The only genuinely great thing that came out of this movie is that it is almost the direct cause for inspiring Ryan Reynolds to play Deadpool. Let me clarify, so back in 2005 after this movie was released a movie producer who is also a big comic fan called Ryan and told him that if they ever make a Deadpool movie he should play it because of how his character in this movie is so much like Wade Wilson. Ryan said he didn’t know who Deadpool was so the producer sent him some comics. And in the first page of the first one he read an old woman asks Deadpool what he looks like under the mask and Deadpool says “I look Like a cross between Ryan Reynolds and a Shar-Pei”. And after that he fell in love with the comics.
"Sorry, I ate a lot of sugar today". Ryan started channeling Deadpool long before playing the role. 20 years later, it all came full circle between him and Wesley.
Wow I'm shocked no one commented this yet, as ive seen it elsewhere! But during her training for this movie, Jessica Biel got so good with a bow & arrow, that during that scene when she shoots those henchmen, and the camera pans around so the arrow is coming directly at it? They covered the rest of the camera, leaving a small hole open, for the camera to record. When she took the shot, she accidentally shot it *DIRECTLY* into the hole, absolutely destroying the camera 😂😂
I'm have to say this isn't the best of the trilogy, but is the one I've watched the most as a child. The scene that Hannibal was telling Dracula's story, following by him day walking with that music stucked on my mind
I love the Dracula iteration in this. Also Mr. Dracul basically a wolf and all these new-gen vampires devolved like a domesticated dogs. He was like, "what happened?" 😂
None of that matters because the movie was TRASH, and Triple H is a terrible actor. That's why he went back to pro wrestling, where they have ever worse writing nowadays. TERRANCE OUT
I love how half the comments are about Hannibal King being a proto-Deadpool, half are thirsting for Kristen, and half are debating weather Blade Trinity was good or bad
It should have been the best thing but he's honestly the worst villain of the movies. And his vampire form was overdone. You could tell they tried to copy some of the magic of the Reaper vampires from the last movie, but they overdesigned him to try and make him look scarier.
@@dylanhopkins5934 I see his form more as a confirmation that old dude from Blade 2 was on the right track with his genetic modifications. Reapers had the tongue and jaw. If Blade hadn't torn them down, they probably would have replicated Dracula eventually.
@TimedRevolver if they were really on the right track then they would have ended up with something like blade. And his mouth opening up like that wasn't the only issue. It was everything. It was the whole look. I didn't like the look at all. Everything about it just looked corny and trying too hard. Even his voice sounded corny. He wasn't that much of a threat either. Blade struggled more against nomak in blade 2. Nomak was also scarier & looked more like what a classic vampire is supposed to look like. Dracula is just not supposed to look like that. They weren't confirming anything. They were just using what worked before cause they sucked at being original. 🤷🏾♂️
@TimedRevolver why would we be using dracula from every media? This is marvel. Marvel is the only media we should be taking from. Not vanhelsing, not DC, not Bram Stoker's dracula, and not hotel transylvania. There is an established look. With that being said, if you're going to change the look then it better be good. In this case it was not.
I remember even in the early days of the Internet back on the old sci-fi message boards people were talking about Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool solely based on his performance in Blade, Trinity
People told Ryan Reynolds he should play Deadpool after this performance and that's when he discovered the character. I always enjoyed this movie and the assortment of characters, but it definitely suffered from behind the scenes drama and the sidelining of Snipes was definitely intentional.
Ryan Reynold's comedy, although funny, didn't work in this movie unless you change his character to Wade Wilson. 😅 I think Dracula needed to take over the vampires in a show of strength and have a earth concurring plan once risen. It was still a fun movie so I give it 7/10.
Wesley Snipes hated this film, he thought the comedy bits were stupid. He thought the Blade character was getting lost in favor of the other two characters. He often clashed with screenwriter/director David S Goyer at one point putting Goyer in a choke hold during an argument.
