It could have been a recipe for success but it wasn't. Even though instructions were followed, something still went wrong and resulted in disaster.
Lots of people loved this movie. I didn't. I thought it was too simplistic, too caught up in its own scandal and just too disconnected. At least for me.
I found it hard to sympathize with the main characters. Everything was happening too fast and too vague. I kept hoping things would get better during the second half but it just kept getting worse.
The actors were good but I don't think they were great. I think this movie was extremely over-hyped, which is really such a shame because Ang Lee is a great director and four leads are very good actors.
For me, choosing between Crash and Brokeback Mountain was a no brainer. The right movie won, IMO.

Based on the first two Blade movies, I wasn't expecting too much on the story part of the movie. I was looking forward to Blade's moves and seeing Triple H on the big screen. It's always a good thing when you don't expect too much from a movie because chances are, you won't leave the theater utterly disappointed.
It was a good movie, purely enjoyable. It was fun to see Blade perform his moves again. Ryan Reynolds was a good decision, too. He provided a lot of the humor in the movie, which was needed to distract the people from the otherwise faulty plot. And since they had a professional wrestler in the movie, they, of course, had to incorporate some wrestling movies in their fight scenes. Hehe. Cheap thrill for me.
On to the bad part, pacing was too fast. People will definitely not watch this for the story but for Blade so the producers don't want to bore the audience. But it was just too fast. Blade II was better for me.
Actors were miscast. Dracula, played by Dominic Purcell, was so unimpressive. Parker Posey was convincing as a villain, as usual, but her vampire teeth are so distracting. You think she's not still so not used to it? Character developments were too forced. That thing with Jessica Biel and the iPod was a bit lame though. It's not very endearing.
And my biggest gripe of all, there was just too few action scenes. This must be the reason why I loved Blade II. The action scenes there were the best. Oh and one more thing, I will never look at a Pomeranian the same way again.
I'd recommend this if only for some light-hearted fun. It won't kill you to try watching it. Just don't expect it to be a great movie because it's really not.

Having immensely enjoyed the first movie and hearing the interviews of the cast, I was up for some laughs with this movie. It is funny. No actually, thank goodness it was funny. Because otherwise it would have bombed. Story was just too loose and I really couldn't be bothered with it. I actually just stopped trying to decipher it and just listened to the witty lines by the actors.
Yes, the lines are very, very witty and funny. The chemistry between the cast is still there but it was obviously made just to make money. It was disappointing. That's why I'm glad that it was at least funny. Oh and the appearance of Robbie Coltrane (HP's Hagrid), Topher Grace and Bruce Willis were unexpected and greatly appreciated.
The shots were great though. It was so reminiscent of the old crime and detective movies back in the 60s and 70s. I love it! And the music fit it well, too. And the setting this time around was better, especially since they filmed in Europe (with Amsterdam getting a lot of screen time).
I give it a 6 out of 10 because really the mistake with the story was just too obvious to be ignored.
