I think you're getting a bit out of hand defining what is and is not bullet dodging.
Face it, we aren't all gonna agree.

But I have seen the films many times, I know what I am gonna see. You have my word, later tonight I'll watch with complete objectivity and see.
My examples of bullet dodging?
Danny the Dog in Unleashed.
Drake in Blade 3.
YuLaw in The One.

Frost did. This is what I mean, do you even watch these movies?
When Frost is holding the little Asian girl, Blade fires at him and he actually stares at the bullet as he's dodging out of the way. He does one way and then the other.
Frost did, yeah, but we are talking about the jailhouse scene in Trinity. I recall the vamps doing what Selene did in Underworld 2 against the soldiers in the woods, moving before the gun was fired. That, IMO, is not bullet dodging.
But like I said, I'll watch again later to refresh my memory.

Also, why would they move before the gun was fired?
The emphasis is always on showing how fast vampires are, so the logical conclusion would be that they dodged the bullets. If they dodged before the gun sounded, I can totally understand RJ's point, but that could just be unfortunate editing.
I think the depiction is always that they dodge bullets.
Either way, they are just as fast, whether they "dodged" the bullet, or moved out of the way before the gun was fired.

At 1:35 Hannibal enters, at 1:40 he shoots a vamp (Why didn't the vamp dodge? Interesting)...At 1:46 he tries to shoot Danica, but she spins away, that aint bullet dodging. That's simply her seeing that she was in the line of fire and reacting. Also, it was dark, maybe Hannibal couldn't get a good shot? I dunno.
There are many instances where Abigail shoots the vamps with her bow, why didn't they dodge?
This is bullet dodging, at 2:33:

Dodging a bullet means just that, it was aiming for you; it would have hit you, but you moved out of the way. I.E., you move (super-fast) after it is fired.
Evading gunfire, is staying clear out of the line of fire. E.G., what Batman does, he's avoids being in a position where a bullet could hit him, he does so by staying one-step ahead of the gunman/men.