Hey you guys! I loved this movie. I saw it in the theater 4 times. I was hoping that Jessica biel would get a spinoff movie because she killed it as Abigail Whistler. She trained extremely hard for this role. I loved how they made her fighting Style a Blend of KENPO KARATE, WING CHUN AND BRUCE LEE'S JEET KUNE DO. I myself am a KENPO Blackbelt and train in WING CHUN/JKD concepts, and let me tell you the movements and fight scenes she did were very authentic. Ryan Reynolds was dope, and Wesley always rocks it as Blade. As usual. I Loved the reaction video! Excellent job!!! 😎🥋🤙🏾
Blade Trinity was David S. Goyer's 2nd film as director. He was the main screenwriter of the entire trilogy. Blade debuting in The Tomb of Dracula comics (1973) was to be one of many foes for The Prince of Darkness himself. It was only right that the villain of this film would Dracula as Blade's ultimate challenge. The original vision was post-apocalyptic with Dracula's return to power. Instead it was kept modern and added characters (Nightstalkers) from those comics. Dracula/Drake was depleased with how vampires were more loved than feared, like they weren't a threat anymore and i liked that. The extended cut is a bit better than the theatrical version plus 2 alternate endings that were interesting. Ryan Reynolds as Hannibal King was much different than the comics and behind the scenes, the Deadpool character was actually mentioned to RR and the rest was history. Jessica Biel aka Wifey of J.T. as Abigail Whistler was based on Rachel Van Helsing from the comics as an similar legacy connection. Still has the tone of the other films. Less wire work, more hardcore fighting and everyone is in amazing shape for this one. The storyline is cool, score/soundtrack are both good. But it's seen as the worse for a reason. It all began behind the scenes. Controversy with how the film was written and directed. Also leading to on-set altercations, contractual and legal battles with the studios, Wesley's disapproval with the process of it being made. The movie didn't flop, but even some audiences weren't pleased neither. Blade had the first-ever Marvel original series for mature audiences, pre-Netflix. Ran 1 season (13 episodes) om Spike tv, set in the same universe as the trilogy following the events of Trinity. Even if Trinity was considered the worse, Goyer as an filmmaker bounced back with creating the screenstory for The Dark Knight Trilogy and co-writing Batman Begins with Christopher Nolan.
Definitely doesn't have the same tone of the other films. It also had less hardcore fighting than Blade 1 and 2. I'm pretty sure this one has more wire work than Blade 2, and the storyline is pretty weak. The reason people didn't like it is because it wasn't very good. The rumors behind the scenes, wasn't what made people dislike this film.
This would be a great movie if they picked a lane: either make it a Blade movie with Abby as his second, or make it a Nightstalkers movie to introduce the team and let Ryan take lead. They tried to do both at the expense of each other. I still enjoy it, but it could have been way better. Also RIP to the 300,000 dollar camera taken out by Jessica's arrow lol
Reynolds is a beast body wise in this as well. Dude put work in but I was like damn bro, save some women for the rest of us! Dude got straight bros rethinking things hahaha
This movie is SO “13 year olds in 2004”, the only thing missing is Ryan Reynolds eating cool ranch Doritos, drinking Mountain Dew while playing Tony Hawk skater on his Xbox, while a poster of Jessica Alba in a bikini and the band offspring are in the background lol
This is the blade movie I saw first. So I don’t have the negative feelings for it. It just felt like a movie to me… not an extreme departure from the tone of the previous blade movies. Going back and seeing the first two, I can see why people don’t like this one. I didn’t like that we had a lot less Wesley Snipes. But I LOVE that we got shirtless Ryan Reynolds. So I’m torn. 😀 Don’t love the female villain in this one as much. I adore Dominic Purcell… Prison Break is the only prison movie/show I would ever watch… because the beautiful main characters overcome my anxiety of prison stuff. 😀
David S. Goyer wrote and directed this movie, which surprises me because he also wrote and directed Dark City--which, by its title alone tells you what vibe it is. Totally different movies.
As a lifelong fan of the Blade comics in the early 90's, I was awestruck with the first movie. Unlike most, I never understood the hype around #2, which was out of character and weak, but this one is oddly underappreciated. It's right back in line with the comics. Fantastic.
YES!!! I've been waiting for this reaction since the 1st movie!! It couldn't have come at a better time, as yesterday was my birthday and I went to see D&W for the third time🎉😊 LFG!!!
This episode of BLADE was one of Ryan Reynolds early movies before Ryan got more famous. Quite insightful your viewpoints on this sequel. Wesley felt the same way you did about this episode. & Wesley expressed it to the producers, directors & others. This was some of the cause behind the riff between Ryan & the producer.
