I'm not a practiced film critic, but 5.7/10 is harsh. I'm a big fan of the whole Blade series and contrary to a lot of opinions I think Goyer did an excellent job. The cinematography is varied and engaging. I like his use of split screens for example (certainly far better than the Hulk - sorry that I even compare the two). The fight scenes are fun. The special effects are great. My only complaint there is I find that the explosive demise of the vampires a bit cheesy. I'd rather see them terminate in a different way (explosions are a bit b-movie-ish but I know thats how they perish throughout the whole series). The humor is a bit cheesy at times but also really funny as well, it's a mixed bag. I'm on the fence about whether the film made fun of itself. It's interesting that in some sequels this phenomena happens. Did Snipes need to go at it alone as one reviewer said? No, I think the supporting heroes did a fine job and were interesting characters. This film is solidly entertaining. There are far worse choices that are deserving of a 5.7.
