Title: Blade 3 - Your Opinions and Subsequent Spending Habits
Post by: vyper on January 12, 2005, 01:10:27 pm
Spoiler:

After watching two nights ago, I've decided I don't like it. It feels too rushed, and nothing new happens. The mutant vamps from B2 were more effective than that "first" guy, and frankly Whistler died far too fast. The rest of it involved product placement (namely IPOD and some American SUV maker). Bleh.

I liked it, but the jokes were a bit overdone, and the movie seemed to take itself less seriously than the first two.
And oh well, there were two products in there that are in mainstream use :rolleyes: That automatically makes it as ucky movie.

Dude, it's not the fact they were there. It's how often they featured. Her ****ing iTunes account was shown several times as they "prepared".

I mean come t'****.

SHE HAS AN iTUNES ACCOUNT! IN A MOVIE! OMFG!!!!!

Come off it, who cares? They put a couple seconds worth of footage of itunes into a movie that's about 2 hours long. I saw it for so brief, I didn't even think of it.

I find product placement incredibly irritating, because it's always rather blatant, and it spoils my viewing pleasure. Unless it's a Wayne's World pisstake, obviously...

In order for you to notice product placement, you actually have to look for it and think about it. If you just look at the movie and go "Oh, she has an iPod," instead of "OMG! Those Apple HACKS, putting an iPod into a movie!!!!", I think you'll enjoy it more :p

Yeah, well, I'm not the kind of person who just stares at a film. I'm somewhat analytical, so I notice little things like that. If she has an iPod, fair enough, but if said gizmo features prominently in several shots, then I'm going to recognize the disproportionate amount of screen-time it's getting. From what vyper has said, that seems to be what's going on in this film, so I think it features enough to irritate me... :p

Yes.

Besides which the actual film is ****e. Seriously, the main female vamp makes me think of what would happen if the "cool" kids in high school had played The Masqurade. Angsty teen chick sucks blood, plots destruction of civilisation, usual ****. All because she got dumped before the xmas dance probably.

After seeing the trailers, I'm not going to expose my self to that.

Blade 1 was good, Blade 2 was ****. Blade 3 looks to be like 2, only worse.

I thought about it all the time. Rather, I thought about how the producers were WHORES for putting that into the movie.

The movie blows.

Hardcore.

I thought it was good. Not as good as the first two.

The profanity, sex jokes, and the shower scene was overdone though.

The shower scene was one of the few worthy moments ;)

Does it show what should be shown in a shower scene?

That isn't what Shower scenes are for ;)

Seriously though, unless it's vital to the plot, my brain just tends to go 'Square technical looking thing.'.. 'unimportant digital printout' etc..
