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

 Not a Blade fan? still worth purchasing. December 29, 2008
Nicholas Urbanik
I must admit I have not seen any of the other Blade movies and only purchased this DVD becaus it had Ryan Reynolds in it. I figured that even if I didn't like the movie the humor of Ryan Reynolds would be worth the small amount that I paid for it. Funny, Reynolds most certainly is even though his part is not that of a main character, rather srceen time is shared amongst the other actors equally. If you are a fan of Reynolds' humor than you will not be let down at all by his quick witted jokes that he throws into the mix of things on scene. After watching the movie I did find the special effects to be really good and not too over the top and "CG", as I had expected them to be. The story line does not fall short either and despite the fact that I have not seen any of the other Blade movies, I was still able to follow the movie very well and not feel as though I was missing a big part of the story from having not seen any prior Blade movies. Reynolds provides comical relief and seems to mesh very well with the story line as well as the other characters within the movie. Fan of past Blade movies or not, Blade Trinity is a movie worth checking out if even only for the simple fact that Ryan Reynolds is in it.
 Blade Meets Van Wilder December 22, 2008
Ridley Spazer (chambersburg, pa USA)
The original vampire, Dracula, is resurrected, in modern day Iraq of course, by his "people" (vampires, of course) and is not exactly in a good mood. Danica Talos (a female version of Deacon Frost) wants him to kill Blade, but there is one problem: he has no motivation.
What could have been a decent man-out-of-time tale is out-weighed by cringingly bad dialog and a story often mirroring it's predecessors too much (Blade teaming up, loved one killed, underdog suits up for vengeance against the big dogs). So, what should have been a mediocre, hackneyed if watchable rehash becomes an uneven choppy mess thanks to haphazardly edited fight scenes, out of place and sexually insecure jokesters Ryan Reynolds and Parker Posey and their gratuitous Freud jokes, and so many plot holes and illogic in the story you may think this is a parody. Another killer is disinterested and generally uninspired Snipes (though he has a few flashes of attitude here and there) leading to more screen time for Reynolds and Biel.
A better title would have been "Blade Meets Van Wilder", no really, audiences would have known what to expect. Extremely disappointing conclusion to one of the best comic book adaptations up to date.
 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.
