Reynolds made Blade 3 a joke. Took the dark tone completely away.

Blade II is and always will be one of my favorite comic book movies ever.

"I never met Wesley Snipes, I only met Blade." -Ryan Reynolds

There were parts watching Blade 3 where you forgot Wesley Snipes was in it..he was a co-star in his own movie...😒

While shooting Blade:Trinity, it seems that Snipes was mad because he knew very well that they were filming a bad movie...and he was right and he was right to be mad!

SMH. Some Trilogies are always trying to ice skate uphill.

Because of Kris Kristopherson, the only one I can imagine playing Whistler in the reboot is Jeff Bridges.

So basically Snipes burnt himself doing Blade. Man, what a badass Black Panther he would have been

Blade 1 had one of the best opening scenes in movies.

I'd argue that a HUGE problem with Blade 3 was having Goyer write and direct it. In the Blade 2 DVD special features, Del Toro spoke about how there were some weird scenes that were in the script that he changed (i.e. an odd scene with Blade in a robe that was filmed). In the Blade 3 DVD, Goyer admitted that he likes directing because he could basically write anything and not have another person (director) change it.

A PG-13 Blade would be heresy.

Jackman will always be Wolverine, Evans will always be Captain America, Downey Jr will always be Iron Man... and Snipes will always be Blade!!

Snipes is the ultimate BLADE.. NUFF SAID

I would have loved to see a Blade 3 based on the original script where the vampires won the war.

You left out the real reason blade 3 sucked. The script was absolute garbage. It feels like you laid blame all on Wesley. But it all would not have mattered, his behavior, if the script worked.

Snipes will always be my Blade

The original post apocalyptic idea would've been so much better ..

He IS the only guy that can play Blade.

Dracula throws a baby on the rooftop to distract blade, in order for him to escape. The supreme vamp Drac was never threatening, and lacked charisma, trying to make him a cool dressing hippie Just didn't work. Blade 3 isn't rewatchable like 2. Luke Goss owned that roll. Reinforcing that a movie is only as good as its villain.

Blade Trinity was so horribly cringy it hurt just to watch it.

Blade trinity. I think blade is good with just Whistler he doesn't need any other hero sidekicks. Keep it that way!

They did my man, Snipes, dirty.

They should have stuck with the original idea of Blade in the post apocalyptic setting, that sounds awesome

Snipes,Kristofferson and Reynolds are the only reason to watch Blade Trinity. Blade 3 should of focused on Blade and been more violent and darker toned. This felt like a spinoff that happened to have Blade in it.

I can't blame Snipes for choking the shit out of that hack, Goyer! That lil punk sabotaged a once great franchise .

Blade 1,2 were heavy.....blade 3 was abysmal.! Dracula was a crime....Reynolds was annoying as hell

Yeah, that’s what I want: a PG Blade to along with with a PG Deadpool. I hate Disney.

Yea I've spent years trying to figure out why the movie felt so cheap. It really did feel like a tv movie.

Blade and Blade 2 - two of the best action/urban fantasy movies ever made.

Agreed, Snipes is Blade for me as well.... Ron Pearlman is Hellboy as well...

And in blade 3 with Ryan Reynolds Isn't playing DEADPOOL but yeah It's DEADPOOL..

When The IRS got him to court, Wesley arrived with an estimated amount that he owed to the IRS. On that same day, The IRS returned the difference from the actual amount, Wesley owed (he overpaid). After The IRS was somewhat satisfied in paying what he owed, the Judge still sent him to prison for "failure to file". This is a missing, but important detail when it's reported about his tax evasion.

Blade was such a good movie. So hyped for the sequels. If it hadn't gone to shits, we might not have had to tolerate the Underworld series of vampire movies.

The biggest problem is that Blade wasn't the main character of his own film I still like this move but it's definitely the weakest in the series

Ryan Reynolds, on his time during the production: "I never met Wesley Snipes. I only met Blade."

When talking director/actor teamups, people don't mention Del Toro and Pearlman. But they're a fun pair.

David Goyer's Filmography - Da Vinci's Demons (TV Series) (2 episodes) (2013) - Flashforward (TV Series) (2 episodes) (2009) -The Unborn (2009) -The Invisible (2007) - Threshold (TV Series) (1 episode) - Trees Made of Glass: Part 1 (2005) - Blade: Trinity (2004) - Zig Zag( 2002)

The first Blade had such kinetic energy, it kind of brought that matrix like style before the matrix. This movie holds up exceptionally well. Hot soundtrack too. Wesley is perfect for the role.

