understand the bad reviews at all! It's very engaging and holds your attention - yeah, some of the editing and dialogue are choppy - but for an intriguing story with atmosphere, it's good. You'll enjoy it!! Doesn't deserve all the panning it got - they just don't understand the genre. (I will admit I laughed out loud at Meat Loaf's scene (bad casting/bad acting) but that can be overlooked. Will probably have a large fan base as time goes on! Expand

    This is without a doubt, one of the worst movies ever; though it competes mightily with Alone in the Dark. Bottom Line unless you are a hormonal male teen with repressed sexual or violent tendencies or a very lonely 30+ year old virgin, there are no redeeming qualities to this film, which makes it an amazing achievement in badness. Many films might have bad acting or bad directing, but only one has accomplished the complete awfulness that is BloodRayne. Bad Acting, Bad Directing, Bad Script, Bad Special Effects ... the badness just doesn't quit. When Uwe Boll reads this he can use my comments above on the marketing piece as: "... doesn’t quit." -Roger Expand

    Once upon a time Ben Kingsley was an esteemed actor. He was riveting in the incredibly good movies Schndler's List and House of Sand and Fog. But alas Kingsley's career steadily going down. Since House of Sand and Fog he has done two average movies (Thunderbirds and Suspect Zero), but now his career has hit a new low. One week into 2006 and we most likely have the worst movie of the year. Uwe Bowl is simply put a terrible director that should never make a movie agian. Expand

    What a film. Sat riveted from start to wonderful finish. The directors vision, masterfully brought to life by a cast of wonderful actors. Ben Kingsley's best role ever. Better than Ghandi and Sexy Beast and Turtle Diaries and Species. He may be little and bald, but he is also frank and bald and if you're frank and bald (even if you are also little) than you are probably a brilliant actor. Expand

    Utter trash. And this comes from a dude who played the videogame and enjoyed it. Save your money and buy the videogame, it'll be infinitely more better than this load of crap. What I dread most is the thought of Uwe Boll possibly getting his hands on Civilization IV, Warcraft or Worms and adapting them to screen.

    It actually hurt to watch this movie. Soon after its release there was an actual petition to get the director to stop making movies. It passed but he is still going to make them.

    They must have convened a Council of Morons to write the script for this movie. And then they selected the actors from a League of Idiots. Once the Team of Fools put the whole thing together, they had a "movie." And the human race is the worse for it.

    Uwe boll, the director, is a total crackpot, this is his third film based on a video game, he has slapped my culture and industry in the face for a third time. He is a very, very bad director. On the upside, he never really got the rights to make a movie out of a good game.

    I'm going too have to give this a two. Its horrid. This movie is th reason Boll has earned himself the nickname "the blitzkrieg of bad". Its awfulness is actually a miracle, due to the talent he has on board. Ben Kingsly, Micheal madson, hell, even meatloaf all put on terrible performances, despite thier obvious talents. Billy Zane's character seems pointless, and you'll wonder why hes even in the movie. However, if you want something thats so bad its good, download the hell out of this. Just dont buy it. Lord knows we dont want to fund another Boll movie. Expand

    Bloodrayne is tied with House of the Dead for worst movie of all time. I was physically angry at this film. Had less depth in story than a porno. This film will be declared as a catastrophic event. Uwe Boll does not deserve life as well as his fans. I envy the people in the holocaust because they would not have to suffer through this crap. This is another reason why Uwe Boll should not make another film again. Expand

    The best way to watch this movie is to be doing something else while watching, because odds are you'll have more fun doing whatever else you can think of than watching this sack of homogenized **** In fact, just do anything else. Please. I don't know what else to say other than "why, Ben Kingsley, why?"

    For some reason, I don't care about those crappy video game movies that Uwe Boil directs. I only just want a reboot of the franchise, but not the game series. I love BloodRayne, a great phenomenal and fun game. However, I agree with the critics reaction and that's why there's poor acting, useless action, and wasteless material that makes BloodRayne one of the worst mediocre video game movies of all time.

    This movie is no good at all. 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. Bloodrayne is a forgettable movie that is best forgotten. Expand

    Wait, what??? Uwe Boll is the most deservedly lambasted, god-awful director since Ed Wood and "Bloodrayne" is only surpassed by "Alone in the Dark" in it's trogloditic badness... and it gets a Metacritic user score of 8.0??? Please tell me there's a whole mess of comedians out there, like review writer ChipG... PLEASE!

    There are all sorts of noteworthy people in this silly vampire epic, including acting greats Sir Ben Kingsley and Geraldine Chaplin, but the only artist this critic wants to heap praise upon is the regrettably unidentified Supervisor of Blood Splatter: Nice work, dude.
  2. The only thing left unsliced is the ham in BloodRayne, yet another video game adaptation by German genre specialist Uwe Boll and a movie with more fading - or faded - talent than an Italian basketball team.
  3. Maybe everyone involved was hoping that no one would see this movie, but Madsen is the only one who should fear anyone seeing his work.
