The last film in the Blade Trilogy is the by far the weakest in terms of writing and characters. This Blade film strayed away from the mystique of the comic book icon and more towards a group of misfits, or vampire hunting A-team. Bringing in this big league cast, which it really is big league, actually ended up hurting the film since it highlighted more colorful characters instead of leaning on a darker atmosphere. Perhaps the biggest disappointment was the arch villain Dracula, who didn't seem all powerful and was portrayed weakly by Dominic Purcell. There also seemed to be a loss edge in fighting techniques and violence, and edited differently the movie could have easily been PG-13. Admitting to Blade Trinity still being an entertaining watch it didn't provide anything memorable or frightening that the first two installments successfully created.

Blade 3 is awesome. So is Wesley. All the reviews so far come from entranced minds. Roger Ebert is a load. Esperanto my brother. William Shanter in incubus playing on boob- tube in background. If Wesley ain't in blade 4 i do wish it bombs. Hey Blade? those tattoos mean anything? Ha! I hope blade four sticks to dismantling lingo with hints of Esperanto. Wesley you kick Ass in the flicks and in so called real life...I commend your stance against the illegal taxation of people. The entire cast and crew from camera people to writers to special effects to make up to costumes are all expertly done. How about some breaks in continuity in blade four, pleas!!!

Blade is back for a third film in Blade Trinity and this time he's not alone as he's joined by the Nightstalkers. Alone and surrounded it seems everyone wants a piece of the day walker, the Vampires want to kill him and the living want to capture and imprison him for his apparent crimes against humanity. At the start of the film Blade is set up, he slays what he believes is a vampire only to find out it's a human in disguise, he's caught on camera and learns it's a set up when the video is played all over the media and a manhunt ensues. While getting a good old telling off from Whistler (Kristofferson) a trap is sprung and his HQ is stormed by human authorities. Whistler is killed (for real this time) but manages to detonate a self destruct command wiping out the command centre and taking all the computers and evidence down with him. Grief stricken Blade is surrounded and submits. Now in police custody it all looks bleak for the day walker. He's interrogated by the law and vampires pretending to be the law. The vampires plan to take him away and to his demise but before they even get out of the room a rescue mission is sprung by Hannibal Kane (Ryan Reynolds) and Abigail Whistler (Whistlers daughter, played by Jessica Biel). They escape and take Blade to their own HQ where he learns about other Vampire resistance groups/ cells. They advise Blade that the Vampire current plan is to resurrect the very first vampire, Dracula (Dominic Purcell) himself. The chase is on, kill Dracula or be killed and watch as the world dies. While all looks bleak there is also a glimmer of hope as the team have finally made a compound that can cure vampirism but it has to be injected into the alphas vampire, I guess it's lucky that Dracula is knocking around then. This was a fun film all in all, more tongue in cheek humour than the last two but still crammed with action and adventure. The pace of the film is a little up and down but that's because it's almost like it has two films worth of content all rolled into one. It was refreshing to see how the Blade's actions are seen by the living and how they reported on it, in previous films he was just allowed to dice and slice with no consequences ever being discussed. The casting was not what I expected for a Blade film, I was happy watching Wesley Snipes rampage but I can't remember signing up to watch Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel kick undead butt. Why does Blade need sidekicks though? He didn't really need them in the other films or the comics, it's almost in insult that he's been given them for this film. By having sidekicks and by sharing screen time with them it belittles Blade and makes him look like he's not actually that essential
but isn't he the day walk, the scourge of the vampire world? Evidently not and humans can get in on the act too. Not just do they get in on the act but they also have no fear of Vampires or death and they seem to physically cope with the demands of hunting super strength blood suckers. Average human's didn't fair to well in the first two Blade films so what makes them suddenly able to stand up to the fight? Allowing the 'kids' to have as much screen time diminishes the need for Blade who has made himself into the Vampire hunter the world needs. As well as belittling Blade's involvement it also gives the film a pretty and poppy feel, almost like they are trying to removed the darkness of the Blade franchise to attract a younger audience - shame. Although not a side kick what was the point in putting Triple-H (Jarko Grimwood) (WWE wrestler) in the film? He wasn't imposing, he wasn't a threat, he didn't have great dialogue, he was just there for being there's sake. Dominic Purcell as Dracula didn't do it for me either, he didn't seem convincing as the alpha vampire with unmeasurable strength and power, he was more like the bad guy in an episode of "Hercules" or "Zena: Warrior Princess". When I've sat back and thought about It after the film he didn't actually serve any kind of threat to the world, at most he killed a few of the Nightstalkers and attempts to throw a baby of a building (despite talking about 'honour' in his finale with Blade) but other than that nothing too menacing. He could probably have been left to roam the city for ages before any major incidents occurred which would need a vampire fighting hit squad to try and kill him off. Out of the bad guys it was Parker Posey as Danica Talos who was the most credibility, well, least embarrassing anyway, she played the role as if she was copying Fairuza Balk in "The Craft".For fear of a massive rant I'm going to stop myself here and try to summarise the rest of the review. Not as good as the first two films. Not as dark as the first two films. Random pace and random casting. More amusement and humour than action and story. Family friendly Blade rather than cult classic for fans. Terrible way to end the franchise. Predictable in places. Good soundtrack. 6 out of 10

This film just didn't have anything going for it, it was very poorly acted, the action sequences were not exciting in the least, and the film as a whole just fell completely flat all the way around! The casting choices were ALL WRONG as well, Ryan Reynolds was embarrassingly bad in his role, and I'm afraid Jessica Biel was just as bad, if not worse. Wesley Snipes just acted like the whole movie, which is what he was supposed to do of course, so I really don't have any complaints there. Also, Dracula SUCKED BIG TIME in this movie, he was just Soo bland and downright boring, his performance fell flat and was very cheesy and awful. The dialogue was laughable as well, much like the acting. This movie was very hard to get through, and it was truly a waste of my time. 3/10 for Blade: Trinity. 👎🏼
