I felt pretty uncomfortable watching Blade Trinity; when I saw it in the theater. It has since begun to grow on me. Though, first the 'awkwardness'. I felt uneasy watching these vastly different actors (and characters) clash in a big way. I know they were supposed to be on the opposition from the get-go, but instead of being a storyline clash, it just felt nervous and tense (to me).
Blade: Of course, he's always tense and serious and all business. Always has been. However, with the addition of the younger, and rag-tag bunch, known as the 'Nightstalkers', he seems even more tense and edgy than he normally would. Lashing out at them for almost no reason, at times and even when they've helped him / saved him. I got the feeling the actor didn't like the 'newbies', stealing some of his thunder on his title movie series. Almost can't blame him.
King: The antithesis to Blade in almost every way. Ryan Reynolds actually saved this movie on a few levels. It's like he through fuel on the fire of tension with his jokes that never seemed to get laughs, other than from the audience who laughed quite openly. Reynolds is perfect for the tense moments with his dry humor and sometimes childish quips. I liked him in this, and wouldn't mind if he reprized his role in future movies of either Blade or a spin-off of the Nightstalkers.
Abigail Whistler: Pretty cool. Again, serious. And naturally seemed to hit it off better with Blade than the others. The more I watch Trinity, the more I like her. She's not over-the-top and seems to have her own persona that sets her apart from the rest. Of course, she enters her own world whenever she puts on her earphones.
Still, the first few times I watched this, I was very uncomfortable watching these actors / characters interact. This could have been better, but I really enjoyed much of the humor and some of the fight sequences. Especially, Abigail's first one in the movie.
