October Horror Challenge 2023 #80: "Blade: Trinity"

I liked this movie quite a bit when i first saw it. That was back in 2005 when it first came out on DVD I watched it with some friends and we all enjoyed it (of course we did; comic book movie about hunting vampires, what's not to like?) This movie has some major star power in it. Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel are both in it. This was before they became big stars, but it's still really cool to see them in this movie. Back when it was released Wesley Snipes was the bigger star in this movie. For some reason, people seemed to hate on this movie a lot (which shouldn't surprise me, since I usually like movies that everyone hates) but I couldn't see back then why people didn't like this movie. Maybe watching it again will enlighten me. Let's see what happens.

So in this sequel, Blade is still being his usual broody badass self, hunting and killing vampires. Unfortunately for him, the vampires are sick of his heroics and they decide to wage a media campaign to turn the human population against him. They set him up to make him look like the bad guy, and this both alerts the public of his existence and turns them against him, neither of which are good for his mission. We also see some new faces in this movie, like I mentioned before, Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds are in this movie playing rogue vampire hunters who must team up with Blade in order to defeat the biggest vampire foe they've ever faced: none other than Count Dracula. Will the trio of vampires be able to thwart his evil plan, or will he be able to destroy the world?

Jessica Biel is a badass in this movie. She plays Abbigail Whistler, Blade's beloved friend Whistler's daughter, who is also an accomplished vampire hunter herself. Ryan Reynolds plays Hannibal King, another rogue vampire hunter who must work with Blade and Abbigail to fight the vampires. Of course, Blade isn't happy about working with anyone else to fight the vampires. He likes to work alone, but in this movie, he needs all the help he can get, since the vampires are working with the humans to try and take him down now (and doing a pretty good job of it, I must say). Once Blade is finally resigned to working with the team, things go more smoothly, until the vampires begin to execute their plan. I must say, hearing Ryan Reynolds call someone a "cock juggling thunder cunt" is worth the price of admission. I still don't know why so many people don't like this movie, I for one loved every minute of it.
