Blade 3: Trinity

that's a good thing. well, he was supposed to be romanian. before i saw the movie, i had no idea that he had a beast and human form. it was nice that dracula had a sense of honor and told blade that he respected him just before he officially died. also, that he was able to shapeshift and his thoughts on the modern world and mortality, the human race. gave him more depth than any previous version of him that i've ever seen or read. 😎

i watched Blade 2 for the first time today and i really enjoyed it. i actually remember hating the original but i watched that when i was young and stupid so i think i'll appreciate it more now that im older and wiser. i think the reason why first-timers love this movie is because it stood entirely on its own and since i can't remember the first, i can't compare the two.

i also find Wesley Snipes very attractive which is kinda weird considerin' im more than half his age. i think his character is very brave and honourable and a superb fighter. he appears very hardcore and emotionless on the outside but has a kind and gentle side to him and i liked how he allowed Nyssa to feed off him and looked out for her despite not knowing her very well. i sympathise for him cos he is such a lonely person. everyone else betrayed him and his only real friend is an old man called Whistler. i think the fight scenes are kick ass, probably one of the best ive ever seen. they just seem so perfectly choreographed and executed and just leave you gasping in shock at times. the scene at the end where he shows Nyssa the sun was very sad and poignant - he lost the first girl he ever had feelings for. and it wasn't fluffy at all as someone mentioned earlier. it would've been way too corny if he kissed her but he didn't which is good! i love the way Wesley talks in this movie too. he is just too darn cool for school.

anyway, those are my thoughts on Blade 2. im really looking forward to the third! damn why am I always such a late fan? now im totally bummed that this is gonna be the final instalment in the franchise. no one can play Blade better than Snipes.

i agree with you there on what you said about blade two. it totally stood on it's own from the first movie. also, it was nice to see that side of blade in movie two, too bad you don't get to see that side as much in blade trinity. *sigh* bummer... 🙁 guillmero del toro did such a great job with two, too!

What I thought was cool about Blade 2 was that their was a vampire extermination squad like thing. (Even though they all double crossed each other but it was still cool.) That guy with the samurai swords owned.

Very good points,

Finally someone agrees with me.

that guy with the samurai swords reminded me alot of kroenan from hellboy, which was also directed by guillmero del toro.

no problem, tfp! 😊 sadly, not a whole lot of people can appreciate the blade movies. i'm referring to most of the users at this other forum called blood ties.

Yeah not like us unfortunately for them.

glory, the people at the blood ties forums over appreciate the sophisticated site of vampires and kept saying how bad the blade movies were. they were saying such things as how it ruined vampire movies. stuff like that. oh well, i guess they just didn't understand the value of the other blade movies nor read the comics. i liked the movied just find. there's always a honest and true dark side to vampire movies. not all vampires have to be sophisticated. it's nice to see a darker and more gruesome side of their world to show that it's not such a glamerous and wonderful life as its cracked up to be.

I completely agree with those points.

Its also a great enjoyment for me when I see the character go from the comic's pages I read as a kid to the big screen and a hundred times better.

once again, i agree with you all the way. i enjoyed reading the spider-man comic books after the first movie seeing what sam and his crew did for the sequel was wonderful for the eyes to see.

i found dracula's body armour to be interesting. sorry, but i forgot, why exactly was he buried in eygpt? i know one of his reasons was that he was sick of the world of how vampires lived in it or humans or sompin' like that...

I agree, there is nothing like watching and reading the characters as a kid and watching them come to life on the big screen. It was also interesting when Spider-Man and Blade were featured together in the animated TV show in the 90's.

Yes, I also found the armor to be interesting as well as his regular appearance when he was not morphing into another person or likeness. He was actually buried somewhere else, but anyway he did not like what the vampires had become.

*gasp* 😱 they were?! i didn't know that! damn, must've missed that one! >,< *argh*

ah yes, so he wasn't originally buried in eygpt.

shape shifting is definitely a new one.

Well it wasn't a whole series based on Blade and Spider-Man, it was just based on Spider-Man, but Blade was featured on about 4-5 episodes. It was the only media outlet where Blade was displayed to a wide audience before the films.

Yeah he was buried in Syria/Iraq

Yes, and I respected the originality in the new power/ability they introduced for Dracula that hadn't been featured in such a manner in films before.

Which are two different places altogether. 🙄

i don't mean to be smart but dracula's had that power before, in bram stokers dracula he could turn into a wolf... and also turn himself into a smoke like substance...

I think he meant the human morphing, but I could be wrong.

Yeah Draculas shapeshifting is very well known.

Turning into a bat is usually how it's represented in the movies of old.

He also transforms into a handsome man in order to seduce and charm women in some movies.

Draculas shapeshifting is nothing new.

Yeah, but he has not morphed into other people's likeness's in such a manner in the past as he has in Blade:Trinity.

ive just been to see blade 3 today and was impressed. i liked it better than blade two yet i havnt seen a fight seen in the blade series as the fight scene at the beggining of blade 1 in the underground nghtclub. that was really cool!
No one has really lived up to gary oldmans performance as dracula.
