Vampirella

i used to have a lot of the old vampirella magazines years ago so i was really looking forward to seeing this movie version of the worlds hottest vampire.oh my god was i ever let down after watching this real bad b movie.i wasn't expecting Alaska but i wasn't expecting this.and to add insult to injury roger daltry playing vlad.hahahaha what a joke.the only good thing about this movie is the sexy and lovely talisa soto.this lady is so hot that you will be able to watch this movie just because of her.i know her costume is cheesy and is different from the one in the comics.but come on guys if she came to your house wearing that costume would you complain.i didn't think so.one more thing the 4 rating is only because of her.

Everyone know what Vampirella is supposed to look like. If you don't know a quick image search on Google will tell you. You'll find many examples in both fan-art and cosplay. It's blood red and comes down from the top on both sides to a very low cut bottom with a gold bat. But that's not what she looks like in this C-Movie. They have her in a cheap red PVC two-piece with suspenders that a dancer in a third-rate topless bar wouldn't be caught undead in, that looks like a bad Halloween knock-off of a Vampareilla costume. I guess they spent all the wardrobe budget and most the rest of the movie's budget on getting Daltry to do the movie, after telling him, "You'll be the star of the worst movie ever made!" didn't work. Bad writing, bad lighting, bad fighting, bad acting, bad directing, zero production values. I can't say enough bad things about this movie. Watch it for laughs.

I have to say this is one of the worst movies ive seen in my life. This is just a bad bad bad bad b-movie.The lines were horrible with lines such as "Holy Crap" and "You're too sexy!" you just had to cringe as these things came out of their lives. the Acting was also bad, over enthusiasm and coldness was just the tip of the ice berg. The story was just crummy why couldn't they have based it more on the current storyline of the comic? nope they chose the crummy 60's story about vampires from outer space? Not to mention the costume she wore HELLO?! this is not the same costume from the cover. The stunts were just horrid and fake, plus who did the editing on this crummy movie? Please do yourself a favor save your money and use the two hours on something worthwhile like reading a book.

I've been an avid Vampirella fan since she first appeared in comics, so when I saw the video, I wondered why I had never heard of it before or saw it on DVD. I finally knew why: the movie is a totally disappointing experience. The costume of the main character isn't nearly close to the original (as portrayed in the comic books), and Talisa Soto (no matter how truly beautiful she is) is not the most appropriate leading lady for this particular role. From the look of the comics, we can figure out that Vampirella is a mixture of Slavic and middle east ethnic features (not a bad thing for any girl, because it's truly exotic in nature), and Soto is a Latin beauty. Not quite a match in casting, at all. For those viewers who aren't familiar with the characters from the comics, the movie is boring and slow paced, with loose references to the comic and really cheap costumes (the experience is even worst for those who knew the characters before hand). Also the visual effects are quite poor, to say the least. However, Joel Goldsmith's score is excellent, and it's really about the only production value on the film. I'll give this movie a 5, just on the basis of the music track alone, and I wouldn't mind at all to have it on CD, because it's truly enjoyable.

OK, to get this part out of the way, I don't read comic books, and had never heard of the title character. So, unlike some of the previous geek commentators, I have no disappointment about the adaptation of the material. Now, I find it fairly hard to rate some aspects of movies, (e.g. acting) when the actors are portraying cartoon characters. I would normally say that Roger Daltrey was exceedingly bad in this, playing it way over the top, etc. but is that really true when he's playing a comic book figure? I'm not sure. Richard Joseph Paul (three first names?) as Van Helsing was bad any way you look at it. Talisa Soto seemed pretty good given the limitations of the material. Corinna Harney was good in a small part. There could have been a bit more T&A. It's a Roger Corman production, for crying out loud! I'd say missing this one would be a good choice.
