BloodRayne2 movie review

BloodRayne 2: Deliverance

Ok so about a year after the first BloodRayne we get its straight to DVD sequel. This time Rayne is taking out vampire cowboys in the Wild West can a new actress and new setting save this series or will it be just as pointless as the first. Well read on to find out but I think you know the answer.

BloodRayne 2 takes place in a small town during the Wild West time era. This time Rayne has to take on a vampiric Billy the kid who is rounding up cowboys and turning them into vampires and children for some reason or other.

Well BloodRayne 2 does absolutely nothing to help this series at all the new actress is simply there for her looks where as at least Kristina Loken had martial arts and fighting experience. The best part about the first movie, the gore is absent in this one.

Again the movie is not based on either of the game stories and again shows Rayne's past which is fine. I actually liked this story better then the first as far as writing goes because it doesn’t change the facts about Rayne’s life it’s just an adventure she had during her long life.

Zach Ward is decent as the vampire Billy the kid but I’m a bit partial to him ever since the sitcom Titus. The new Rayne is bland as well as the supporting actors and actresses. The movie isn’t paced well at all and has even less action sequences then the first and like the first it fails to capture Rayne’s true powers.

There’s a scene where Billy is holding a weight or something above a child’s head and threatening to release it. Rayne should have been able to use her speed to slice Billy and catch the rope I mean in the game she can dodge bullets. She does catch the rope but it is with a great deal of effort.

Other than that there’s not much more to say the movie is just a continuation of the crappy Uwe Boll movies and is even worse than the first one as it’s missing the only good parts from the first one.

Overall the movie fails harder than the first to deliver a good BloodRayne story or even a good b vampire movie the lost boys 2 is a much better straight to DVD vampire sequel.

How would I do it? I would dump the Wild West and like the first one id actually put her in ww2. I have heard there is going to be a third one that finally gets to the stories of the games but we will have to wait and see.

Overall I give the movie this movie gets 2 out of 10 Dhampir blades. It’s just as bad as the first if not worse

The acting gets 2 out of 10. I like Zach Ward but that’s about all only good thing is him being in this movie probably helped him get the role as the postal dude.

The plot gets 1 out of 10. It’s just a side Rayne story and has no bearing or plot elements from the game.

The content gets 1 out of 10. Nothing but Rayne is from the games.

Ok so that’s out of the way a quick short one for a crappy movie up next is the last resident evil then Hitman then back to boll with his first big budget film and as soon as I save and post this I’m going to start on the resident evil review so expect them within hours of each other.
