Absolutely Brilliant!
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Somewhere on the Eastern front, Nazis are transporting people to camps. A resistance groups shows up to kill Nazis. And so does Rayne, in the middle of the day. When she confronts the commander, she ends up turning him into a vampire. In the intro we learned that Rayne is the offspring of an evil male vampire and a human woman.A crazy Nazi doctor is experimenting on vampires and when he realizes what the commander has become he has ideas how to make powerful Nazis. Meanwhile the resistance which is headquartered in a whorehouse, keeps planning attacks and how to break Nazi codes. And the Nazis start looking for Rayne. Eventually they capture her and the leaders of the resistance. The doctor sees the potential of her blood to make Hitler indestructible. The remaining resistance will try to stop the Nazis as they make their way to Berlin.Bloodrayne III had potential. They have strong actors in the lovely Natassia Malthe, Michael Pare, Brendan Fletcher, Clint Howard. They had some interesting landscapes in Croatia, realistic uniforms and equipment. The movie does look very good. And the story itself should have worked- Rayne, Nazis, vampires, powerful blood, creepy experiments, etc. But unfortunately it doesn't work. For some reason the put some awful pasty pale makeup on Natassia's face, gave her a lousy haircut and had her wear a silly aviator cap. As a result she looks nowhere as gorgeous as she really is, and they didn't allow her to smile. But we do get a bit of nudity even though you can tell Boll is very uncomfortable filming those scenes. The action scenes are decent but not as good as it should be. There should be some sort of climax to the movie but there really isn't. Editing is a bit messy. One would think they simply didn't have enough budget to make things work, note how short this movie is at about 1:10. Perhaps Boll's method to direct scenes with little preparation doesn't pay off in the end.
Joining up with allies in WWII Germany, the half-human/half-vampire finds that one of her victims was a Nazi officer now bestowed with her powers and intends to use them in a plot to make Hitler immortal.An incredibly enjoyable and entertaining entry to an already fun and entertaining series, though this one doesn't reach the heights of the original. Still, this contains enough bloodshed, gore-drenched slaughters, limb-ripping and throat-slicing to give it a try, as there's a ton of blood in this including the other tortures inflicted on the vampires which adds more bloodshed. That's due to a high number of action scenes here as the confrontations with the different groups lead to a number of ambushes, firefights and martial arts displays that make for a pretty enjoyable time. As well, the increased amount of nudity certainly helps this one along, and altogether with a fast pace and enjoyable, simple story it gets a lot of good grace, only with the nagging problem of it's way too short running time to count as any sort of real flaw here. This is quite a bit of fun overall.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and several intense lesbian sex scenes.
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.
If you are expecting a good and serious vampire movie then please don't even think about starting here. The movie was quite horrendous... stupid and poorly done. But I will admit I found it quite funny even though everyone involved was trying to be quite serious. Really found the lesbian sex scene out of place... and really in the initial scene for that all I could think was that Rayne's actress had some really odd nipples, because you can't honestly take that scene serious at all.Hated how the movie would snap between scenes with no transitions and would jump important details. This was really poorly done and I wasn't really expecting much, especially after the disaster of bloodrayne 2 but this was just insanely stupid. I'm glad I could find this movie funny otherwise it would have just been a complete waste of time.... not that the production of this movie isn't already a complete waste of time.
