Blade Trinity (may contain spoilers)

Nice film has anyone else seen this, I went last night and enjoyed it. It was nice to see Ryan Reynolds play a different role than his Berg role in Two guys and a girl and a pizza place. and it had a great final ending.

It was nice to see Ryan Reynolds play a different role than his Berg role in Two guys and a girl and a pizza place.

Ugh, he acts almost exactly as he does in both the film and Two Guys And A Girl. Same sarcastic attitude and one-liners. Only difference being Ryan now kills things. Still, i thought he added alot to the film, even if he was just a cheesy sidekick. Jessica Biel on the other hand, i thought was annoying as fuck.

and it had a great final ending.

I thought the ending was horrendously anti-climactic.

Spoiler

They could have drawn out the battle with Dracula a bit longer, and maybe killed off atleast one of the main characters other than Whistler. I mean, this is the so called "end game", the ultimate final battle with Dracula.

It's not an overly bad film, atleast not on a level with AvP. But still, it just comes across as a very rushed film. Though tbh i'd say it's the best of the three.

I was dissapointed by it, Ryan Reynolds' character was some kind of bastardised Jason Lee clone, spouting comical lines at every given opportunity. Jessica Biel, pumped up as she was, really just felt like she was there for eye candy material.

Plus, aren't vampires supposed to be scary, or at least intimidating?

Spoiler

Other bits and pieces annoyed me. The sequence with Dracula made up to look like Whistler, how did he know what Whistler looked like? Why did he morph into him in the first place, to get into the complex?

The video of the blind scientist, did she send the video prior to wandering around the complex to see if anything was wrong, if so, that must mean she knew she was going to die and may as well have found a place to hide rather than bimble about aimlessly.

What was with the bloody iPod plug, "Swords, check. Guns, check. Kickass choons on my brand new iPod only $199, check" What a load of crap :|

</rant>

I thought this when I saw the movie, and every person i've spoken to since has said the same thing, what's with the slow-mo walking towards the camera jig? It was used more than the only whore in town.

Spoiler

Dracula's walking down the street? cool, let's put him in some cheap porn clothing and have him walk (in slo-mo) towards the camera, wow I love this film already :|

...So anyway, it was OK to watch once, just don't feel a great need to watch it again

Found it very poor,felt like a cheap comedy with guest appearance from Blade.Nowhere near as good as 1 or 2 IMO.

 

[Yaka]

i thought it was better than 2, with Blade being the same moody guy he was in the first one. but for a finale part of the series why the fuck didnt they go all out. the 1st had everything moody hero dead mentor, blood showers in night clubs, crazy bitch of a mother and classy sword fights.

2 and 3 have nowt

Stephen Dorff played the best bad guy so far imo.

only just saw this. It was enjoyable, but very poor compared to the other two. They went with a good idea bringing Dracula back, but then they forget they had a good idea and made the film with lots of bad ones.

Well this may be the worst film to have ever been given a cinema release. Next to sex lives of the potatohead men that is.

I always feel that if you're going to bring back someone as iconic as Dracula you really need to make sure that the actor (and his representation) isn't shit.

Ryan Reynoulds was mildly amusing but I felt it was just an opportunity for him to show how many times he went to the gym last year. "excuse me but does your shirt really need to be torn off AGAIN?"

Please watch American Splendour before making such claims

Given the quality of some of the comic book adaptations, American Splendour one one of the most unexpected and best (I'd never heard of it and giving what the material was, would honestly have never expected such a good movie to come out of it, if at all).

Blade Trinity just didn't feel like a Blade movie (I don't read comic books, so I only ever go off my impressions of the movies and don't compare all that much them to the comics, just as I do book to film adaptations), when I first saw it, it just felt like some set up for the night stalkers, which oddly enough I found out later it was. Dracula holds an almost mythological status, and really wants to be treated with respect.

I might not be a great screenwriter, i'm probably an even worse writer fullstop, but that's largely because if I don't feel that I can't do the story justice, i don't do it all, which might be why i've never finished any stories that i've started. I do wish the person who wrote Blade Trinity would have had the same realisation.

Although having said that, it's been months since i've seen the movie, but unlike some other movies i've seen in the past that are probably regarded as bad now, this I don't look at with rose tinted glasses.