And this is the movie that really kickstarted Ryan Reynolds journey in becoming Deadpool. As I’m sure a lot of people know, the executive of this movie gave Ryan a whole bunch of Deadpool comics. I believe he even said there would be only one person to play Deadpool in live action and it’s Ryan Reynolds. He was correct.
this is a prime example of why a good director is important, david goyer is a hell of a writer who wrote the first two blade movies as well but him as a director? terrible....also taking the starring role from one of the only black superheroes and trying to make a nightstalker pilot in blade 3 was a bad call.....i dont blame snipes for acting the way he did...the tone is off, it all looks stilted
Agreed. Snipes had legit beef with Goyer over the direction of this film and rightfully so. Just glad the so called beef between Snipes and Reynolds was complete and utter BS and the two of them got to work together again in Deadpool 3.
Nah, i like Snipes too but he was straight up a egomaniac for that one. The Nightstalkers literally exist in the Comics and Blade worked with them on several occasions. So having them in a Blade Movie was not at all out of place. Snipes just seemed on his "i want it all to be about just me" trip.
@LeeBrown-c3h That Reasoning is stupid. You can very well make a Movie with the title Character and have him share the Screen with others, it has been done before and after. Captain America Civil War literally had the entire Avengers line up safe for 2 people, and nobody cried that it wasn't all about Captain America. Chris Evans didn't went on to cry about having to share the spotlight. You didn't see Robert Downey cry because he had to share screentime with Don Cheadle in Iron Man 2 and 3. You didn't see Chris Hemsworth cry about Loki having almost a bigger Fanbase than Thor, in the Movies Named "Thor". I also don't know what you're smoking, but Wesley Snipes sure as hell ain't the reason Marvel didn't go bankrupt. Also, lower Screentime, seriously? He was on Screen for about 90% of that Movie. You wanna cry about that? You'd rather watch a Movie about Blade hiring Blade to find Blade so he can merge with Blade to be whole again to ultimately defeat Blade once and for all? No need to answer, of course you would.
I really enjoyed this film. I did watch it not when it came out, but a few years later (due to age at the time). I think it is hard to watch this for the first time now because so many of the actors in this went BIG. I remember being so excited by the cast of this, many were just emerging at the time and hadn’t done roles like this. Some I hadn’t seen before and all the ones I loved in this went on to great stuff! The driver that you were trying to remember is one of my favourite actors Christopher Heyerdahl. He is so talented and multi-faceted and I feel like the only reason he is not a mega star is choice. He has done a tonne of work in the sci-fi universe (particularly ones developed in Cananda) which is where I discovered him (but has worked in tonnes of other genres). 90’s and 2000’s included recurring roles in Supernatural, Stargate series, Twilight, Smallville, True Blood. He was also in Them, The Peacemaker and Hell on Wheels. Honestly, he is so good. I have watched things because I heard he was in them. He seems to choose characters he finds interesting and sometimes chooses projects because he wants to work with certain people again. Ryan Reynolds character felt like the next step up to me from Norman Reedus’ character Scud in Blade 2. He was that quippy, young, comedic feels. For Ryan though, his bigger roles before this were Van Wilder and Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place - he was well known for other things, but I think it would be hard now to not relate it to Deadpool. Jessica Biel I remember being so excited to see her in this. Prior to this she was most well known for 7th Heaven and Texas Chainsaw Massacre so this was a very new type of character for her at that time it was a break into this arena which was hard then. She was incredible! Natascha was pretty well known as this was post American Pie and Scary Movie 2. She had done some more serious, but not as well known stuff so this might have been a very new realm for her. She was amazing with what she was given too. I love Patton Oswalt, at the time he was not well known at all and definitely not for this type of role. Sorry, I wrote an essay hahaha
37:53 Supposedly Wesley Snipes didn't like the overly comedic tone of the movie because of Ryan Reynolds' performance. So much so that he stopped speaking to the director half way thru filming. They communicated thru post it notes. That's why Blade doesn't have a lot of screen time or dialog in this movie.
For Drake I would have liked them to pull a Chris Pratt on a beloved “hey, it’s that guy!” dramatic character actor in their 50-60’s, just get them super jacked.
