They've tried like ten times and they're always bad.

It should

I actually quite liked all of them to some degree. I even enjoyed the awful CGI rubber ninjas fight scene; I know the movement was unrealistic but I was young enough that I figured it was superhuman vampire flexibility. However, I agree that the first one was the best.

Trinity was my second introduction to Ryan Reynolds, so that helped some. (I'm pretty sure I first saw him in Van Wilder.) Also Wesley Snipes saying "gootchie goo" to a baby was pretty hilarious, though reflecting on that I'm not sure they ever explained how he got that child back to its mother.

Also, I think Natasha Lyonne was in that. I knew I recognized her when my wife started watching OitNB, but it took me forever to figure out why.
