V.G. Movies #41: BloodRayne: The Third Reich.

[Welcome back to the Evolution of Video Game Movies series. Every week, I will be moving forward through time, starting with the earliest and ending with the most recent of video game movies. I will be detailing the histories of the games and how the films came about, and both my and fan reaction to the adaptations. Practically all of my background information is either common knowledge or from Wikipedia. So without further ado, let's move on to the next film on the list.]

THE HISTORY

Whereas the previous two movies had nothing to do with the games, this film actually takes an idea and/or setting from a game. It sets BloodRayne up against Nazis. But, being a Boll film, that doesn't matter in the slightest.

THE FILM

Plot that makes no sense. Continuity of story or characters doesn't work from film-to-film (or even scene-to-scene). Some of the same actors are brought back to play new characters in a different era... making no sense. But there is a pointless lesbian sex scene. And a pointless hetero sex scene. And a bunch of other pointless scenes. And everything is done incompetently. However, Clint Howard--one of the two primary villains--was cheesily awesome and hilarious. But, in other words, it sucks. What'd you expect?

  1. You're a better man than me. I didn't even make it past the pointless lesbian scene.

    1. To be fair, I was cleaning up the apartment while I watched.