Jessica's first shot with the arrow in the finale broke the camera. They tried to protect it with plexiglass on both sides of the lense and she shot it right in the middle.
There is a great OUTTAKE from the movie, when Jessica Biel had to shoot Dracula. She was told to aim directly at the camera with her bow. She hit it bull's eye and inadvertently destroyed a 300000 $ camera. Her reaction is priceless
Wesley Snipes was wildin w/ the hair piece in this one lol, but this movie is def peak 2000's culture/era. Rza on the soundtrack, prison break doing the slow montage against the hyper speed....Ryan Reynolds was w/ Alanis Morisette...Jessica Biel was dating Chris Evans. HHH was still on steroids and was just a regular wrestler, and it also somehow fit in Parker Posey, Natasha, Lyonne, and Patton Oswalt....it was like 2000's mtv/teen tv/movie heaven. 😆
Reynolds, like always, improvised a lot of his one-liners, and would give a lot of variety in his takes so writer-director David Goyer had plenty of choice. My favourite is an alternate version of his David Hasselhoff joke, where he instead cracks: "I'm more of a Celine Dion fan. She's a Canadian treasure." XD
There were all kinds of issues as far as Wesley falling out with Goyer and his disgruntled about being underpaid off the strength of the first two films in his opinion. There's a lot of details I'm missing but I heard too many different things. I feel the studio should have made it a night Stalkers film featuring blade. But I think they were worried that they would receive a less sizable budget if they don't instead make it a blade movie. I just know when it came out, I thought it was a whatever movie and was a little disappointed that Blade was so limited outside of some of the action scenes. Also, the main bad guy just didn't do it for me I didn't get enough vampire from him obviously he transformed into his monster form, but you just look like some weightlifting wrestler to me. He didn't have to look like Dracula or Nosferotu but he just didn't make me feel badass first vampire in his human form. He looked like he needed to be in a gladiator warrior film over a vampire one. The first two movies I liked the villains better even though there wasn't anything scary or tough about them. He just seemed one note to me.
You can really feel the movie studio trying to write out Blade and make the Bloodpack a thing. That way, they could have a rotating cast of vampire hunters comprised of cheaper and easily replaceable actors, rather than negotiating with stars
Wesley had it out with the Director over the bad storyline so I'm not mad at Wesley. They should of made sure everybody was on board with the story. The cast was alright and I really liked Dominic Purcell as Dracula, but the story was messed up and kinda short.
The stakes weren't as high and the OG vampire should've been a terrifying MONSTER. I still enjoyed the movie though. They actually showed the ORIGINAL comic issue that Blade appears in. The Tomb Of Dracula.
I saw this in theaters when it first released, and I initially hated it. Hated it for all the criticisms you guys have given, mostly because Blade was hiding it felt like. The movie felt so silly compared to Blade 1 and 2, which is saying something with how over the top Blade 2 was. It's grown on me with rewatches over the years, plus now knowing all the behind the scenes craziness that went on on the making of this movie, I appreciate it a little. There are so many unintentionally funny moments in Blade Trinity that I get a kick out of, like Parker Posey's over the top acting as a vampire, Drake coming off as completely non menacing as Dracula because Dominic Purcell is the nicest dude in the world, how Patton Oswald and the other dude were playing ball one minute then just lying in the floor dead after being killed unceremoniously off screen, Blade's anger squat when he was screaming about Whistler dying....again, Whistler dying again, I cracked up every time I watch that stuff. This movie is great, not as good as the first 2, but not awful either. I watch it with each rewatch of these movie's
Wesley Snipes didn’t get along with Ryan Reynolds on set.Wesley said in a recent report Entertainment Weekly that Snipes didn’t like Reynolds sense of humor at the time. Since then Snipes doesn’t mind Ryan’s sense at of humor because Reynolds made his sense of humor work for him becoming a big time Star in Hollywood.
I liked the premise the movie started with, have not a power hungry vampire, but just a smart, strategist who keeps finding ways to turn the humans against blade. So the more Blade tries to fight back against him, the worse things go for Blade. A villain that Blade can’t just confront with brute strength. Then by the end of the movie he’s convinced the human that has been hunting him and Blade has a new ally in law enforcement. -- Or if they want to continue with this story, the night stalkers is an excellent place Karen could have popped back at after being skipped over for 2. It shows her continuing in the fight and she’s with people that can protect her. Then it would have been more impactful for both of them when she was killed by Drake.
