Kiki's Delivery Service isn't nearly as good as Castle in the Clouds or Spirited Away.

I had it on while doing housework and ended up not really watching any of it because it doesn't really have a storyline, it's just sort of a bunch of events that happen with no real order, connection or flow between them. Then Kiki loses her ability to fly for no apparent reason whatsoever, but gets it back when she saves the day at the very end from a disaster that came out of nowhere.

I'd probably give it a C+, only 'cause the cat is cute.

 

about the Blade reference.

What you said about the third installment is entirely true of the first two as well. Well, not all of it since not all three Blade movies can be the worst Blade movie, one has to shine over the others ( I somehow doubt that is actually possible). By shine I mean that the steamy pile you are watching has slightly more shiny objects in it (not the movie but the pile of crap that is the Blade series).

Your exact quote was:

"Stay away from Blade Trinity though; it's 2 hours of stupid stuff with far too little decent action to make up for it."

Doesn't that define the whole Blade trilogy? It certainly does for me.

 

Blade 1: Just good/bad enough to be campy.
Blade 2: Takes itself too seriously, enough to ruin the camp factor.
Blade 3: Train. Wreck. It wasn't even interesting enough to be horrible.

My 3 cents.

 

I don't think any of the blade movies are any good, mostly since wesley snipes isn't very good in them. I suppose he's being faithful to the comic book character (I've never seen an issue.) but he tries to be strong and silent and intimating, and just looks bored and constipated. That being said, Blade 1 had a decent bad guy and introduced the world in somewhat entertaining fashion.

Blade 2 had lots of cool-looking bad guys and some wanna-be Anime-style good guys, and advanced the overall mythology some before setting up a pretty good conclusion.

Blade 3 just laid there. There was no main bad guy and the 2 sorta main ones they had sucked. There was no power struggle or revolution going on within the vampire nation to give us a subplot, and Blade's sudden infusion of sidekicks added nothing to the movie but more young and pretty white people, along with way too much meaningless chatter. There was no overarching plot of any importance either, and the fight scenes were way too video game in their lack of intensity and the prefunctory way the faux-punk vampires died like mindless drones sent in waves for just that purpose removed any hint of excitement or action.

Anyway, I'm stealing my own review thunder, so I'll stop now, but Blade 3 needed a full rewrite, or at least a lot of script tweaks to make any sense or have any reason to exist.
