I hate to say it but none of you r really Blade fans since I bet none of u have read the Blade comic(which is absolutely shithouse) that the whole thing was based on so stop being such purists whining about something slightly new because it displeases your non-existent fanaticism surrounding Blade .
Pfft, you're ridiculous. Yes, I'm sure introducing new prominent characters essentially with the effect of sidelining Blade and Whistler from the entire franchise which is based around those characters is only 'something slightly new' and make us 'purists'. And yes, I'm also sure that my fanaticism about Blade is non-existent when I've openly affirmed my interest in the movies, aswell as bothering to type discussions on it up. Try not to make a mess whilst getting sliced and diced by the logic.

no, i'm not a blade fan. and too everyone saying that the comedy made the movie worse coz it's supposed to be an action movie, i could agree with you if it weren't for the fact that the action completely sucked in this movie. if there had been no comedy in blade 3, not only would it have been crap, i'm pretty sure it woulda given me cancer. as it stands it is just an extremely subpar action movie, made watchable only for its few funny scenes
The comedy was amusing, but it wasn't really appropriate IMO. The first two were always serious, and it should of stayed that way for the third. Kinda like Terminator 3; the first two were utterly serious but the third introduced alot of comical relief. Great for laughs, but again I didn't think it was good for the franchise.
Also, what was wrong with the action? If you hated the martial arts in this, you must have hated them in the first two too, especially the first one. Blade's choreography has always been hard hitting, and he fights with elegance and fluidity (unlike say.. Keanu Reeves).
My overall cons for this movie is as summarised:
- 'Nightstalkers'
- average script, average direction
- poor pacing (which really is just a subset attribute of the 'average direction', I guess)
- Whistler dies
- the constant comedy from Reynolds
