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

The picture and sound are great, but this is the theatrical version of the film, not the extended director's cut.

This movie is a bit different than the two previous.i won't get into
specifics.lets just say they took a different tact with this one.to say
any more would give away too much of the plot.it is still a Blade
movie,and Wesley Snipes still plays the title role.however,we have a
few new characters added to the mix this time.Ryan Reynolds plays a
prominent role as does Jessica Biel.indie film favourite Parker Posey
also appears in the film,a rare foray into mainstream for her.the story
this time out has less depth than Blade 2 has,focusing more on style
than substance.However,the villain is very strong in this film,a worthy
adversary for Blade,and a well written character.there are more gadgets
this time around.this should be the last of the Blade Franchise.if
so,it is a fitting end to the series.the changes to the film could be
construed as negative,however i prefer to think of it more as the
natural evolution of both Blade,the character and the series.this film
is a good incarnation for the series.i would have to give this one 4/5
