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

Blade 2 is better, this movie is watered down. February 19, 2010
The (CA, USA)
After watching Blade 2, this movie was a bit disapointing, not as hardcore, but still entertaining. Jessical Biel is hot, but they didnt use her hotness the right way which made this movie kinda weaksauce, Ryan reynolds is funny, but they didnt use him right either, made the movie even more watered down, this movie is definitely not as good, not as hardcore as Blade 2. I was disapointed so i give it 3 stars since its not a bad movie.
 Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds Ruin This Movie February 13, 2010
YJM (Somewhere In The South)
Blade is my all-time favorite vampire movie along with Bram Stokers Dracula. I remember on a whim going to see Blade back in 1998 with a buddy of mine and we both absolutely loved it. It was sleek, sexy, exciting, well acted, and featured some absolutely stunning martial arts choreography by Mr. Snipes. Blade 2 was also a lot of fun. While it wasn't quite the classic Blade was it still had many of its predecessors good traits. It was an enjoyable romp and neat to see Blade fight someone as strong or even stronger than himself. Then we get Blade Trinity...
I kept an open mind when I heard Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds would be staring in the movie as Blade's new sidekicks, but I was a bit nervous about those choices. Jessica Biel, great to look at, and she does well in chick flicks. Jessica Biel as a butt kicking vampire slayer, well I was very apprehensive about her being able to pull that off authentically. Ryan Reynolds, I have never liked him in anything I've seen him in. He plays the same character in every movie, a sarcastic one-line cracking doof. But still, Parker Posey and a plot pitting Blade against the original Dracula, well I thought to myself, "how bad could it be?" Oh my was I ever wrong, it turned out to be worse than I could have imagined.
To sum up what ultimately dooms this movie, well I put that in the title of my review. To elaborate a bit, Jessica Biel is a completely unbelievable vampire slayer. Her martial arts choreography is poor and stiff looking, as though she was never comfortable with the whole "punching and kicking thing." She looks great in her outfit, but this chick is much better suited to being someone's love interest in some chick flick, wearing pretty things and shopping at the mall. She is what I like to refer to some women as a girly-girl, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! My girlfriend is a girly-girl and I love it, but she has as much inclination to punch someone out as I do to perform brain surgery. Ryan Reynolds... well what can you say about his character other than incredibly, annoying and unfunny. Not a single one of his one-liners illicited a laugh out of me, more like a groan. His character is so annoying that even Wesley Snipes appears annoyed with him for much of the movie. While Jessica was a bad casting choice, Ryan absolutely destroys the movie with his constant banter. Why didn't the directer restrain this guy and stop him from spewing so many stupid one-liners? It appears he was given free reign with the script to add all the little unfunny jokes he could think of and it comes off with disastrous effect. Thank you Mr. Reynolds for single handily ruining this movie.
The final nail in the coffin was put there by Mr Snipes himself. He looks bored and annoyed through much of the film, like he's going through the motions. I think he knew what a turkey the movie was going to be and probably just thought of it as a paycheck during the filming. Dominic Purcell as Dracula was okay, not terrible but also not memorable. And Parker Posey was way too hammy in this movie, overacted is a better way of putting it. Kris Kristofferson makes a return, but why I don't know. He had a small, forgettable role in this movie unlike the first two. Another paycheck based actor for this third film, I think so.
In closing, this movie will never join my collection with the first two. It was a very disheartening way to end such a great series. You never want to go out on a bad note like this. I read Welsey Snipes was so upset with the movie and the critical reviews it received he said it would be his last Blade film. Blade without Wesley is not a Blade movie, so I really hope they don't attempt a 4th movie unless he's in it. They also need to get a director and writer committed to making a serious film that shows respect for the characters and history of the first two movies. I do hope they make a 4th film that is everything a Blade movie should be, as I hate to see the series end with a movie like Trinity.

Blade Trinity is a wonderful movie but takes a different path then the first two. If you are looking for a good action flick with humor thrown in, Blade Trinity is definitly for you.
underated... November 1, 2009

Marvel Comics didnt support this series like the others. matter of fact, Stan Lee didnt have the decency to appear in any of the movies, yet Wesley Snipes still created a Blade that no one else couldve pulled off. and this particular movie had the comedic Ryan Reynolds in it with his incredible one-liners. i rated this a 5 star because despite all the odds Blade still did it!
Blade Trinity... All right Marvel; No more movies I mean it. October 20, 2009

Blade Trinity: 1/10: Press reports at the time of Blade: Trinity's release claimed that star Wesley Snipes went off the deep end and tried to kill the director David S. Goyer. Lord knows he could have gotten away with it. Show the jury this movie and let the acquittals fly.
After two better than we deserved films the third Blade is a mess. For one thing the casting director is insane. The good guys consist of Snipes, Gabby Hayes (Kris Kristofferson), Elektra (Jessica Biel), Van Wilder (Ryan Reynolds), a retarded guy, a blind woman and Newt from Aliens.
The good guys have a "club" called the Nightstalkers. (What no Darren McGavin). Biel fights with an overtly plugged iPod playing horrible techno. (I would think being able to hear would be important in hand-to-hand combat) Reynolds's character spouts off endless one liners (most of them remarkably lame) and is saddled with the name Hannibal King. (Also needless to say remarkably lame) and fights with a light saber bow. (Please see above).
Speaking of lame we have the bad guys. We have wrestler triple H (who cannot act), Parker Posey (who cannot speak with the fangs in her mouth) and best of all Dracula (Who calls himself Drake. Thinks he is in a Highlander movie. He is also a pacifist piece of Euro trash that looks like he fell of a Harlequin romance book cover. And is easily the least convincing screen Dracula I have ever scene (I'm including both George Hamilton and Mel Brooks in this equation).
The script is awful (even if you remove Reynolds's one-liners), the film was edited in a Cuisinart, the continuity was done by the blind girl, and the plot consists of bad guys finding good guys headquarters, then good guys finding bad guys headquarters.
If your still not convinced a contribution to Mr. Snipes potential legal defense fund is in order let me remind you. Parker Posey is the head vampire and has a climatic battle with Van Wilder. You can make the check out to cash.
