Blade: Trinity (2004)
Directed by David S. Goyer
For years, Blade has fought against the vampires in the cover of the night. But now, after falling into the crosshairs of the FBI, he is forced out into the daylight, where he is driven to join forces with a clan of human vampire hunters he never knew existed—The Nightstalkers. Together with Abigail and Hannibal, two deftly trained Nightstalkers, Blade follows a trail of blood to the ancient creature that is also hunting him—the original vampire, Dracula.

What critics compared Blade: Trinity to
As a result, the whole movie quickly feels like a lost opportunity which makes “Blade: Trinity” seem more energetic in comparison.
I liked the bit where Deadpool's stoner buddy (T.J. Miller) references Blade II because I remembered that Reynolds was notoriously in Blade: Trinity and I recall reading that Wesley Snipes was perpetually stoned on that shoot and sent memos to the director signed "Blade."
He was also in movie adaptations of Blade: Trinity and R.I.P.D. , lending credence to the calls from some fans that he shouldn’t be allowed near a comic book property.
This is an actor who has been involved already twice in forays into such worlds – first as a sarcastic mercenary in “Blade: Trinity” and then a colorful wisecracker in “Green Lantern” – and has weathered the scars of box office failure enough to inform his context.
How surprised you are that Reynolds is more than up to the challenge of a one-man show that spotlights big emotions—from fear and fury to tenderness and vulnerability—and tiny gestures probably depends on whether you know him as the amiable star of dumb comedies like Van Wilder, TV’s “Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place” and The Proposal; the living action-figure of Blade: Trinity and Wolverine; or the underappreciated actor who aced three completely different roles in The Nines , a tricky, “Twilight Zone”-ish riff on fate, free will, and the price of being too clever by half.