The actor that plays Drake is in tv series called prison break and tv series called legends of tomorrow and he was un a film called confidential informant co starring with Mel Gibson

@@MelaniePoparad Did you see Underworld already? Wentworth has a cameo in that one.
Did You watch him as Mick Rory? :)
SMOKIN' ACES!
Ryan was basically Deadpool in this
Wesley Snipes was sleep walking through the movie, he did not give an f
Probably knew it was only a matter of time before the Feds arrested him for tax evasion 😅
“Gimmie a Minute” 😂😂😂 im dieing
Kristen! That straight hair is gorgeous! Love
David S. Goyer wrote and directed this movie, which surprises me because he also wrote and directed Dark City--which, by its title alone tells you what vibe it is. Totally different movies.

Whistler: So anyway, so I started blastin'
As a lifelong fan of the Blade comics in the early 90's, I was awestruck with the first movie. Unlike most, I never understood the hype around #2, which was out of character and weak, but this one is oddly underappreciated. It's right back in line with the comics. Fantastic.
Blade in the original Tomb of Dracula comics was basically the original Shaft armed with wooden stakes.
YES!!! I've been waiting for this reaction since the 1st movie!! It couldn't have come at a better time, as yesterday was my birthday and I went to see D&W for the third time🎉😊 LFG!!!
This episode of BLADE was one of Ryan Reynolds early movies before Ryan got more famous.
Quite insightful your viewpoints on this sequel.
Wesley felt the same way you did about this episode.
& Wesley expressed it to the producers, directors & others.
This was some of the cause behind the riff between Ryan & the producer.
That big EMT is Paul Levesque aka HHH The Goat of Pro Wrestling. NXT BLACK & GOLD. NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT!
Might as well have named this movie "BladePool."
And this is the movie that really kickstarted Ryan Reynolds journey in becoming Deadpool. As I’m sure a lot of people know, the executive of this movie gave Ryan a whole bunch of Deadpool comics. I believe he even said there would be only one person to play Deadpool in live action and it’s Ryan Reynolds. He was correct.
“Warranty’s not gonna cover that.”🤣😂😁
Epic movie. Dope reaction yall.
The "Big man EMT" is WWE star Triple H!
this is a prime example of why a good director is important, david goyer is a hell of a writer who wrote the first two blade movies as well but him as a director? terrible....also taking the starring role from one of the only black superheroes and trying to make a nightstalker pilot in blade 3 was a bad call.....i dont blame snipes for acting the way he did...the tone is off, it all looks stilted
Agreed. Snipes had legit beef with Goyer over the direction of this film and rightfully so. Just glad the so called beef between Snipes and Reynolds was complete and utter BS and the two of them got to work together again in Deadpool 3.
Nah, i like Snipes too but he was straight up a egomaniac for that one.
The Nightstalkers literally exist in the Comics and Blade worked with them on several occasions. So having them in a Blade Movie was not at all out of place. Snipes just seemed on his "i want it all to be about just me" trip.
@LeeBrown-c3h
That Reasoning is stupid.
You can very well make a Movie with the title Character and have him share the Screen with others, it has been done before and after. Captain America Civil War literally had the entire Avengers line up safe for 2 people, and nobody cried that it wasn't all about Captain America. Chris Evans didn't went on to cry about having to share the spotlight.
You didn't see Robert Downey cry because he had to share screentime with Don Cheadle in Iron Man 2 and 3. You didn't see Chris Hemsworth cry about Loki having almost a bigger Fanbase than Thor, in the Movies Named "Thor".
I also don't know what you're smoking, but Wesley Snipes sure as hell ain't the reason Marvel didn't go bankrupt.
Also, lower Screentime, seriously? He was on Screen for about 90% of that Movie. You wanna cry about that?
You'd rather watch a Movie about Blade hiring Blade to find Blade so he can merge with Blade to be whole again to ultimately defeat Blade once and for all?
No need to answer, of course you would.
Vin Diesel would never play that he writes it into his contract that he never plays a villain and never loses. for every movie, he plays it.
