THE CHOSEN ONE: LEGEND OF THE RAVEN is a straight-to-video independent film that reaches new lows in terms of amateurish behaviour. The story is about some kind of Native American legend that sees a mysterious figure, the Raven, brought to Earth to right wrongs and punish misdeeds. Said Raven comes in the form of the shapely Carmen Electra, she of the voluptuous figure and no discernible acting ability.This is truly pitiful stuff with barely any kind of a story to drive it forward. The acting is really, really bad, with Electra particularly awful. Wait until you see some of the superhero costumes she wears. The rest of the cast make no impact whatsoever, and the film just sort of ambles along, throwing in regular sex sessions in which Electra's body double gets a regular workout. It's cheap, nasty, boring, and an obvious gender-twist rip-off of THE CROW. Avoid like the plague.

Just read the summary here and you will find a wonderful example. But when you reach this such low level, it's also great opportunities to open meditation. In a way, I take this mystic bad movie as a modern fairy tale and it can become interesting: here, the setting is thus really great as it's the wild California: woods, hills nearly left away of civilization The native American lore is well done and this arched house is beautiful.. At last, Carmen and Shauna arouse also interest because beyond, there is nothing more: the characters are bad, the scenes are useless and at the end, it's more like a very cheap super heroes movie than a mystic struggle very inspired by the Mumbo Jumbo of SW, the dark side, the chosen one, etc
... View MoreFirst, I just want to say that Carmen Electra is very beautiful (in or out of costume), but her acting talents are wasted in this long and boring Troma flick. Did she really give up TV's Baywatch for this crap? There's really no action until the last ten minutes of the film, but by then you may have bailed out. If you're interested, there's at least five sex scenes -- three of them with Ms. Electra. If you really want to see Carmen Electra naked, check out some web sites or buy a pin-up poster. Enough said. My evaluation: (no stars).
