We were watching Blade Trinity (thanks to the creative colective knowedge of 8 sys admin on a quest to avoid firewalls and loose pirating laws in forgein country's). All in all gotta give it a C.

The film was too busy. Too many characters, no real development, the entire plotline was sub-par, and the action wasn't that great. Add on Snipes *blah* acting and it really brought up the "cashing in on the franchise" thinking. Reynods was pretty funny (probibly the only reason it's getting a C) but after a time it started getting old. The rest of the actors were just kinda there.


On a "non-review" level I was really impressed with Ryan Reynolds physique

I was a little dissapointed they didn't show off Jessica Biel a little more...she has certain assets that makes the films a little easier to watch But whatcha gonna do?!

Vampire movies can be fun, and the first 2 Blades were ok. I was actually considering seeing this one for fun (and J.Biel) but I'll likely wait for DVD now.

I'm waiting on my next actress to audition... glad they can't see this! (So... Mr. Director, you see movies for the large breasts, huh?)

The only way I managed to get through Texas Chainsaw Masacre was by checking out Jessica Biel's "assets". [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I'm with you Gobbla... C-. Maybe even a D, but Reynolds at least added some humor to an otherwise dull script. Can't say I didn't envy his physique either.

I enjoyed Trinity, perhaps I went in expecting less than you guys did.

I didn't expect a scary movie.
I didn't expect a great movie.

I expected an action movie with some vampires etc.

I figure I got what I paid for. Reynolds did look pretty impressive.