Paul Levesque is still built like an ambulance.
Her fighting Style. 🥋💪🏻
Speaking of Marvel, watch Fantastic Four 1&2.

Just the first one worth watching
Uh! Skip the 2nd. Horrible interpretation of Galactus.
I really enjoyed this film. I did watch it not when it came out, but a few years later (due to age at the time). I think it is hard to watch this for the first time now because so many of the actors in this went BIG. I remember being so excited by the cast of this, many were just emerging at the time and hadn’t done roles like this. Some I hadn’t seen before and all the ones I loved in this went on to great stuff!
The driver that you were trying to remember is one of my favourite actors Christopher Heyerdahl. He is so talented and multi-faceted and I feel like the only reason he is not a mega star is choice. He has done a tonne of work in the sci-fi universe (particularly ones developed in Cananda) which is where I discovered him (but has worked in tonnes of other genres). 90’s and 2000’s included recurring roles in Supernatural, Stargate series, Twilight, Smallville, True Blood. He was also in Them, The Peacemaker and Hell on Wheels. Honestly, he is so good. I have watched things because I heard he was in them. He seems to choose characters he finds interesting and sometimes chooses projects because he wants to work with certain people again.
Ryan Reynolds character felt like the next step up to me from Norman Reedus’ character Scud in Blade 2. He was that quippy, young, comedic feels. For Ryan though, his bigger roles before this were Van Wilder and Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place - he was well known for other things, but I think it would be hard now to not relate it to Deadpool.
Jessica Biel I remember being so excited to see her in this. Prior to this she was most well known for 7th Heaven and Texas Chainsaw Massacre so this was a very new type of character for her at that time it was a break into this arena which was hard then. She was incredible!
Natascha was pretty well known as this was post American Pie and Scary Movie 2. She had done some more serious, but not as well known stuff so this might have been a very new realm for her. She was amazing with what she was given too.
I love Patton Oswalt, at the time he was not well known at all and definitely not for this type of role.
Sorry, I wrote an essay hahaha
37:53 Supposedly Wesley Snipes didn't like the overly comedic tone of the movie because of Ryan Reynolds' performance. So much so that he stopped speaking to the director half way thru filming. They communicated thru post it notes. That's why Blade doesn't have a lot of screen time or dialog in this movie.
I really thought Kristen was gonna comment on "it doesn't have to be deep to be fun" but I don't think she heard it fully xD
For Drake I would have liked them to pull a Chris Pratt on a beloved “hey, it’s that guy!” dramatic character actor in their 50-60’s, just get them super jacked.
I like that they used this ending instead of the bad cgi eyes ending.
Jessica's first shot with the arrow in the finale broke the camera. They tried to protect it with plexiglass on both sides of the lense and she shot it right in the middle.
There is a great OUTTAKE from the movie, when Jessica Biel had to shoot Dracula. She was told to aim directly at the camera with her bow. She hit it bull's eye and inadvertently destroyed a 300000 $ camera. Her reaction is priceless
Honestly I enjoy this movie.
Wesley Snipes was wildin w/ the hair piece in this one lol, but this movie is def peak 2000's culture/era. Rza on the soundtrack, prison break doing the slow montage against the hyper speed....Ryan Reynolds was w/ Alanis Morisette...Jessica Biel was dating Chris Evans. HHH was still on steroids and was just a regular wrestler, and it also somehow fit in Parker Posey, Natasha, Lyonne, and Patton Oswalt....it was like 2000's mtv/teen tv/movie heaven. 😆
Reynolds, like always, improvised a lot of his one-liners, and would give a lot of variety in his takes so writer-director David Goyer had plenty of choice. My favourite is an alternate version of his David Hasselhoff joke, where he instead cracks: "I'm more of a Celine Dion fan. She's a Canadian treasure." XD
Kristen is adorable.
The original plan was to spin-off Reynolds and Biel as the Nightstalkers, a pretty cool comic. But, cause it wasn't received well, it got scrapped...
