Movie review - Blade: Trinity

Blade: Trinity

Director: David S. Goyer

Writers: David S. Goyer, Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan

Actors: Wesley Snipes, Kris Kristofferson, Ryan Reynolds, Jessica Biel, Dominic Purcell, Parker Posey and Paul Levesque

My guess: 6,3? - 2006? (5,8 - 2004)

My Points: 7,2 - 3½/5

Well, this was a little bit better - than the second movie. But the first one will - probably, always be the best. I mean, if there is a "Blade 4" coming. I haven't heard any rumors, but it still may be possible.

There were some good actors in this movie. Or do I mean 'good'?! It was nice to see Paul "Triple 'Jarko Grimwood' H" Levesque in movies. Sadly, he didn't get much "Hollywood success" - 'cause I like him.

Then there of course were the good guys/girls; Ryan "Hannibal King" Reynolds and Jessica "Abigail Whistler" Biel. They were both great, together. 

Then there were the bad guys; Dominic "Drake" Purcell was nice, and so was Parker "Danica Talos" Posey. "Triple H" I already mentioned.

Then there were they're "vampire" dogs, they were funny.

The action? It were pretty nice, CGI effects were way too better - than the previous one (expecially comparing to the first movie...)!

It was nice, when Blade did "the K.I.T.T. of the truck". I'm referring to the Knight Rider (1982–1986).

I'm was pretty lame, how the bad guys did the "stage Blade as guilty to kill a human". So someone just agreed to be killed?! And how did they know where to film it? Because before that (stage), there was a long car chase. The camera-man/girl just magically waited at the right spot, yea right...

And Whistler died yet again, and pretty damn easily...

And the S.W.A.T., there were like 20-30 cops - and nobody didn't hit anything?! And they attacked by hand to hand combat, although they had machine guns, okay?!

The cops didn't know diddly-squat about vampires, okay?! There's like a half a dozen (thousands) of them, killing people - and cops don't know nothing about them...

And they didn't even research Blade, the first vampire they see - stupid!

"Hannibal King" was funny, good jokes all the time. Definately material to "Deadpool" character.

Blade yelling "use it, use it...", it was nice!

The end action scene were pretty nice. Not the best, but not the worst.

A good movie, overall!

So, there we had the Blade trilogy. First one was the best, then came this (Trinity...)! Hopefully there is a fourth one coming, it would (hopefully?) be nice. But it would be nothing without Wesley Snipes, he's the "essance". He is just getting pretty old, but...

Time will tell, I'm eagerly waiting...

Movie review - Blade II

Blade II

Director: Guillermo del Toro

Writers: Marv Wolfman, Gene Colan and David S. Goyer

Actors: Wesley Snipes, Kris Kristofferson, Ron Perlman and Norman Reedus

My guess: 6,6? - 2003? (6,7 - 2002)

My Points: 7,1 - 3½/5

Well, this was a pretty good movie - you might say a decent one...

CGI effects were much better than in the first one. Ofcourse, 'cause this is a newer movie. But they still kinda sucked, compared to now'a'days effects.

Norman "Scud" Reedus was a nice addition, I like him. But he smoked too much cigarette. And it always was a "new" cigarette, it never was already smoked (like in the half way). Not that stupid, but... it caught my eye.

It was nice go get Kris "Whistler" Kristofferson back. If I remember correctly, he's also in the third movie. But he died "stupidly" in that one, if my memory works.

The "sword fight" was nice. Until they f*cked it up with very - VERY, bad CGI. It looked like a game, when Blade jump around like an idiot. Poor choice, to use CGI - it was pointless. Maybe they just wanted to test their "evolved CGI skills", bad choice.

Ron "Reinhardt" Perlman was a good choice to cast in this movie, I like him also.

The "flash" granades were a nice addition to weapon collection. And ofcourse the legendary sword from the first movie, it is very nice!

But yeah, a pretty damn good movie!

I think, that this is better than the third one. I mean in points. Blade: Trinity (2004) is maybe more entertaining, and has more nice stars (like Ryan Reynolds, Jessica Biel, Dominic Purcell, Paul "Triple H" Levesque etc...)!

But this is more intelligent, Trinity is... well, kinda "stupid". But the first one will always be the best, like almost every time (in case of movies). Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) may be the only exception to the "rule".

Movie review - Blade

Blade

Director: Stephen Norrington

Writers: David S. Goyer

Actors: Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorff and Kris Kristofferson

My guess: 6,9? - 2003? (7,1 - 1998)

My Points: 7,5 - 4-/5

Well, this was a good movie - like I remembered.

Wesley Snipes was awesome as "Blade". It was also nice to see Kenny "Heatseeking Dennis" Johnson from one of my favorite TV shows; The Shield (2002–2008).

Stephen "Deacon Frost" Dorff as the bad guy, was a nice role.

"Blood shower" was nice. "Good old movies" have nice scenes, like this one.

But, the CGI effects were pretty terrible. They have been out dated!

"The big fat monster" was funny, it would have to be nice see him/her(?) more.