The only thing I didn't like about Trinity was the Villain was dispatched way too easily. He was supposed to be the ultimate bad guy for blade, but pretty much got his bit kicked the whole 30 sec fight. -- And coming from blade 2s amazing villains, Trinity just felt underdeveloped.

Blade: Trinity saved my life. 2009 I was going through a divorce drinking myself to death every day. I was very close to taking my own life! It was until a friend introduced me to Deadpool. Which I previously seen Ryan in X-men Origins Wolverine as Wade Wilson. But we won’t get into that version of the character. So I began to read some Deadpool comics while I watched Blade: Trinity because Reynolds was in it. The character of Hannibal King was the best part of the movie. I’ve always been a fan of Reynolds and his personality so I combined his and Deadpool’s personality into my own to make a change in my life. Now I use sarcasm for all my insecurities! So I love this movie! Yes it’s terrible, but fun. Also fun fact Blade: Trinity got Reynolds as Deadpool another reason to appreciate it regardless of the drama that happen behind the scenes.

OG Blade was one of the first DVD's I ever saw. Looked wonderful.

Recently watched BLADE 2. Forgot how awesome it was!! And THIS WAS before the MCU was REALLY EVEN BORN!! With the exception of whistler coming back to life, which was so lame!! My god, what a great cast!! DARYL FROM WALKING DEAD, IP MAN, DOM TORETO'S BEST FRIEND, HELLBOY.... THIS FILM IS SO SO UNDERRATED!!

A generic prettyboy hunk as Dracula was a horrible decision

Blade 3 was a directorial disaster and the story was so very substandard. I reckon Snipes should have directed it himself!

PG-13 Blade ...ok imma head out...

Have only seen 1&2 Blade movies & loved both. Really really really hoping for Blade being in the next Dr Strange movie.

Great video. Amazing channel. Loving all the back stories from each video. Well done. Cheers.

These are really well done videos man - the editing must take you freakin HOURS. Nice work.

I liked all three. The first will always be my favorite, though. Everything about it was spot-on.

I am on Wesley's side here. The final product itself should validate every issue he raised if not justify his douchebaggery on set. It was Goyer who should have been fired. Aside from the messy direction, the script he came up with is just utter crap! I can't believe this is the same guy got the story credits for the dark knight. I guess as long as he does not write the actual screenplay or direct its all good. Anyway the script is just shit! 1. The title is shit and nonsensical. The word "trinity" does not make much sense really 2. Why did blade need added sidekicks? He is basically a lone wolf hunter. That is what adds to the appeal of the Character. Whistler was the only sidekick he needed. 3. There is a scene where a blind woman watches over the surveillance cameras! Yes A FUCKING BLIND WOMAN. 4. The villain.... Oh where do I even fucking begin with this uncharismatic villain. For someone as Iconic as Dracula why cast an uncharismatic and totally subpar actor to play him? They should have just opted to maybe not have new sidekicks for blade and hire a better actor to play such an iconic villain. His characterization is even a lot shittier. He talks about fighting with honor and yet takes a baby for a hostage. Seriously? I just hated that part where Blade had to chase him. WTF? He is supposed to be Blade's most difficult challenge and he runs away from him like a bitch? IMO I do not blame Snipes acting the way he did on and off set. You can't say thought that he was the reason why this movie failed.

I say the "ice skating uphill" thing contextually every so often, almost always gets a laugh.

Funniest thing this film is that most of the shots where you see blade from behind or from far away are not Snipes but are his stunt double. Apparently Snipes would only come out of his trailer to film close ups and dialogue.

Blade is one of those times where actually reading the comics beforehand might have helped it go down easier. I really enjoyed the first movie, but 2 & 3 with the weird Predator-faced vampires was really off-putting to me. It was as if some special effects company wanted to get the most out of that animation before moving on to something else. I recall it being in other movies/franchises as well.

Hannibal King's beard was my favorite part. Coolest beard sculpt ever. And then his physical transformation into 1 of the leanest, best looking physique ever as well.

I liked Trinity. All 3 movies are different. First was more gothic, 2nd more horror and 3rd was more comedic. Great trilogy overall.

Blade 1-2 fight choreography blew me away more than anything in MCU except for fights in Winter Soldier. Ali has a lot of work to do.

PG13? LOL, so it's gonna be awful. Nice, not surprising.

I loved Blade 2 when I first saw it, felt almost a kin to ALIENS, at least to me it did. I've loved all of Guilmero Del Toro's movies since...maybe not Pacific Rim as much, but it's still a good movie that I think achieved what it wanted to.

