BLOODRAYNE: THE THIRD REICH (2010)

Back in 2005 studios started to once again look at casting powerful killer female leads as the LAURA CROFT trial run at the movies saw some decent success as late as 2003. In comes AEON FLUX (2005), ELEKTRA (2005) and D.O.A. (2006) and UTRAVIOLET (2006). Bringing in Ben Kingsley, Michelle Rodriguez, Billy Zane and even freakin Meat Loaf you kinda thought that a Kristanna Loken (yeah the female Terminator in Teminator 3) that you had a recipe for success right? No, no you didn’t. You made the huge epic mistake of bringing on director Uwe Boll (who actually used real prostitutes during a scene in the movie because they were cheaper to hire than actresses) and the rest is the stuff of cinematic disaster.

 Now we come to 2010 and the 3^rd installment with BLOODRAYNE THE THIRD REICH and Uwe still at the helm. Rayne (a half vampire half human fighting her vampire side) is taking on some Nazi’s who also now suddenly have vampire in their blood too. Unfortunately what could have been one of the better stories out there we have yet another complete joke of a movie on our hands. I can’t say enough about how poorly executed this movie is and how much of a downgrade it was from the first 2 installments where Uwe at least appeared to be trying for some sort of storyline (even though both had plot holes you could drive a truck through).

Anything worth watching? – well for some Kristanna’s replacement after the first movie Natassia Malthe might make this watchable because there is a LOT of her in this. Outside of that there is almost nothing worth your time in this one. For those of you who don’t know who she is, she is the chick that almost kisses ELEKTRA to death in ELEKTRA and she is also in D.O.A. and a bunch of other stuff. Even fans of these types of movies won’t be able to contain the crap-tastic-ness within…

Odd – Uwe Boll is well known for his absolute destruction of movies based on games and is considered by many the absolute worst director ever. Boll also produced on a movie in 2011 called BLUBBERELLA which is a spoof of BLOODRAYNE, and actually made a movie called RAGING BOLL where he literally fought his worst critics (like a fight fight).

I give this movie a 2 out of 7. Rating Definition : 2 out of 7 – EHH, this movie was not good and you know it. You kind of wish you hadn’t paid to see it or allowed that chick in the deli to talk you into taking her. Once the bad taste in your mouth is washed out, you won’t think this is the worst movie ever, but you will think it was close.
