Best blade.... Look, to tell you the truth, I didn't like the first Blade movie all that much. The second I started watching, but then something came up, and I never did get around to finishing it. Now, with the third film (and supposedly, the last) Blade, I must say that I ended up enjoying myself, despite my previous bad outlook on Blade. For one thing, in my opinion, I found the vampire's plan to have Blade framed as a murderer (which he is, since he kills humans too- yeah, yeah, they are in league with vampires, but still) by having him taped while he kills a human, as something that they should have done ages ago. I mean, if I was a vampire, and realized that Blade has been killing my kind quite so easily, why not have the human police hunt him down for us. Secondly, I was glad that this Blade included more "heroes" rather than just Blade, which I don't really like. Maybe it is the way Wesley Snipes portrays him, but I always found him to be the most boring hero ever. I mean, he has zero personality, and the only time I can tolerate him on screen is when he's fighting some vampire. Otherwise, any "talking" by him is a bore. Luckily, We have Abigail and Hannibal King to make the movie entertaining (at least to me.) I found Abigail to be passable as the warrior chick she's supposed to be. Although, I did have to suspend my disbelief quite a lot, when she seemingly took down dozens of vampires on her own. I mean, she's a regular human right? Vampires have super strenght right? Let's face it, she's a female, which makes her physically weaker than a man, and I highly doubt any female, no matter how martial artsy she is, can take a dozen guys. I mean, they could all just tackle jump her and take her down. Now, we have her fighting vampires who are way, way stronger than any man, and she's kicking butt like there is no tomorrow. Still, if you leave logic behind, she does look good while kicking vampire butt. Although, fighting with music blasting out of your earphones wouldn't make sense either. I mean, don't you want to be able to hear when someone is approaching from behind? Hannibal King was funny. Yeah, he was probably the best thing in the movie, because he at least had a personality. Watching Blade is like watching a doorknob act, while King, even if his jokes are corny somethings, is at least likeable. Once again, my gripe comes when he fights vampires. Sigh, I mean, he's fighting that huge dude (a wrestler I think) and he's holding his own. I mean, come on, the size of the guy alone means that even if he were a plain human, he would beat King to pulp. But no, he's a vampire to boot, and he still lost?? Frankly, I had no problem with the main villain, as I've seen many reviewers here do. For one thing, we are assuming he's Dracula. Yes, he is in a way, but think about it. You are complaining about this character based on our preconceived notions of what we think Dracula should be/act/behave. Well, the movie even makes fun of any preconception of Dracula, when he walks into that Dracula store. The final battle was ok. I can see why some people thought it was rather flimsy, but at least it was better than Blade 1's. No deus ex machina super serum to save the day, at least- I mean, so much for a god vampire. In conclusion, this might be the first Blade film I will actually buy to keep. Having rented the others, I never felt the want or need to see them again.
