Blade: Trinity Trailers

For years, Blade has fought against the vampires in the cover of the night. But now, after falling into the crosshairs of the FBI, he is forced out into the daylight, where he is driven to join forces with a clan of human vampire hunters he never knew existed—The Nightstalkers. Together with Abigail and Hannibal, two deftly trained Nightstalkers, Blade follows a trail of blood to the ancient creature that is also hunting him—the original vampire, Dracula.

After watching the first 2 installments I must say I did not have any real expectations from the third one,but I was surprised!Many of the things that made the previous movies lacking,this one had them gone or improved.For starters there we have better dialogue.Dialogue that actually makes sense,not wannabe badass pointless phrases here and there just to break the silence.Also,the addition of Ryan put some nice humor in the mix,a small cynical element that made everything more interesting and catchy!Second,the music was far better than in the previous movies,especially in the second half.I admit that we still have some plot holes and uncontinuities but you can't have everything in this life!We had something new in the scenario.For a change,nobody wanted Blade's blood.In the previous film we had a vampire villain that turned against his race and hierarchy,Blade was drawn into action,but that action served only as a means for the real plan to take effect,which was to capture Blade and drain him.Here,we did not have that.The villain was against Blade and humanity.While he did not turn on his own people,he was different than them,the very first of his kind.He was a character with personality,not that same old trying to be badass,tricky,ruthless,sinister piece of garbage who will do anything and sacrifice anyone in order to succeed,no...That guy had a code of honor.The battle choreographies were much better.No silliness and no childish maneuvers that seemed totally fake and lame.This action got pumped!!We had a thrilling chase through buildings and rooftops,a nice change from always running in sewers and underground filthy clubs.The villain's group was also better.With the exception of Asher who seemed to be out of place and unnecessary most of the time,the others played a nice role into this.The visual effects were also better!I am happy that the end of this trilogy offered me this experience.I will have a nice picture of Blade in my mind now!As I mentioned there were some small plot holes,like in one scene a vamp suffers from a punch but in the next,the same vamp gets his arm broken and gets instantly healed no problem.Another thing I believe could have been better was the ending.Two things: a)The virus thing could have worked out a bit better.I expected something smarter. b)The way the villain died was OK I guess,it could certainly be better.And since the good guys won,they could have showed us how they moved on from there.A change for Blade maybe,not only keeping partners,but starting to show a bit of emotion,like maybe reply to one of Ryan's jokes or something.It could have finished with a better ending seen with the three of them,instead of Blade again being alone hunting.And there was an after the credits scene.Nothing much,as to add anything to the story,but it was fun.In total,a 7 out of 10!!Way to go!!

The third in the Blade series is the least of the three (lacking the originality of the first and the atmosphere of the second), but it does set out to deliver on what it promises, which is non-stop ass-kicking action. Filled with fluid flash-cuts, tons of martial arts choreography, camera tricks and slow motion, all set to a pumping soundtrack, this is an adrenaline-fuelled thrill-ride which offers plenty of entertainment if you're happy to disengage the brain whilst watching. The plot is as shallow as ever, but offers plenty of excellent chases and fights to keep you watching. Highlights include the opening vampire massacre, the police station escape and my favourite moment, the Blade/Dracula chase sequence which is unbelievable in places in the best tradition. My only problem with the movie is that the finale is very clichéd and contrived, just a series of hand-to-hand battles in the vampire headquarters which are just like what closed the last two movies in the series.Snipes returns to the fore and is far more likable here than before for some reason. Newcomers Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel are less than welcome as his new associates, the former's attempts to be a funnyman failing every time. Dracula's heavy shoes are filled by Dominic Purcell, who looks like that guy who you play in DOOM on steroids, and he's absolutely wicked. The only real miscasting is in Parker Posey's vampire queen; I don't know who this Posey girl is, but she's completely lame here and a real misjudgement. Wrestler Triple H is imposing as a bad guy, whilst Asian beauty Francoise Yip and usual heavy James Remar are fun in more minor parts.Being a 15 certificate, this film is noticeably less bloody and violent than before, which is sometimes annoying. You soon realise that you never get to see anyone clearly drive home the kill, instead everything is rushed in with loads of cool special effects to make you think you saw it. There's one good scene where Snipes snaps an arm but that's about all there is. CGI is perhaps kept to a minimum here unlike before, but still, the effects are great (especially Dracula in his true form) and there's plenty of black comedy to keep things moving along – loved the gag with the dog(s). The soundtrack is one of the finest things this film has to offer. Although less violent than we've seen before, this outing is just as dark as the rest and a fine combination of martial arts action with bloodsucking horror.

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.

This is the very first Marvel Movie I saw in theaters back in 2004 and it still one of the best times I had at the theaters. It's one of those films in a series that I look at the good and ignore the bad. Also Blade Trinity was how I discover IMDb in 2005 and while I have been on the site ever since so as part of my ten year anniversary I'm reviewing Blade:Trinity Yes I know this movie got a bad rap but I still love it since I saw it in theaters. The plot this time features Blade (Wesley Snipes) must team up with Hannibal King (Ryan Reynolds) and Abigail Whistler (Jessica Biel) as they do battle against Drake (Dominic Purcell), Danica Talos (Parker Posey), Asher Talos (Callum Keith Rennie) and Jarko Grimwood (Triple H)I feel Blade Trinity is actually a good action comic book movie because it features a lot more than people give it credit for.The action scenes in the film are top notch as you see many fights throughout this movie and the stunts are pretty intense and some of the most out of control scenes that make you go I can't believe that. Also the film does feature some emotional scenes that I remember everyone in the theater was silence throughout that really is not something you see all the time any more. Plus there are some good performances in the film Plus there is a good soundtrack for the film along with the score that helps tell the story of the movie. Now the film does have it share of comedy some weak some that make you laugh so hard along with one scene I remember everyone in the theater clap Back to the film the movie is just driven by action and tense movements that you won't see coming even while watching Blade:Trinity also it still a better vampire film Seriously give Blade:Trinity a try you might be surprised with how much it's better then you thought it would be plus the film feature cool one liners With tense moments, superb action scenes and actually one of Marvel's most interesting films you will actually come to enjoy it I give Blade:Trinity an 9 out of 10