I love these videos. The narration, editing ans and soundtrack. I would pay you good money to make Lore videos in this way. Ambient dark slow music explaining the lore of Alien, Starcraft, Fallout, Bladerunner etc.

First one was great, second one was not too bad but the third one was like huh? Tho I will say this. I dont know why Hollywood keeps jacking off at the concept that Black Panther was the very first black superhero when all this time we had the most badass who happens to be called BLADE!

It's good Dominic Purcell's career didn't end because of Blade Trinity, cause then he found his way to Prison Break

Snipes is BLADE PERIOD!😇😎

I had no idea about this movie. Great vid.

I had no idea that they were making a new version. I was blown away by the first 2 blade movies.

WOW, BLADE in an I AM LEGEND scenario film would have been AMAZING!!!!!

Did anyone else love Spawn?

i read the director banned Snipes from the post production room when he had been involved with producing in blade 1&2.

They did snipes dirty in blade 3. People didn't want to see the nightstalkers they wanted to see blade do his thing one more time. With the nightstalkers playing second fiddle. I wish they could have made a good last movie would have been one if the best trilogies of all time.

That dude is so not for the role of Blade.. but that's just me.

Really liked the first two, Wesley gave his best. Although when I watching Trinity I fell asleep. Ali really seems to be a great pick for a new Blade. Loved his perfomance in Luke Cage, can't wait to see his Blade. I just hope that they won't fuck up everything else in that movie.

Keep up the great work. This series is why I sub!

I have never heard of "Death Machine" the movie - that was the random name I put on my wifi for a while. LOL

You know what they should cast Norman Reedus as John Connor lol he kinda looks like Edward Furlong.

Hell no! Snipes is the ONLY Blade. Ali is an awesome actor, yes - no doubt (respect for his work on House Of Cards) - but saying he's got big shoes to fill is overstating the obvious and, at the same time, absurd, seeing as Snipes is the king. Not to cast Snipes was a mistake.

Been waiting for this for ages !!! Finally !!!

People always gotta blame the weed man. Also I don't know much about the blade comics. But Wesley will always be blade.

The Blade TV series was surprisingly entertaining.

The only thing I didn't like about Trinity was how they used Dracula, other than that, I enjoyed it.

I think only Wesley Snipes can fill the role as Blade. Because Snipes embodied Blade so well, and he comes of as legitimate and a stoic badass. Others just come off as either weak and mellow, or just trying too hard to be something they not.

“We Finally Came Up With Our Team Name, But The “Care Bears“ Was Already Taken.”-Deadpool

Michael Jai White should play Blade. and that would be an instant hit.

I blame Goyer for the tragedy of Blade 3 and Snipes had every right to be upset with him for the direction that movie went. I still love the Blade trilogy but honestly only the first 2 are worth watching.

15:03 Who wants to show up to work when it’s not necessary 😂😂😂

I love how it said “Matt Herschel Ollie” instead of Mahershala Ali.

Blade 3 sucked. The 1st one was the best one.

Subverting expectations is lame and never works well.

Blade Trilogy will always be immortalized like Back to the Future, LOTR, Infernal Affairs, TDK, Indiana Jones, Star Wars etc.

So who’s here that MCU Blade is gonna have Wesley Snipes as Dracula? I am.

BLADE IN PG13 INSTEAD OF AN "R" RATING ?! I KNEW DISNEY WOULDN'T GO HARD CORE. WHAT NOW, DEADPOOL IN A "G" RATED MOVIE ?! ARE THEY EVER DO "THE PUNISHER" ?!

Wesley is Blade see what happened to Hell Boy and also its a R rated movie

BLADE 3 looked like a tv movie because of the CHEAPER cameras & film they used to save money

I had this on bootleg tape I remember first seeing this and being blown away I would watch it before I went to school every morning

It sounds like Wesley just decided to play the "movie star" role in the the third Blade movie.

The real question is WTF happened to the sound halfway through??

I would've liked to see a blade/underworld crossover. Imagine blade having to team up with Selena (awkward) & then killing off a bunch of vampires together (beautiful).

they tried rebooting hellboy with another character but Ron Perlman is Hellboy. Wesley Snipes is Blade . RDJ is Tony Stark etc

Dude, you gotta get better on the mic. It's really hard to understand what you're saying when your voice trails off

@14:53 don't know why but it made me laugh

And I think everybody knew that Blade wasn’t gonna die

Now, we just have to hope nobody in China makes a vampire joke.
