Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

BelSports 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.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

DigitalRevenantX7 A couple of centuries after defeating Kagan, the female vampire-human hybrid Rayne is now trekking across the Wild West, slaughtering any vampire she crosses. But she meets her match in Billy the Kid, a fearsome vampire gunslinger who has taken over the town of Deliverance with his army of vampire cowboys. Sensing that she'll need to get some help to kill these bloodsuckers, Rayne seeks out some bad hombres to help her in her mission.BloodRayne was the third video game adaptation that Uwe Boll had made in his career. The film became a laughing stock due to its poorly written script, ill-thought out story & the fascinating image of once-great actors effortlessly destroying their good reputations (namely Ben Kingsley) by appearing in trash like this. What nobody expected was for the film to get a sequel, let alone two of them. But that is what happened here.The film is a surprise for a sequel to a cheap trashfest that almost everybody hates. But Boll, who has actually got some talent up his sleeve, manages to do a better job than what he did two years before. Here he makes a vampire western with Natassia Malthe filling in for Kristanna Loken & doing a better job of it too. She actually makes the character of Rayne much more believable here than Loken's efforts. Michael Pare (the only actor to appear in all three current BloodRayne films) has a more substantial part here while Zack Ward does his best vampire impression as the villain. On the other hand, Michael Eklund is so OTT as the preacher that you wonder if he's been on an all-night acid bender before showing up for filming.But while the story is slightly more substantial than the original, BloodRayne: Deliverance is still a mediocre film. It has some shootouts but these are marred by Boll's insistence on using slow-motion for stylistic effect, something that makes no sense. I'm not particularly enthused on vampires being killed by bullets that have been rubbed in garlic (making cross-shaped marks on their bullets would have been more effective – if it worked for George Clooney, it will work here!) but the film does a slightly reasonable job in selling that idea forward.

highlander-macleod I played BloodRayne video game for PC long before the first movie was released, so I can criticize Deliverance not only as a movie spectator, but as a fan of the original character too. Unfortunately, Deliverance is a disaster in any way you look at it.I think we could use some information from BloodRayne PC Manual, to have an idea of who Rayne really are, and to reaffirm just how ridiculous this Deliverance movie is: "In 1932 an American teenage girl was apprehended in Europe after carving a path of destruction trying to track down and kill her biological father. The girl's name was Rayne and she claimed the people she killed, and her father who was still at large, were vampires.Before more information was attained, the girl disappeared.That girl is a Dhampir; a product of her human mother's rape by her vampire father. Born with powers of a vampire without all of the weaknesses. She was taken in by an underground organization calling themselves the Brimstone Society--a top-secret fraternity that hunts down and destroys supernatural threats. Agent BloodRayne, as she is now known, protects humanity from things that ordinary people shouldn't have to deal with.In the years between the World Wars, Agent BloodRayne works as a killing machine for The Brimstone Society. Two missions, five years apart, turn out to be connected by one man. For years, this man has been searching the world for powerful occult artifacts to bring Germany into a new age of domination. Agent BloodRayne must face this man's elite Nazi army to prevent them from releasing creatures of unfathomable terror onto the world in their unwavering quest for the artifacts." Humans are able to do amazing things, but this potential can also be used to construct horrible aberrations. The original game plot isn't brilliant, but it's very OK for an action game. I'm sure someone competent could have adapted BloodRayne history for an excellent movie. This was successfully done before with other games, pleasing both movie critics and video game fans. However, Deliverance plot is so boring, foreseeable and idiot, that normal people will have serious problems to reach the end of the movie without skip.There are many other problems, like the uncountable disgraceful clichés. This movie has the same American Old West, with the same gunmen and the classic wild preacher! This time with some crazy vampires that are not vampires at all! Billy the Kid?! WTF!? And how about the ridiculous toothpick from Rayne? Furthermore, soundtrack is awful, visual effects and fighting scenes are very poor, actors aren't convincing...Natassia Malthe is indeed a beautiful actress, but she was wasted in a shameful character. In the video games or comic books Rayne is portrayed like a sexy, strong female character, but in Deliverance she's just an idiot kid, always acting over the top. Besides, in the movie Rayne is weak and doesn't seem to have vampire supernatural powers. I think the only moment in which Malthe looked like Rayne was the sexy scene when she seduces a gunman to immobilize him in bed. Nevertheless, considering her superpowers, it's unlikely that real Rayne would act like this, but we can't affirm this is an impossible scenery as well.In short, words can't describe how bad this movie is. It is a disaster. We can only imagine why Majesco allowed a movie like this. They should have more respect for their own creations. First BloodRayne movie was very bad, but Deliverance is worse. Do not waste your time or money with this aberration.I suggest you all to ignore this movie and to give Rayne another shot, in video games or comics!

mikelang42 Part two of a series of straight to DVD Rayne vampire movies, this handsome looking low budget adult Western rides along OK, with all action actress Nataassia Maithe as Rayne the Vampire killer and Zack Ward playing Billy the kid, the Vampire boss who comes to the town Deliverance, waiting for the new railroad to come to town so that he can send his new souls across America. Fun for the late night audience, this gets by on Maithe's charm,looks and fighting abilities and Wards menacing vampire. Don't expect much and you will be pleased. The music score sounds very much like Close Every Door, a song from Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Joseph and his Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.This series has quite a following here in the UK.There are also some minor cuts for the TV version here in UK.

Kritorian While i enjoyed the first Bloodrayne i think this sequel falls through completely. Every flaw of the first one is repeated here and made worse.Every bit of dialogue seems "out of sync" with what the movie is supposed to be. It simply takes away any chance of building intensity. The script is thinner than the paper it was written on. Cinematography is absolute crap, i'm guessing it suffers from low budget but definitely also from lack of vision. It does seem to want to recreate the feeling from certain old Sergio Leone western classics but fails so miserably at that and to the point where i can understand if some individuals would take offense. Throughout the movie every sequence is so slow paced it feels like the movie is made in slow motion. A proper director's cut would last 30 minutes at best.Strangely i feel that the score actually works. It's like its supposed to be even if the movie isn't.Most of the acting is poor but i think it's mainly due to bad script and bad dialogue. No actor in the world would be able to make a difference here. Unlike others i find the Billy the Kid character to work out fine, in fact both him and his crew manages to be nasty and unlikable like they should be. I find it hard to say much about Natassia Malthe because the script really doesn't produce sequences where she or anyone else would be allowed to shine much. There are a few scenes where she shows she could probably do it if she had something to work with.All in all not THE worst movie i've ever seen - but it comes close.
