Sorry, I have to say it. The film is pants.

What on earth were they thinking of - the first one was very good and the second one wasn't a bad runner up but this one dry.gif should have been left somewhere and forgotten. What a shame. What did you thik of it?
Dax
blade....hes the vampirte fighting geezer who is half vampire right?

I liked the first film and watched a bit of the second one I think, I think a sequal has to be very very good to watch it other wise it feels a rehash of the last

I love vampire films but some of them are truly naff biggrin.gif
Eckie
I enjoyed the first, was excited by the second and have heard bad things about the third. I've heard that Wesley Snipes is suing the studio........ something to do with choice of director and rewrites.

Yep, the half man/half vampire dude. I love vampire films too - even some really corny ones to be honest. laugh.gif We've got a quite a collection of Hammer Horror and Chinese Vampire films to prove that. laugh.gif

Really? I'm not surprised he feels that way but I didn't know they could do that. ohmy.gif What a dreadful film. The 'dialogue' was awful - I think Snipes get's to say one or two full sntances in the whole film, apart from that the only words he seemed to utter were swear words (sorry to sound prudish) which didn't really add to what was going on anyway.

Whoops, ranting again. laugh.gif

Oh dear. That's a half brick in the hyperdrive of my planned 'Blade' evening next Saturday. (popcorn, ale, all 3 films and the sword of the daywalker). Guess I'll have to watch Undead again...(preparing fro the zompocalypse of course)

Ogre
Igor
Sorry Ogre. unsure.gif

If you're watching all three in a row it may be a better experience - possibly. Love that sword - think I saw one in a weapons shop locally - don't know if it has the gadgety extras or if it's a static reproduction. Looks nice though. thumbup1.gif
Ogre
I found one on e-bay. Its let down badly by the handle which is some kind of casting. Although with a leather wrap it could be serviceable. The lack of any functioning sort of hilt means it would need heavy customisation to be of any use. When I get around to sharpening the blade I'll let you know how it holds an edge.

Princess Leia and myself did Kendo for some time. Sparring with swords is brilliant fun! We were fortunate to have known the curator for Japanese antiquities at the British Museum. He's one of the foremost sword specialists and he showed us some of their sword collections in the vaults at the BM. WOW doesn't describe the feeling. Amazing blades from the 14th and 16th century. They were absolutely beautiful and I've never seen anything like it since.
Eckie
I once saw a demonstration of mediaval (?) sword fighting techniques at a living museum near me. Those swords felt as if they weighed as much as a car door! God knows how those people managed to fight with them.
Ogre
Ah, re-enactment (fond sigh). I was a member of a group in the forces, where, for 20p, you the member of the public could come along and get a minute and a half of bashing away at one of us with the weapon of your choice. (Proceeds to Charity). I managed to break all my knuckles (sometimes more than once) plus my wrist sparring with other members of the group (never touched by the public tho...).

Still got my 4ft broadswords (totally unballanced beasts) and my double headed axe.

Happy days eh ! biggrin.gif

Ogre

Since moving back I can't find anyone to work with, so have to work out with my daughter using boken.
The Doctor
Sorry to hear that Igor - I saw them on Amazon I think.....

Sounds a bit like one too many Rocky films kind of scenario - After Rocky 57, it gets...ummm.........a little drab! tv_horror.gif
Dax
started to watch this the other night, but something happened and didnt get to see much of it (at a friends) and the dvd had to go back biggrin.gif

might wait for it to appear on sky biggrin.gif they all get there in the end wink.gif
Ogre
Never got my Blade night after all. mad.gif

My daughter went out. So She Who Must Be Obeyed got the Manchurian Candidate ? instead. I chilled out with Rankins 'Dance of the Voodoo Handbag'. thumbup1.gif

Ogre
Eckie
The Manchurian Candidate was not a bad film. Frank Sinatra was in the original 60s version I think.
Jethro
The only trouble with Blade Trinity was we all dialed in for Wesley, the coolest dude on the planet, doing his Blade thing. Not a bad movie in a sort of comatose inducing watching, not quite up to the standard of the first two... liked the dogs though.
Dorothy
Hi guys, I thought blade trilogy was from the adult comic series. So Wes poses his way throught the movie (trilogy), dialogue is for the American audience who film makers think need pulling by the nose to tell the story. The end result is I feel half and half, this one is more directed at the lack of dialogue ( the cartoon) with the splash cartoon effect in the fight scenes. with minimal dialogue because youve seen the other 2.

Dogs were brill, but to much poetic licence taken from humans beating up and surviving being beaten up by vamps.

Still Luke bros what abad guy. and the women, here's my kneck.
