  Blade - Trinity, the
  last of the Blade movies? Quite possibly, but then it was kind of a let
  down for a trilogy.  But then the only decently good Blade film
  was the first one. Anyways, I can appreciate what they tried to do with
  this third film, and it showed some promise as the end of the
  trilogy.  The problem was that it didn't really excel anymore than
  the previous films, and was basically your run of the mill action flick
  with vampires.  Logic also for the most part was thrown out the
  window, so that didn't help too much.  Oh well, Jessica Biel was
  hot, and that's what was really going for it wasn't it? Movie gets a "C"

  Gladiator, now
  there's a movie that I didn't have much high expectations for. 
  That time period isn't exactly something that I'm a fan of
  either.  Although Braveheart
  is one of my most favorite films of all time. The intro for Gladiator
  didn't help much either, what with it's gritty dark war scene that
  mistakenly seems to run at 10 frames per second or something. But after
  that whole first act, and the talks of politics, scheming, and
  philosophy started showing up, that's when things got interesting to
  me.  The whole feel for the colloseum games was also well made,
  and the action scenes for that were a lot more engrossing than the war
  scenes.  Also, it should be pointed out that Russell Crowe impressed me in his role.  He truly is "the thinking man's action hero."  Movie gets an "A-"
