Vampires have finally found the patriarch of their bloodline, known to some as Dracula and to others as Drake, the lord of the undead has been awakened to help usher in the vampires’ final solution to the human problem. The only thing standing between the hordes of the undead and their ultimate victory is the daywalker, Blade. This time, however, Blade will need the help of a new group of hunters known as the Nightstalkers if he is to put an end to the vampire menace once and for all. Putting all their faith in a new biological weapon, Blade and the Nightstalkers will enter into battle for perhaps the last time, with the first vampire.

The third and supposed last chapter in the Blade franchise is a full throttle action/horror hybrid that will delight most but disappoint some. Blade Trinity has a lot going for it and at times a lot going against it. So for here are the pros and cons of it.

Pros:
Ryan Reynolds, simply put the single most enjoyable aspect of this whole movie. As Hannibal King, a member of the Nightstalkers, Reynolds is fantastic, every second he was on screen I thoroughly enjoyed. This is truly Reynold's breakout role, forget Van Wilder or that Pizza Place sitcom, this is where Reynolds belongs.

Closure, Blade: Trinity gives the story arc an ending, which is something not seen anymore, yes it still leaves room for sequels, but it sends the character to a place where he can return from in a realistic way.

Parker Posey, as the truly vampy Talos, Parker is great in her role as a vindictive and spoiled vampire vixen and she looks incredible.

Jessica Biel's bare midriff and the fact she wears skin tight low rider jeans, ‘nuff said.

The fights, as always in Blade flicks, excellent and harsh.

Cons:
Plot holes, and big ones. One minute our heroes are at their base, the next they are at a human processing factory, the how and why is never answered.

Wesley Snipes's teeth, thinking back this is actually a problem in all of the Blade films but in this one it is real noticeable, they are to big for his mouth and in one of his speeches, I kept wanting him to lick his lips so the damn things would quit slurring his speech.

Triple H, the WWE star plays a good role as an enforcer vampire, but why does he have metal fangs?

Dracula/Drake, as the main and head villain the character is just bland, and that scene at the Hot Topic store, ugh. He does, however, look great in his true form.

The Nightstalkers's special weapons look like toy guns left over from that Megaforce movie, and the energy arch thing, c'mon.

Slow motion walking, every other scene has a slow motion walk sequence with the Stalkers and Blade looking uber cool and bad ass, I guess director David Goyer just found out about this film technique.

Blade's powers, he seems to be able to glide and float at times in this one, I guess with each movie he gets a few new powers and tattoos.

If you liked Blade or Blade 2, then Trinity is not going to disappoint you, but I felt it was kinda weak, good but weak. My main problem was the ending, if the secret weapon does what it was supposed to do, then... well wait to you see it. But without a doubt Reynolds and Biel are ready for a spin off movie and that has a lot of potential in itself.

5/10

A great film, and definitely a worthy ending or addition to the Blade family of flicks. This series has been one of my favorite action/horror titles ever. As for Prime’s review, I can say that I unequivocally agree with his “Pros” but have a few problems with the “Cons.”

First, Ryan Reynolds was great, I hear bitching here and there about his comedy relief in Blade: Trinity and my take is this. Reynolds is known for his sharp, witty, sarcastic brand of humor, and anyone who casts him in a role and doesn’t cash in on his talent at humor is just plain stupid. He was cracking one-liners here and there throughout the movie, and it was a welcome addition and not a distraction.

Parker Posey was great, she was cast perfectly, and threw her own patented little “Posey’isms” all over the place. She looked fabulous as the vampiress Danica, and added a bit of macabre humor where it was warranted.

Jessica Biel was great as Whistler’s daughter Abigail, and with Blade: Trinity and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre she seats herself firmly amongst horror’s best female ass kickers.

The fight scenes were spectacular, and gone were the requisite CG fight sequences that I always thought cheapened the Blade flicks by making them cartoony in a video game sense. The CGI used in Blade: Trinity was applied with a restrained hand. That’s not to say there wasn’t a lot of it. But it was used in situations where CGI is a better option for quality in the SFX department. Add the fact that Drake looked very cool in his “monstrous” form, so overall I was a happy camper.

I didn’t see, or I wasn’t critical of plot holes, the human processing factory was cool, and explained a lot, and how they found it wasn’t far fetched or contrived. It was a standard movie type lead.

Snipes’ teeth were pretty freakin’ annoying, and I couldn’t help thinking of Matt Dillon in Something About Mary I mean, his teeth were huge and distracting to his appearance and his speech. On the subject of teeth, you need to relax Prime. HHH’s teeth were like silver plated with diamonds and stuff. I mean, bling bling is a big part of society now is it not?

I also happened to dig the scene in which Drake comes upon a “Goth” type store selling vampire novelties. It seemed to be a dig at the crowds of Goth kids who’ve embraced the vampire mythos as a way to get attention, and I found it quite humorous.

Needless to say, I loved the flick, and will happily add it to the other Blade DVD’s in my collection. In the grand scheme of things, my preference for the Blade movies is this. Blade II is my favorite, followed by this Blade:Trinity, and finally the original Blade is last.

I enjoyed this movie for the most part but it’s the one I liked the least out of the three. Reynolds was my favorite, no surprise there. I had to roll my eyes at Biel’s shower scene. “Oh look Abigail has issues, she should go get naked in the shower and look sad.” Please. Also as asskicking as the Nightstalkers were, I don’t think you could out-martial arts a vampire no matter how in shape you are.

I didn’t notice Blade’s teeth because I was too busy noticing Posey’s giant face altering teeth and really bad hair. I love Parker Posey but she often has bad hair.

After watching this movie I can somewhat understand Snipes’ attitude towards the studio. Blade just didn’t look as badass as he normally does. Really it was almost as if he was there as an afterthought.

The CG was indeed restrained and good, the fight scenes were good but I thought there was too much picked up and dropped during the movie. What about the Feds? The other plants? The little girl? And what the hell did the ending monologue mean? He will sleep until he is needed? But he wasn’t asleep! WTF? Don’t even get me started on the physics of a compound bow.

5 out of 10 times I cursed the Fox network for canceling “John Doe” every time Dominic Purcell came on screen. Yeah I just can’t let that go.

The first time I watched it, I liked two things about this movie: Ryan Reynolds and Parker Posey.

Ryan is funny as hell, I loved every scene he was in. And I think it's fair to say that all women will agree with me when I say that even if he was as funny as a brick wall, he's still awful nice to look at.

Parker Posey is always an awesome badass. She has the ability to be really funny, and then remind us that she's a terrible character with the blink of an eye.

Other than that, I found the movie to be kind of dull, and definitely the weakest of the three. I then watched it with commentary from the director, Ryan Reynolds, and Jessica Biel, and it made me enjoy it a bit more. Honestly, I think I enjoyed the movie quite a bit more with the commentary on.

I'd give the movie a 4, and the movie with commentary a 7, simply for gaining the knowledge that William Shatner made a movie in a made up language meant to bring all of the world's languages together.
