Blade: Trinity

Uhm, I don't think so. As far as I remember, they did treat him badly, but he survived and watched as Blade and that damsel (who was the evil genius' daughter) watched the sun rise (which was how she died).

Of course vampires suck....that's sorta the point :d

On the last, that one is easy. Mahgra (wasn't it another name though) created the original vampires, ya know, the ones of true blood. They carried the virus as Mahrga made them like that. Biting and infecting normal god-made men infects them with that virus, making them vampires as well (assuming they don't die). Of course, with the great temple destroyed in the first blade, the role of Mahgra sorta dissapeared.

An alternative view is that Blade starts of based on superstition ("there is a god") but through science discovers at least part of the real truth ("there is a virus"). Have it either way.

No no. I'm talking about the "stand on this magic square and then have your skeleton come ripping out of your body as a screaming nightmare of winged bone and teeth and then merge with Deacon Frost to become an uber-vampire nightmare of blood and ick".

In the first movie, vampirism was DEFINITELY more than genetic.

True, but with science, them vampires started messing around with Creation. Really a good parabel for contemporary times I'd say

And then in Trinity, all vampires originated from Drake instead.

Second, the vampires SUCK. Blade SUCKS. They are all super wusses compared to the first movie... until the very end when Blade fights Vlad... and THEN all of a sudden they're badasses.

And what's with any human being able to take on a vampire in hand-to-hand? In the first movie, no human would have had a chance. But now Jessica Biel can take them on one after another? The should be knocking her across the room, and moving faster than she can see. Sigh.

EXACTLY!

And the vampires resort to fistfights against Ryan Reynolds. They keep beating him up, but never actually killing him. Then when one DOES try to kill him, it takes FOREVER.

Essentially the movie sucked. Even moreso than "The Matrix", one needs to pretend that the Blade franchise consisted of only one movie.

Much as there is only one Matrix movie and four Star Wars movies (taking into account that the latest probably doesn't suck by early reports).

It could be said that this latest Blade movie took more away than it added to the saga, but then, Snipes isn't as in demand these days as he once was; readily apparent in his wholly lackluster performance (as in, this is just another easy movie for him, so he's not even trying).

Actually there are 4 Matrix movies: three live action movies (The Matriox, Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions) and the Animatrix anime DVD.

Also: there soon will be 6 Star Wars movies in all....not counting the TV specials most of us would rather forget anyhow.

Hehe, hard to tell if that's sarcasam or you missed Jesterzwild point completely.

Oh, and I've got the Star Wars "Holiday special" on my HD... it's great!

[Dr Mordrid]

In your opinion maybe

I was definitely being sarcastic, but I did forget about the Animatrix, which wasn't too bad all in all.

If we wanted to get technical there are also two more Star Wars movies, Caravan of Courage and Battle for Endor, but those are better left forgotten along with all those horrid television specials and cartoons (with the exception of the more recent Clone Wars).

Yeah well, I could not have known as I've not seen that one yet...

Aren't Jessica and Ryan ex-vampires BTW?

Actually he's SUING the movie company (Sony Pictures?) for ... what essentially amounts to "making a shitty film".

Ryan is. Jessica is Whistler's illegitimate daughter.

But there's no evidence that being an ex-vampire makes you tough - Ryan's character pretty much spends the movie getting beaten up, and Whistler (who was cured of vampirism at the beginning of Blade 2) still limps (you'd think his stint as a vampire would have fixed THAT, at least) and gets killed EASY.

They did say in the first one that injuries sustained before being turned don't heal.

Just before Blade comes into Frost's building on his motor bike the female lead notices the scar on Frost's head, therefore him not being a pure blood.

[ZokesPro]

Jessica Biel is not sexy at all!!! She even let herself go.
