Hannibal King (Blade: Trinity)

Hannibal King was a typical Ryan Reynolds character – mouthy, witty and intentionally annoying – and while that might be enjoyable in some movies (most of his movies, in fact), it was totally out of place in Blade: Trinity.

The franchise had established a very particular tone that was far more akin to a slasher horror movie than a popcorn comic book flick, but apart from an abundance of crude swear words, that’s all that Reynolds’ King brought to the proceedings.

He had some funny one-liners, but they weren’t the kind of one-liners you wanted to hear in the bloody, violent, and dark world of Wesley Snipes’ Blade. Unfortunately, the character was badly misplaced and single-handedly turned the film into something of a farce.
