Remember when Wesley Snipes was an actor and not an action star? Remember movies such as Mo' Better Blues, Jungle Fever, New Jack City? Hell, even Minor League and To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar?
Those were great movies that showcased the acting chops of Mr. Snipes. But then he did a couple of action movies and got a taste for it and then did a couple more and it quickly snowballed from there.
Now, I will concede that some of his action movies are pretty good. I mean, I enjoyed Passenger 57 and Demolition Man. I even enjoyed the first Blade movie.
But Blade 2 was crap and so was Blade: Trinity. The only thing stopping this movie from getting 5 pitchforks was the fact that the special effects and fight scenes were pretty quick ass.
Bad acting abounds in this movie. It's like Wesley Snipes is channelling William Shatner, Ahnuld, and his Demolition Man co-star Stallone all at the same time. And while Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds are very good looking, their acting also leaves something to be desired.
The plot is pretty thin and the bad guys aren't really so creepy or evil. Even the Big Bad is not so bad. The creepies in Blade 2 were worse than this guy.
I'd say, wait for the DVD to come out, but don't expect too much.
