Extremely disappointing and entertaining for all the wrong reasons. Sure I was expecting a simple story line – From the baddies side this turned out to be the bringing back of the first and original Dracula, now called Drake, to kill Blade and also to get Drake’s DNA (which is superior because he can walk during the day) so they can take over human kind. From the goodies side this turned out to be a plan to destroy all known vampires by using the old biological weapon.

I was hoping for slick story-telling and some uber cool fight scenes. Instead I found a movie which was so corny and mixed up it was laughable. I could have overlooked this if the acting had been at least believable or the fight scenes incredible. Unfortunately no relief there. Wesley Snipes was oh so disappointing as Blade – sure he probably wouldn’t win any Oscars in the near future but this has to be one of his worst performances ever. It was a very wooden performance and probably not helped by some very bad lines, when he had any. Parker Posey as the head vamp was annoying and her sidekicks just cringeable. The vamp shitzu was scarier (yes, they have stooped to that.) Fight scenes were underwhelming with no original choreography.

The two highlights were the newcomers to the movie – Jessica Biel (the hottie) playing Whistler’s daughter and Ryan Reynolds as Hannibal King – comedic relief. One thing is for sure, Ryan sure buffed up nice for this movie.

And the “Blatant Product Placement” award goes to ? drum roll please .. Blade Trinity. Twice, not once, Jessica Biel’s character hooks up with the Apple I-pod. “She likes to listen to music before [kicking ass].” Sheesh.
