Good movie but grossly overrated

Crappy film

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Wesley Snipes did not possess the same screen presence he did with the previous two films. It almost seemed as if he himself was not sure why he decided to make this Blade film, and didn't seem as enthusiastic as before. This movie was just one big mess. I mean, right in the beginning, a guy "set him up" by posing as a vampire so Blade would chase him and they could film him to show to the world he kills humans. Did this guy intend to sacrifice himself? How did they know where to place the cameramen for this purpose? How would they have had the faintest idea where the revealing action would take place? Nothing about this scene made any sense! It infuriated me!The entire film has no credibility whatsoever and everything happens purely for effect or because it would look great on screen. Some of the visual effects during the action sequences are indeed fantastic, but most of them are not logical. It is overdone, to say the least. Oh, and the store attendants at the Dracula store were real dickheads! They honestly deserved their fate. The dialogue was terrible, as was the music. And if Drake is so powerful, why was he running away from Blade instead of just overpowering or killing him? Surely he could easily do that, but then we wouldn't have had a story, would we. Hmmm, this suddenly sounds good...The film only gets a bit more serious well after the halfway mark, but by that time I couldn't give a damn anymore. Wow, there's a lot of CGI breaking glass in this movie!!! Ryan Reynolds' character was a real moron and even his perfect body couldn't save it for me. This film played more like a spoof than a sequel.

Don't get me wrong. Blade: Trinity is an okay actioner, just not the film fans expected. The studio wanted to draw in a younger audience and David S. Goyer, writer of the first two films, tries to deliver in only his second directorial effort. Unfortunately, Goyer as director comes off more like your dad trying to rap or your mom trying to twerk.But, I digress. The movie opens with lots of explosions as Blade takes out a warehouse of vampires and chases down fleeing bloodsuckers. He causes the last vamp to crash into an outdoor mall and then, before the horrified eyes of shoppers and diners, he shoots the vampire. Only, it's not a vampire, but a human and it is all captured on video.Soon, the video goes viral and two of the most overeager FBI agents since the knuckleheads in "Die Hard" raid Whistler's hideout. Whistler, who was resurrected for "Blade II" gets knocked off quickly as he destroys his computers to prevent them being taken. It's an unceremonious end for Kris Kristofferson, who must have seen the full script and requested to be written out early.Blade is captured by the FBI, who then get usurped by local police chief Vreede (Martin Berry) and police psychiatrist Dr. Vance (an excellent John Michael Higgins). They, of course, are familiars who try to hand Blade off to head vampire Danica Talos (Posey).Blade is saved, however, by the timely entrances of Hannibal King (a funny Ryan Reynolds) and Abigail (Jessica Biel, who can't rise above eye candy status). The trio fights their way out of the police station and escape to the safe house of the Night Stalkers, a young group of modern-day vampire hunters, led by Abigail, Whistler's illegitimate daughter.Danica Talos, meanwhile, unearths Dracula (a wooden Dominic Purcell) in hopes he will take care of Blade, so they can implement their so- called "final solution."While the plot plays out like a potentially good action flick, David Goyer's direction and script hamper things quite a bit. It's a shock from the man who gave us "Dark City" and would soon introduce the Dark Knight trilogy.Reynolds as Hannibal King is funny, with plenty of great one-liners. However, he doesn't get the chance to develop further than his humor and can't come off as an effective vampire fighter. His scene at the end taking on Jarko Grimwood (wrestler Triple H) isn't believable at all.Biel is worse. Goyer does little for her other than make her as eye candy for the teen boys and young male adults. She's supposed to be hip because she listens to New Age music when she fights. Yet, Abigail Whistler also is underdeveloped. Her emotional outburst upon finding one of her fellow Night Stalkers dead is forced.The vampires are embarrassingly lame. Dracula (aka Drake) does almost nothing and is not threatening in the least. He kills some idiot store clerk and bites the clerk's girlfriend, supposedly to let the world know he's back, but we never hear of the deaths after this. He kills Vance, wounds King and tries to kill a baby before running away from Blade. Even in the climactic fight against Blade, he transforms into his true creature form but the costume (worn by stuntman Brian Steele) appears to hamper the fighting moves.Posey as Talos is just plain awful. Her acting is as wooden as a stake. Her costumes and hairstyles are hideous and it seems her fangs don't fit right during the whole movie.Callum Rennie as her brother, Asher, could have been left on the editing room floor without the audience being the wiser. Triple H's Jarko Grimwood had little to do but sneer.The rest of the cast was wasted, the exception being Eric Bogosian as Bentley Tittle, one of those conspiracy theorist talk show hosts. He only appears in the unrated edition in the prelude to Blade's opening action scene but gives more character acting than just about anyone else in the film.Finally, we have Blade. Wesley Snipes had the chance to grow as a character in the second movie. This time, though, he is forced to take a back seat to Reynolds and Biel. This is like Batman giving way to Robin and Batgirl (and we all know how that turned out). Snipes reportedly was moody and distant on set, though one could hardly blame him as it was clear the studio wanted to highlight the younger actors for a planned spin-off (seen among the deleted scenes of the DVD).The Night Stalkers are rather one-note, with Sommerfield (Natasha Lyonne) and Hedges (a wasted Patton Oswalt) getting a wisp of character building. When they all bite the dust, there is little emotion felt.The so-called Final Solution is revealed and then quickly discarded, never to be visited again, making Danica's whole reason for bringing Dracula back completely wasted.Blade being set up by Danica comes across as fake, too. We know from the first two movies that Blade and vampires can easily tell human familiars from vampires. Blade shoots a guy in the back with a silver stake and then wonders why they guy doesn't turn to ash, making Blade come off like a moron.Overall, "Blade: Trinity" is a big let-down. It's not the one-star so many other reviewers give it nor is it the superior sequel overly devoted fans believe it to be.It's just a disappointing sequel in a series where we expected to see Blade's character continue to grow while facing an even more dangerous threat. Goyer doesn't deliver. Fans wanted a big sendoff and were disappointed. Studio heads wanted a younger audience and a spin-off and were disappointed.Best word to describe "Blade: Trinity" -- Disappointing.