Kris "Whistler" Kristofferson death was sad. I mean, I didn't cry (who cries on Blade?!), but it was very sad.

The "final battle" was pretty nice. Not the best, but not the worst...

But overall, a pretty damn good movie! Don't know about the sequals, but I quess they are at least pretty "ok". I mean, I have seen them. But it's so long time when I saw them, so...

But let's find out in a couples of days.

Movie review - Bumblebee

Bumblebee

Director: Travis Knight

Writer: Christina Hodson

Actors: Hailee Steinfeld, Jorge Lendeborg Jr. and John Cena

My guess: 7,3? - 2019? (6,7 - 2018)

My Points: 7,2 - 3½/5

Well, this was somewhat decent movie...

But, I were almost giving this an "8(/10)" - remembering this was good (when I first time saw it on movie theater).

But, my grade lowered to "7(/10)", this was quite awful movie.

What bothered the most, was the "stupid scenes". There were alot of them.

But if I would list them all, it would take eternity...

John "Agent Burns" Cena was in this one, that was a nice surprise - I didn't remember that. First I didn't like him (in wrestling, Cena), but now I think he's pretty superb. Maybe 'cause he has been in good movies, at first - they were shitty ass hell. For example, 12 Rounds (2009) was terrible.

It was nice to see Pamela "Marcy Runkle" Adlon for a long time. I know her only by Californication (2007-2014).

Then there were Hailee "Charlie" Steinfeld, I like her too. I remember her from True Grit (2010). What a good actress.

But the movie - I mean it "main point", the (Transformers) robots. They were cool, like in every movie.

But sadly, this movie had hope (indeed almost being an "8" movie), but it only got "7" - what a pity...

Movie review - The Black Phone

The Black Phone

Director: Scott Derrickson

Actors: Mason Thames, Madeleine McGraw and Ethan Hawke

My guess: 6,8? - 2021? (6,9 - 2021)

My Points: 7,0 - 3,5/5

I aint got lots to say, about this movie. It's hard to review this, don't know what other people have got to say about this one.

All I can say, is that this got a nice cast. I liked everyone, they weren't super - but good at least.

The atmosphere was frightening, and good - at it was intended.

Ethan Hawke's costume was nice.

That's all I got to say, the grade you can see above - that's it!

Movie review - Blockers

Director: Kay Cannon
Actors: Leslie Mann, John Cena and Ike Barinholtz
My guess: 5,5? - 2018? (6,2 - 2018)
My Points: 5,7 - 3/5
Well, what can you say about this movie? Kinda "blaah" movie, which I guessed this to be. Didn't expect anything good, maybe couple of laughs, if something...
This had couple of it's moments, but pretty doll movie overall!
Leslie was good, as always. But John Cena was the reason to watch this travesty. I like him! And that's because of wrestling, not his acting career. Although, nowadays he has made pretty ok movies (like The Suicide Squad & Fast & Furious)! Then I'm very intrested of of Cenas Peacemaker TV show.
First I didn't like him (in wrestling), but little by little I started to like him. Nowadays he's kinda superstar, in wrestling and a little bit in movies.

Barinholtz was also funny, I liked him/his character.
So, there were couple of funny parts. Like the drinking out of the a** scene. "Blind game" was also funny.
But this was a pretty bad movie, dont recommend to see. Expect if you want some light somewhat funny movie, then this is ok. But if you want some deep Oscar winner movie, then...

Movie review - Breach

Breach

Director: John Suits

Actors: Cody Kearsley, Bruce Willis and Rachel Nichols

My guess: 2,9? - 2020? (2,9 - 2020)

My Points: 3,3 - 1,5/5

Holy shit what a movie - not in a good way, definately not..!! Bruce Willis were so tired (at acting), that... boring! He even took a nap in the movie, what a joke.


The camera work was awful, like some child did it... The action scenes were also terrible, the camera were the hell out of balance.

The flamethrower, did I even had to mention it - it was so f****ng terrible!? This movie had the worst of the special effects, that I have seen in a while.

There aint even got good/or any jokes. When the 'hero' went to the vent, Willis could have made some joke (of/from Die Hard)! But no, this movie had no fun - except accidentally. I laughed my ass of from many of the scenes. But this movie didn't get any better, it was painful laughing...


And what was that, that the normal (bullet) weapons started to work on the 'aliens' later? First they didn't do nothing, not even bulletholes (although the 'first alien' lost his consciousness, I dont know why - because later the weapons indeed didn't do nothing, which was also ridiculous...)!

What (ridiculous) this whole movie was, so f****ng ridiculous - avoid at any cost..!! Except if you wanna laugh, great buddy movie! But not in a good way...

Gotta mention Bruce Willis, I'm very disappointed that he's career went to movies like this! But now when it (Willis career, cause he got aphasia) is over, we dont get even worse movie than this. So that's a good point, if you can say that.

And what the f**ck was the huge - shitty mess, alien? It look so f****ng ridiculous! And it look so clumsy, that what it even could do... How did it even fit to any hallway to woble?! So effing ridiculous (the whole movie...)!! Avoid at any cost...
