but how is it that sexy Jessica is able to kick vampire ass, she's just a human? Never understood that, lol.
It was her uber weapons and martial arts skill I guess. Hehe.. The other thing I didn't like about Blade 3 was Blade taking a back seat and becoming no more important than Ryan Reynolds or Jessica Biel's character.

I tend to like Ron Perlman, but I couldn't stand his character in the one Blade film he was in.

Where all the Vampires in the world failed with the Daywalker, the IRS ultimately succeeded. Avoided Death but did not evade Taxes.
No fancy silver nitrate bullets, boomerangs, and fist mounted blood coagulant dispensers. They just sent some balding guy wearing glasses, a non-descript grey suit and tie...and armed with a calculator.
Don't screw with the taxman. LOL
LMAO Harry! However you could say that the IRS is similar to the vampire underworld in that both institutions consist of bloodsuckers.

My favorite Blade was the first one then the 2nd and third in that order. When I saw the first one, I went into it with very low expectations. ANOTHER vampire movie?!? C'mon. But with that first opening scene, and the exploration into an alternative vampire culture and corporation and so on...as Roger Ebert put it, it was the year's most underrated movie.

Actually for me, Blade 3 was the stinker and that also seemed to be the consenus of film critics and fans. Ryan Reynolds' attempt at humor and comic relief fell completely flat on its face. Jessica Biel was nice to look at but her character was bland and forgettable. The overall story was ok but the film in general was just a let down for me and it was far inferior to the first two Blade movies. I think the original one was the best though overall since it had the most compelling villain in Deacon Frost which was played wonderfully by Stephen Dorff. Bingo. One and two were good.

Wesley had some good roles. Remember his role in Jungle Fever ?
I never saw "Jungle Fever" but I think the first time I ever saw Wesley Snipes was in "Demolition Man".

His best role ever was in New Jack City. He was someone who you loved to hate. I have always felt the test of an actor/actresses skill was being able to play a bad guy that you really despise.
I think New Jack City really showed his potential, but I also think he just took a really bad career path. Although he has made more money than I will ever in my lifetime.
