Member GoldenFist Posted February 3, 2009 Member Share Posted February 3, 2009 Listen, I used to think Welsey was preety freakin cool, I loved " Passenger 57 " great Flick! But I really hated the Blade series, I think it ruined my idea on him, what do you guys think? - GoldenFist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member venom10463 Posted February 4, 2009 Member Share Posted February 4, 2009 I thought he was great in part 1&2, but 3 pretty much ruined the trilogy and any future films. I wasn't at all impressed with the tv series starring former rap star Sticky Fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted February 4, 2009 Administrator Share Posted February 4, 2009 I think WS was great in the Blade films. Yes, part 3 had major problems, but I still enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Markgway Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 tv series starring former rap star If only there was some clue...... Snipes has done some decent movies in the past (Passenger 57, Rising Sun, Demolition Man, Murder at 1600, etc) but for some reason he was never a fave of mine. I found him impossible to like. Not sure what it was but I never warmed to him as a personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kingofkungfu2002 Posted February 4, 2009 Member Share Posted February 4, 2009 I thought he was the perfect choice for Blade, but if they do decide to revive the series I'd like to see Michael Jai White in the role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member JazzandZen Posted February 4, 2009 Member Share Posted February 4, 2009 I've personally always enjoyed Wesley Snipes in most movies he makes; everything ranging from "Passenger 57" to "Art of War" to "One Night Stand." I think the brotha did good in Blade 1 & 2, but I admit that I haven't seen "Blade 3" nor do I have any desire to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Bravery Posted February 4, 2009 Member Share Posted February 4, 2009 I think that he was fine in the first two Blade movies, but the third was just all around terrible. There is not one saving grace in that movie, I don't even consider it part of the Blade series, nothing in common with the other Blade movies. He didn't even have a battle with Dracula, just an imposter named Drake. Dracula would've never been so corny or a that bad at acting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Alex Posted February 5, 2009 Member Share Posted February 5, 2009 You guys should check out Undisputed if you get a chance, the first one with Wesley Snipes and Ving Rhames, directed by the legendary Walter Hill. By far the best thing he's done in a like decade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kungfusamurai Posted February 6, 2009 Member Share Posted February 6, 2009 I like Snipes. It's unfortunate he hasn't been in the best of movies. He's got some great martial arts chops, which he shows off well in his films. Demolition Man was probably one of his best performances. Blade III was a terrible film, but it wasn't Snipes' doing, it was just a poor production. KFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member GoldenFist Posted February 7, 2009 Author Member Share Posted February 7, 2009 We'll I started this thread because we'll frankly like most of you said He was good in Blade 1 & 2, three sucked balls! But I've seen undisputed and demolition man, both very good movies! - GoldenFist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kungfusamurai Posted February 7, 2009 Member Share Posted February 7, 2009 Someone did a compilation of his fight scenes on youtube piwr_Mb4dbY You can tell he knows what he's doing. Maybe they should put him as the lead in the Bourne Identity (if they're not planning on reusing Matt Damon). If not that, then maybe a future Bond flick, so we can see some real ass-kicking, and not some quick edited bullsheet. KFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member blue_skies Posted February 18, 2009 Member Share Posted February 18, 2009 he was v good in Blade/II ...but 3 was embarrassingly awful. As for the TV show that was great, really liked that rapper turned actor once he was past the immitating wesley, the show was well written and the way the story threads weaved together made the show a pleasure. the action was iffy in the begining but got much better...but story telling was top notch...btw the DVD features more gore, graphic violence and sex(nudity) like the movies.XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted February 23, 2009 Member Share Posted February 23, 2009 Well, Blade Trinity suffered from its share of on-set strife. At the time, I had an e-mail correspondence with Snipes' fight choreographer, Chuck Jeffreys. He mentioned that there some arguments between Snipes and David Goyer, but the media blew it out of proportion. The third film was not as good as the first two for sure. Originally, it was rumored that Michael Jai White was supposed to play the role of Blade in the TV series, before Kirk "Sticky" Jones. I tried to get into the series, but I couldn't get past Jones' imitating Snipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member CrazyFrog Posted February 25, 2009 Member Share Posted February 25, 2009 I think Blade had a good run with an acceptable B-movie start (Blade), a better-than-it-should-have-been sequel (Blade 2) and a lackluster finish (Blade 3). Wesley was perfectly suited for the movies as he was one of the most ass-kicking black actors in Hollywood at the time and is considered a solid actor. Blade as a series and an idea should rest for now. We have enough vampire glut on the market as it is! I think a more exciting project would be a Black Panther movie; I know Wesley tried to get that going but with his current financial troubles, I think it's been stuck in development hell. Micheal Jai White looks like a great candidate for that role IMO. I would rather see a Black Panther and maybe an Iron Fist/Power Man movie than another Superman retread or X-men spinoff. I just hope they wouldn't fall into that Punisher category of film where it gets minimal budget and promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member mpm74 Posted July 12, 2015 Member Share Posted July 12, 2015 At this year’s Comic-Con, here’s what Wesley Snipes has to say: The project is controlled by Marvel and we did have a really productive and a wonderful meeting and we discussed a number of things. I don’t know where it’s on their schedule at this point, that hasn’t been decided. I guess it’s still up in the air… but if we don’t to a Blade 4 or something else with Marvel, we’ll do something else.” Until we get the official word, you can catch Wesley in NBC’s upcoming TV pilot, The Player.

Member OpiumKungFuCracker Posted July 12, 2015 Member Share Posted July 12, 2015 I'm always down for another Blade movie. Wash that bad taste of Blade Trinity from my mouth. Wasn't that shit awful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Secret Executioner Posted July 12, 2015 Member Share Posted July 12, 2015 A new Blade movie could be interesting. Has Blade ever been cannon within the Marvel universe ? That could make for a nice addition to the MCU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted September 28, 2015 Member Share Posted September 28, 2015 While the 3rd Blade film certainly wasn't the best of the trilogy, I think it gets a bad rap. I enjoy solely for Ryan Reynolds. He kills me as Hannibal King. Rather than seeing Snipes come back, I'd like to see some fresh new talent take on the role and kickstart the franchise again. As much as I adore MJW, I don't know that I see him as Blade either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
