Even skeptical fans of the Blade franchise will enjoy sinking their teeth into Blade: Trinity. The law of diminishing returns is in full effect here, and the franchise is wearing out its welcome, but let's face it: any movie that features Jessica Biel as an ass-kicking vampire slayer and Parker Posey--yes, Parker Posey!--as a vamping vampire villainess can't be all bad, right? Those lovely ladies bring equal measures of relief and grief to Blade, the half-human, half-vampire once again played, with tongue more firmly in stone-cold cheek, by Wesley Snipes. With series writer David S. Goyer in the director's chair, the film is calculated for mainstream appeal, trading suspenseful horror for campy humor and choppy, nonsensical action. The franchise still offers some intriguing ideas, however, including Drake (Dominic Purcell), the original vampire, whose blood contains the secret that could destroy all blood-suckers in a plot that incorporates a sinister "blood farm" where humans are held--and drained--in suspended animation. And Biel's wise-cracking sidekick (Ryan Reynolds) in her cadre of "Nightstalkers" provides comic relief in a series that's grown increasingly dour. All of which makes Blade: Trinity a love-it-or-hate-it sequel... supposedly the last in a trilogy, but the ending suggests otherwise. --Jeff Shannon

 This movie sucked and not in a good way June 21, 2008
ReaderFanatic (Chicago, IL United States)
I wasn't all that crazy about the first Blade movie. I really loved the second Blade movie, but this one was a complete joke! It became less about Blade and more about Whistler's "sexy daughter". But even, that wasn't the problem.
The dialogue was terrible, the acting wasn't all that either. But even THAT wasn't the problem.
The plot was atrocious. First off, aren't vampires supposed to get stronger the older they are? So why is the first vampire running from Blade? Why do they seem matched in power? Dracula should have wiped the floor with Blade.
Also, in the beginning when Whistler's daughter was setting a trap for the vampires by using the fake baby. Shouldn't the vampires have been able to tell it was a fake baby?
Basically a lot of lame scenarios to try to pull this movie off. So not good.

I enjoyed this movie. Blade seems to be a cold blooded killer because he is taking on a nation of vampires.

Blade Trinity completes the trilogy of films that features Wesley Snipes as Blade, a vampire who has all the powers of one but does not bow down to the weaknesses that most succumb to. This "Daywalker" has a sole mission of slaying all Vampires in order to keep the Earth from becoming one big bloodbath.
Trinity gets more to the surface and streets of the everyday humans, somewhat taking the viewer away from the futuristic, sheer walled complexes and ancient fictional gothic styled architecture that was an almost constant backdrop of the first two movies. The additions of recognizable actors in major roles also seems to slightly change the mood for the film, but does not necessarily hurt it. Jessica Biel stars as Abigail Whistler, who of course is the daughter of the man who raised Blade and continually outfit him with his much needed serum, shelter, and weaponry. Dominic Purcell, known primarily for his starring role in the Fox series "Prison Break", is cast as Dracula himself (named Drake in this film). The Dracula storyline of course gets some much needed historical uplift from the common Bram Stoker story, but it nor Purcell's stone faced acting ability really don't do enough to make his character intriguing, original or even daunting despite his seriously out of this world powers.
Blade Trinity seems to be a jack-of-all-trades, master of none storyline. The fight scenes seem to have somewhat less impact in certain scenes than they have with the first two films of the trilogy, but if any props can be given to this film, it is the fact it tries harder than the first two to incorporate more major characters within the storyline and have their goals and overall intentions bring a greater impact to the final, bloody outcome. The film does a good job to portray a certain symbolism, like the character of Drake and what he means to Vampire mythology in general trying to fight Blade. With the Blade trilogy in general, it was not always about Blade hunting vampires but the struggle for overall power on all sides, which in Trinity is done fairly well with the continual theme of Blade being not only a catalyst for the vampires but also an ultimatum of sorts, forever revolving as their worst enemy in some instances, but in others being their only hope for a future.

The action wasn't on par with the Blade series at all, the plot was absurd, and Ryan Reynolds, who I'm usually alright with, was just annoying and simply does not fit into the Blade series. Like this movie as a whole.
The opening sequence was alright, but from there it just went downhill. About the only good parts of this movie are the fact that Wesley Snipes and Kris Kristofferson are both in it again.
So, it comes down to a lot of trilogies--the first two are great, but the third you should only buy if you absolutely LOVE the character, regardless of how bad the movie they put him/her into is. I just picked this one up because it was dirt cheap and I hadn't seen it.
