Dread Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I know it's cool to like him now because he's some kind of morbidly amusing cult figure, but, seriously. I like him because he makes movies that are successful outside of the HJollywood Studio machine and he does it with people who are very much part of that machine. So, it's all about fighting the power and has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of his movies. His movies are better than Michael Bay's.

JackFetch Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 This movie has some of the worst music I have ever heard in a movie. At times it sounds like carnival music for some reason. It's also highly inappropriate in some scenes. Two guys are burying a little kid, but the music starts to pick up and go faster. So the guys start shoveling dirt into the grave faster. Soon it looks like they are racing each other to be the first to bury the kid while the music is going faster and faster and louder and louder. What the fuck? It's supposed to be a sad scene, and I was falling out of my chair laughing at how stupid it was. It has some of the best actors in Hollywood in it, but none of them gave enough shits to bother to actually act in the movie. Liotta looks completely out of place. Ron Perlman should have worn some type of makeup effects to hide his face, because I would have been ashamed of that performance. John Rhys-Davies looked like he could wander off the set at any moment. Burt Reynolds just stood around and stared a lot. The only saving graces this movie had were that it looks great(it really does), and Claire Forlani. She was the only one doing any acting, and she was hot as hell. Her cleavage was the only epic thing about the movie. LeeLee looked good during her one sword fight, but she didn't do anything the whole rest of the movie. Really, she just stood around. Her character was pointless. The writing was atrocious of course. The effects were hit and miss. It would be good, and then they would throw in a horrible matte painting. The editing was what really killed it for me. It would cut away from scenes too quick, like someone was about to talk and boom, we are in a fight scene with different people. One thing I found odd was that anyone that didn't die in a battle scene, didn't actually die on camera. The camera is on the dying guy, then cuts to the other guy, and cuts back to the guy being dead already. Ron Perlman just disappeared from the movie altogether. I assume he died since he was stabbed, but he just kind of wandered off. Burt Reynold's death scene was the worst in the history of cinema. He's animated, wide awake, and talking with his hands one minute, cut to the other guy, cut back and his eyes are closed and he's dead. WTF Another example of the bad editing is the ending. Huge ending battle between the main good guy and main bad guy. The fight ends and straight to the credits without anything being said. No wrap up. None of the sort of thing you usually see at the end of these types of movies, just straight to the credits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is EXACTLY how Bloodrayne ended. I'm not joking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point I was making is that it was a common occurrence in Uwe Boll movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Robinson Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 BloodRayne had some pretty hilarious editing. The scene where Kristanna Loken was practicing with her weapons was priceless, because it was very obvious she had no idea what she was doing. I really wouldn’t be surprised if Boll made his money back through DVD sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 The best part about her weapons is that once her sharp weapons broke (i.e., her STAGE PROPS), she got blunted-edged weapons to replace them. Durrrr...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Robinson Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 That explains why she was spinning the blades around so slowly. You wouldn’t want to make a mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Yeah, god forbid you slice yourself when you're a dhampir and can regenerate any severed limbs. But hey, this is the same character who started fucking a guy who wanted her dead, so whaddya gonna do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Robinson Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I question the guy’s actions more than hers, unless sex somehow prevents half vampires who are dangerously close to giving in to their vampire instincts from feasting on your neck.

JackFetch Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 The dvd came out, and I just had to get it(hey, I enjoyed it for what it was, quit judging). You know how on the back of the dvd it talks about the movie, and lists the stars with what they are known for? They got John Rhys-Davies(The Lord of the Ring Trilogy), Ron Perlman(Hellboy). That's fine. That's what they are known for. This is what they have for Ray Liotta -Wild Hogs. Has anyone involved in making this dvd never seen Goodfellas?

James D. Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Oh, God.........this movie is so, SO fucking bad. The acting, in particular, is just atrocious. And I'm only five minutes into it. The Tranquil Tirades haven't seen the last of Uwe Boll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny to see Claire Forlani acting, and everyone else looking like they are thinking about what to have for lunch. Maybe she didn't understand this isn't another Lord of the Rings movie.
