Wow, I keep wondering what this Mantis guy said. It must have been pretty bad for Vic to remove it.

I liked both Blade and Blade 2, and I have to agree that the first one was more horror than the 2nd, and the 2nd more action. The 3rd was Ok, at best. I’m still trying to figure out how a guy that went to sleep for, what, a thousand years, can speak English.

There was about as much horror in the “Blade” movie as there was in “Billy the Kid vs Dracula”.

Trinity was crap, only good thing was Hannibal King. he was hillarious

These articles are a fun read.

My only “gripe” about this particular one is, I have a bit of trouble thinking of “Blade” as ‘horror’ in any way.

It just seemed like a straightforward martial arts / action film disguised as a vampire movie. I don’t really see the ‘horror’ elements.

Wouldn’t there need to be some part of the film that is intended to be frightening or scary for it to be considered ‘horror’?

The TV show had potential but crashed. And Reynolds vs. Posey was my favorite part of Trinity. That and Blade absolutely hating Reynold’s mouthing off, and Reynolds continuing to do it anyway. It would’ve been cooler if he were Deadpool though, instead of Hannibal King.

“Blade” was awesome, but I would prefer the second over the first.

Mantis your what 29 and you’ve finally lost your virginity, supposedly to a girl I guess?

Then you head over to a “Blade” Halloween post and tell us were losers?
^
Lol, I think we just witnessed a rare form of post virgin traumatic nerd denial hysteria. Ie: (PVTNDH)

I can only imagine the horror his Star Wars action figures are going through today.
I’ve read that this phenomenon strikes 2 out of every 10 nerds. Sad,,,

Ross, ditto on the “blood rave” scene.

Stephie, I found the Trinity soundtrack a bit watered down considering what was used on the first two. Blade in particular had some pretty brave choices througout: I never thought in a million years I’d hear The Aphex Twin, Source Direct and Photek on a mainstream movie like that.

“Blade” is the best of the trilogy.

“Blade II” was slightly predictable. How did they not extpect you to know that they were realted? They look exactly alike.

“Blade III” is redeemed based solely on the scenes that involve Parker Posey with Ryan Reynolds. Beyond absurd to the point of hilarity.

So…I was also having sex with Mantis’s girlfriend(while watching Blade!) and I can’t help but agree that Trinity was not as bad as people make it out to be. That being said, I also thought Daredevil had some good moments(though horribly miscast) and Ghost Rider is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.

P.S. Vic Holtreman is the man.

@ Mantis,

I don’t get it. You’re trolling because you don’t like editorial/feature type stories? You just want straight up news, no opinion, nothing original?

You read the post, and instead of joining in on the discussion about what the article is about… you make an effort to launch an insult?

You could have just not read this post… the intro explains it as a series of features about horror films leading up to Halloween. Better yet, since you do read our site, if you didn’t like the post… why not just move on to another with no comment? What is your goal in being so immature with comments like that?

Please explain if you’re still around. I really don’t get why you think its better to be a troll behind your monitor…

LOL WTF Mantis.

———————————————————————–

Blade is the better movie out of the trilogy. Blade 2 had better fight scenes but was not an overall better movie than the first. Blade Trinity was well lets just say everyone gets one failure in their life. Yes it is watchable but David S. Goyer should not have directed it that way he could have focused more on the writing of it. It will be interesting to see the Blade reboot. Personally if snipes does not return they need to get Michael jai White PERIOD.

Blade was definitely the best of the 3 .
And my favorite scene was also the poor guy in the vampire nightclub.
Good Film.

my fave is the 2nd and 3rd ones, the 1st had bad animations and cheesy actions scenes (this is coming from an action fan), the second would have been more of a “scary” action movie as some of the scenes where creepy at times (especially the mouths:-) ) the third would have been more of a fashion show of clothing weapons and fighting skills but overall it was a good movie, (drake was kick ass !!!)

Johnny-K of Norway I detest the vampire genre overall anyway, if I’m not part of the “Blade” fraternity that’s a burden I can live with,,,

I actually would pick the 2nd over the 1st probably anyday.
I just like its ‘feel’ very much.

first one comes in second, closely followed by the third. They both have there good and bad sides.
