Critics Consensus

Louder, campier, and more incoherent than its predecessors, Blade: Trinity seems content to emphasize style over substance and rehash familiar themes.

I'm a great fan of Blade, the Marvel Comics vampire hunter played by Wesley Snipes... But a third episode, Blade: Trinity, directed by David S. Goyer, is a blood fest too far.

The only one who seems to be having much fun, though, is Parker Posey, camping it up as one of the vampires.

Dynamic Duel Podcast

Low-stakes action, nonexistent character development, campy villains, and a sidelined main character make the film feel like it's trying to ice skate uphill.

Rated: 2.5/5

Leave it to Parker Posey to be the best part of two major horror franchises' dismal third entries.

If you are looking for a film with insight and depth, see Sideways. If you are looking for a throwaway guilty pleasure with a bark louder than its bite, this is the movie for you.

It seems like Marvel hates the number "3" because every third film in a series always results in being the worst one. This one lacks everything the first film, even the second (despite me not liking it at all) does well. It has more action with little room for development, plot, or development, which is a formula we see in modern Marvel movies.

Terribler. David S. Goyer is not a good director. Then again, the script for this was atrocious as well. The only good parts came from Ryan Reynolds and I feel like those lines were improvised. Speaking of Reynolds, it's like this was his audition for Deadpool, he is using the same kind of humor here and I'm wondering if he was channeling the character for the character he was playing here. I missed the fun directing during the fight scenes that I had with del Toro's Blade II. This was standard, over stylized drab. Parker Posey's vampire teeth were too big, it affected her entire performance. Meh.

I enjoyed Blade: Trinity more than I thought I would. The action sequences are marginally less campy, the special effects are the best they've been in the trilogy, and Jessica Biel's Abigail Whistler is an absolute aesthetic. The dialogue does impair what is otherwise a fairly solid narrative, with humor that is too on the nose. It's not quite a five-star movie, but I honestly don't know why its ratings are as low as they are. I've seen far worse movies.

Blade was a cool concept when it came out, but I think too many elements are trying to get juggled here and they don't work together that well. Even Reynolds' tone seems less frenetic than other movies he has done. Purnell was cool, but ultimately didn't seem like that big of a threat. Snipes does his schtick well, but I don't think the Blade character was meant to have sidekicks...
