The Nightstalkers were pretty cool. Ryan Reynolds is pretty funny and a badass. Jessica Biel didn't bother as much as I thought. But the rest of their "team" was utterly useless.

Blade is a classic genre film. Nothing can beat that opening rave with the blood shower. I thought Blade II was a bit of a letdown, the CG fiights were way too noticeable. But it was still entertaining.
Blade Trinity is on par with II, I thought, or below it. Easily the worst of the series.

I admit Goyer being a first time director probably adds to this, but he wrote all 3 movies. You'd think he would make this one really kickass.

Decent, nothing to rush out to the theater to see. Could have been a lot better.
I have to disagree, I thought this was more on par with the first movie. The action sequences were easily the best of the series. The Nightstalkers are awesome, and I could definitly see a spin-off movie based on them. Parker Posey is great as usual. There were a little too many cheesy one liners for my taste however. Also, they don't really get deeper into any of the characters except blade, and jessica biel. Which is a shame, because there are a lot of cool characters in the movie. Despite this it's still a reallly cool movie.
