An Exercise In Nonsense

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The Blade trilogy is a great set of movies and Blade: Trinity does a pretty good job at wrapping the series up.Lets start off with the acting. The acting of this movie is nothing to rave about and is nothing extremely special. There a great performances from the cast and Dracula seemed threatening and imposing. The acting altogether was great from Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel. Wesley Snipes actin at times seemed a bit wooden and stiff.. In the first Blade movie his acting was great and it slowly went down hill from there throughout the trilogy. When we get to this movie his acting doesn't seem like Wesley Snipes but all and seems like another actor altogether and not just at a handful of times.The directing of this movie is alright but some choices that David S. Goyer made seemed odd and unfitting. Some of the transitions between scenes seemed off and poorly done as well which is a shame because the first two blade movies did this well. With David S. Goyer not only writing and directing it made the movie seemed stressful.Now lets look at the character of Blade (Wesley Snipes) himself. Some action scenes seemed taking from him and handed to Abigail whistler (Jessica Biel). This was a shame because Blades action sequences always were the highlight of the movie. That being said the action sequences that we did get were compelling and entertaining and very, very well crafted. The humour of Blade that he had in the first two movies seemed taking from him as well. This time it was handed to Hannibal King (Ryan Reynolds). I am not going to lye Ryan Reynolds is a great actor and handles jokes very well and he made me laugh multiple times in the movie. But because of this Blade had little to no humour left in him which was unfortunate.The action sequences of the movie were incredible though. This movie had some of the best action sequences in the Blade trilogy. The action scenes handled the characters very well and made them look cool doing it. The ending fight with Dracula and Blade was gripping and we got to see Blade action. Unfortunately this was at the end of the movie though. It is one of the best endings to a super hero movie pre 2005 which is saying something.The villain of this movie Dracula (Dominic Purcell) was a great villain. His scenes were intimidating and well made. The scene that I liked most with Dracula was the scene were he stalked the vampire hunters and killed them. This scene was intriguing and left you on the edge of your seat. I didn't feel much sadness for most of the characters that died though but the blind lady I did and her death was saddening and made me like the villain Dracula a little bit more. The reason for this is because we don't see many comic book villains that have the guts to do something that Dracula did on screen.In conclusion this was a very good conclusion of the Blade Trilogy. The humour was great and the action scenes even better. But I did feel that David S. Goyer sort of lost contact with Wesley Snipes and the Blade character though leaving the main character in a strange way. But thanks to a compelling villain this balanced out and Dracula even outweighed the bad at times. With everything considered Blade: trinity gets a 7/10.

After see BLADE and BLADE II someone expected a great-ass-punch-kicking finale for the trilogy right? WRONG!...This what happen when studio interference and put unlikeable characters.Everybody knows that BLADE is loner (Whistler make the weapons) and we love the character because of that he don't have to give explanations to nobody but in this movie they introduce 2 new characters that nobody likes or care.And that's is the big problem,you don't want that characters there and the movie become a some kind of FAMILY fail reunion and that a shame.Stay with part I and II because compare with this movie that movies look like THE GODFATHER and THE GODFATHER part 2 compare with this crap.

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

Honestly I liked this movie. A lot. Was it better than the first two??... No it wasn't; however, it was still a good movie. I liked the new characters and actors. Let's be honest. Nothing will be as good as the first two blades were. The actor who played Dracula, I cannot remember his name at the moment, is one of my favorite actors. Yes I don't think it was right that Wesley Snipes had the extra actors in there because he can hold his own but it was nice to see new people. I remember going out in renting this movie on on DVD and I absolutely loved it when I saw it. I was only 12 when blade Trinity came out. It's still a good action movie, and has a lot of funny dialogue between the characters. The last fight scene between Dracula and Blade was very funny and had a lot of action in it. Overall I give this movie an 8 out of 10.
