Blade - 8/10
Blade II - 8/10
If rated solely for coolness, & how much of a bad-ass Blade is - 10/10
Blade Trinity - 6/10
Too much "Nightstalker" action, & not enough Blade. I had heard that was due to Goyer thinking of doing a Nightstalker spin-off, which would make sense (not that doing a spin-off itself would actually make sense, as that would suck).
Jessica Biel is super-sexy as Whistler's daughter Abigail, although the whole iPod thing is stupid. Still, at least she's better than...
Hannibal King. I can't remember the name of the guy who played King, & I don't want to. The character was an irritating arse, rather than what I assume was meant to be some sort of ill-judged comic relief. Blade's face whenever King speaks says it all...
The only funny thing King said was a joke about lesbian vampires.
Other than that, he was a <beep beep>, & seemed out of place in what is meant to be a BLADE MOVIE. I want to see Wesley Snipes killing vampires with loads of cool weapons, not some unfunny numpty making jokes.
The dogs were also bloody stupid. WTF was up with the whole Reaper mouth thing?!
Oh, & Drake... Although it was amusing seeing Prison Break's Lincoln Burrows as a vampire, I think the whole Drake thing was crap in various ways. Ah, he's got a "segmented snake style skeleton" so he can shapeshift, of course...
And WTF did he have a Reaper mouth when in monster form?
Funny seeing BSG's Leoben as a vampire too.
And the main vampire chick was quite fit.
Also, the ending of the Extended version makes no sense. If they wanted to remove the bit with Drake-as-Blade on the autopsy table, they really should have also removed Drake's comment to Blade about a "parting gift".
Still, at least the final cut didn't use the
godawful warewolf ending...
I did quite enjoy Trinity, & I enjoyed it the 1st time I saw it a few years ago or whenever it came out. But watching again it straight after re-watching the first two really shows how poor it is in comparison...
