It’s funny, and I’m not singling out Twitch here for their comments in their story as they are more select in their viewing, but a lot of sites are blasting the trailer for Doom and now the zipped trailer for Bloodrayne for just their original material, involved people and the trailer itself.
Actually saying that I kinda get their point, but there’s something here about giving a movie a chance and also reviewing it in context. These films are not Citizen Kane, they are adapated from games where you run around killing everything, games that even in the game genre have the weakest of plots. Is it therefore unfair to start expecting something deep or intelligent from it? Well, yes. Especially with the likes of Uwe Boll at the helm.
It’s blood, gore, shooting, shouting and posturing. It’s popcorn entertainment, just as Fantastic Four was. Despite that I saw one reviewer giving that one star out of five, which I think is totally misrepresenting the movie.
So, settle back, watch that trailer (once you’ve downloaded and unzipped it) and watch it for what it is. Popcorn entertainment with shatterings of blood and gore.
Still, I’m realistic. Boll hasn’t produced anything entertaining for me, so I doubt this will be! Same deal today, I’m at work and haven’t seen it, so you guys can review it below.