There were all kinds of issues as far as Wesley falling out with Goyer and his disgruntled about being underpaid off the strength of the first two films in his opinion. There's a lot of details I'm missing but I heard too many different things. I feel the studio should have made it a night Stalkers film featuring blade. But I think they were worried that they would receive a less sizable budget if they don't instead make it a blade movie. I just know when it came out, I thought it was a whatever movie and was a little disappointed that Blade was so limited outside of some of the action scenes. Also, the main bad guy just didn't do it for me I didn't get enough vampire from him obviously he transformed into his monster form, but you just look like some weightlifting wrestler to me. He didn't have to look like Dracula or Nosferotu but he just didn't make me feel badass first vampire in his human form. He looked like he needed to be in a gladiator warrior film over a vampire one. The first two movies I liked the villains better even though there wasn't anything scary or tough about them. He just seemed one note to me.
"It didn't have a lot of stakes to it" I saw what you did there, Boose
This is the movie was had you believe we need a Deadpool movie.lol this movie had good character, just a lot of them shining
apparently during the filming of this film Wesley Snipes was impossible to work with.
I love this movie. 0 shame
I can't wait for you two to watch 'Deadpool & Wolverine'.
Y’all should watch X-men 97 great ShoW !
You can really feel the movie studio trying to write out Blade and make the Bloodpack a thing. That way, they could have a rotating cast of vampire hunters comprised of cheaper and easily replaceable actors, rather than negotiating with stars
Childhood movies
Only right to complete this trilogy
I always enjoyed seeing Triple H in this
Blade 3 is fun to watch
Wesley had it out with the Director over the bad storyline so I'm not mad at Wesley. They should of made sure everybody was on board with the story. The cast was alright and I really liked Dominic Purcell as Dracula, but the story was messed up and kinda short.
That's a good song though.... Day walker. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Blade looks like future hendrix' s twin brother
The stakes weren't as high and the OG vampire should've been a terrifying MONSTER. I still enjoyed the movie though. They actually showed the ORIGINAL comic issue that Blade appears in. The Tomb Of Dracula.
Kristen "I wish i was that cool". Darlin, to me, you're the coolest girl ive seen on the internet!
I saw this in theaters when it first released, and I initially hated it. Hated it for all the criticisms you guys have given, mostly because Blade was hiding it felt like. The movie felt so silly compared to Blade 1 and 2, which is saying something with how over the top Blade 2 was. It's grown on me with rewatches over the years, plus now knowing all the behind the scenes craziness that went on on the making of this movie, I appreciate it a little. There are so many unintentionally funny moments in Blade Trinity that I get a kick out of, like Parker Posey's over the top acting as a vampire, Drake coming off as completely non menacing as Dracula because Dominic Purcell is the nicest dude in the world, how Patton Oswald and the other dude were playing ball one minute then just lying in the floor dead after being killed unceremoniously off screen, Blade's anger squat when he was screaming about Whistler dying....again, Whistler dying again, I cracked up every time I watch that stuff. This movie is great, not as good as the first 2, but not awful either. I watch it with each rewatch of these movie's
lol ryan reynolds and parker posey ARE vampires. they never change from role to role. which is fine.
*Cool guys don't look at explosions!!*
😂😂😂😂
Wesley Snipes didn’t get along with Ryan Reynolds on set.Wesley said in a recent report Entertainment Weekly that Snipes didn’t like Reynolds sense of humor at the time. Since then Snipes doesn’t mind Ryan’s sense at of humor because Reynolds made his sense of humor work for him becoming a big time Star in Hollywood.
Well the issue is Blade's world is supposed to be dark and the humor feels out of place
Kirsten is getting cuter on each new video wow :)
I liked the premise the movie started with, have not a power hungry vampire, but just a smart, strategist who keeps finding ways to turn the humans against blade. So the more Blade tries to fight back against him, the worse things go for Blade. A villain that Blade can’t just confront with brute strength. Then by the end of the movie he’s convinced the human that has been hunting him and Blade has a new ally in law enforcement.
--
Or if they want to continue with this story, the night stalkers is an excellent place Karen could have popped back at after being skipped over for 2. It shows her continuing in the fight and she’s with people that can protect her. Then it would have been more impactful for both of them when she was killed by Drake.
Damn Kristen is awesome
KRSTENSTEPHENSONPINOOOOOOOOOO!!!!😱😱😱😱😱
The actor that plays Drake is in tv series called prison break and tv series called legends of tomorrow and he was un a film called confidential informant co starring with Mel Gibson