Blade, now a wanted man by the FBI, must join forces with the Nightstalkers to face his most challenging enemy yet: Dracula. Blade Trinity is the final installment of the Trilogy and the weakest for many fans and critics but the problem is that critics didn't like the first film or even the superior sequel Blade 2 which remains the best of the 3 in my opinion with the hand to hand combat. Now Blade 3 i didn't mind the corny humor or the bad language that comes once in a while because it worked pretty well most of the humor came from Ryan Reynolds which pretty much plays Deadpool in here and Jessica Biel was one hell of a badass chick as for Wesley Snipes he is Blade simple as that there's no TV Series or anything that they made after this he still wants to make Blade 4 and studios should let him do it. Is this better than Blade II? No but i think it comes somewhere close at 2nd but i really don't remember the first one so i can't really say the only thing that i didn't like from this film is some of the cgi was kinda out of place and that scene when Dracula went inside the shop and killed the owners that was kinda lame but i found the acting from the 3 leading actors to be pretty cool, the villain looked pretty scary as for the rest of the cast i found Triple H to be the most interesting character in my opinion and the blind lady alongside Kris Kristofferson were easily 2 of the most saddest deaths in the whole movie the worst character by far was John Michael Higgins not a perfect movie but i was entertained a lot.

I used to hate Blade Trinity and whereas it grew a bit on me with time and I am no longer a hater, it still remains a mega disappointment.The movie is nicely filmed and its premise is interesting, as the near-extinct vampires go find their patriarch, Dracula, to help them fight Blade. Also liked the idea of Blade getting hunted by humans after he mistakenly killed one, having been set-up.The worst of the worst as to be the two new heroes. Hannibal King spends the whole movie cracking one-liners and it gets old very quickly, especially in a Blade movie where what you do not want to get is HUMOR. Blade is not a funny comic and shame on David Goyer for not getting that.Then you get Abigail Whistler. The fact that she would listen to her iPod while fighting vampires tells you how low-grade this movie has been turned into by David Goyer. It's already a FAIL to have a human beat up a vampire but to make it worst, it had to be a hot girl and she can take on many at the same time while listening to music. Absurd as hell, makes you want to throw something at your TV.These nightcrawlers' biggest achievement is to make vampires look extra-weak and to make Blade useless since they can dispatch vampires with such ease themselves. All in all, the movie itself becomes irrelevant after both vampires and Blade become obsolete.The bad guy himself looks more like a pimp or drug dealer than anything else and does not have the strong screen presence that Frost or Nomak had in the previous two movies. We actually barely see him until the end, except for a strange scene where he supposedly wants to see what Blade can do and for that purpose, runs away...?!? This all results in Wesley Snipes becoming a support cast in a Blade movie, which made many angry for good reason. Snipes gave life to an otherwise little known comic and he did not deserve such a bad movie and bad role to end the trilogy. Shame on Goyer and the studio for that.This being said, the final fight does work despite all the flaws leading to it, and this is what mostly saves the movie from total failure and absurdity. I also enjoy the new Danica Talos character, played successfully by Parker Posey. Most visuals are nice as is the camera work.This is somewhere between 3 and 4 out of 10 but at the moment of writing this review, I feel for the upside after seeing again the final fight. I do hope, though, that Blade gets another shot at the big screen at some point, this time with a director who has a clue and who will take the character seriously.
