Iraq, oggi: un commando di vampiri localizza un antico tempio sumerico dove si presume sia sepolto il progenitore della loro specie: la missione di risvegliare l’antica creatura riesce ma a caro prezzo.. in effetti il piano del consiglio di amministrazione della Vampires Inc., dopo essere riuscito a risolvere definitivamente il problema della sete vuole utilizzare la creatura semimitologica per distruggere il loro ultimo nemico “naturale”: Blade, il Diurno. Per fare questo, i vampiri decidono di ricorrere agli esseri umani per incastrare l’ultima minaccia alla loro esistenza, e il loro piano riesce bene, fino a quando una cellula di un’organizzazione segreta chiamata “Nightstalkers” interviene a liberare il cacciatore di vampiri… Dopo “Van Helsing” il piano di distruzione dell’antica figura di Dracula per mezzo degli horror all’acqua di rose del nuovo millennio continua... adesso è il momento dello scontro finale: il Principe delle Tenebre contro il Principe dei Tamarri! Ebbene sì.. casinista, fracassone, assurdo e spudoratamente copiato dai videoclip di MTV: ecco come può essere definito in breve il capitolo conclusivo (speriamo…) della peggior trilogia vampiresca di sempre, un finale con il botto! In effetti il terzo capitolo si permette di tirare in ballo niente meno che Dracula in persona (chiamato familiarmente “Drake”), che più di un nobile mitteleuropeo vestito con abiti del secolo diciannovesimo, qui viene ritratto a metà strada fra un Predator (mascellone estraibile multiprensile ed estensibile) e un Gremlin troppo cresciuto (rossiccio e con spine sulla schiena): Bela Lugosi, che si fece seppellire col costume del personaggio a cui doveva la sua celebrità, si starà rivoltando nella tomba… La trama è piena di errori ed assurdità in maniera imbarazzante, tantochè il film nella sua completezza assomiglia ad un blooper continuo: ci sono i vampiri in Iraq sponsorizzati dalla Dainese (con i guanti da motociclista e la famosa lorica per la protezione della schiena, indossata Sopra la tuta mimetica!!); i vampiri uccisi dagli abbaglianti della Mustang Mach I tamarrata del protagonista (!!!); la sequenza in cui l’unico umano della banda viene attaccato da Blade (casualmente!); la scena della fuga dal quartier generale dell’FBI (vero capolavoro di cretinaggine di sceneggiatura); la “trovata” di affidare i monitor del perimetro della base dei nightstalker all’unica cieca disponibile, fino alla scena in cui Blade, affiancato da due nightstalkers armati fino ai denti, cammina tranquillo per il centro della città, dove nessuno chiama la polizia nonostante il cacciatore di vampiri sia considerato l’uomo più ricercato al mondo!! Meglio non procedere oltre…. L’interpretazione di Wesley Snipes è standard, colpisce cioè per l’inespressività da paresi facciale (tanto da far impallidire il vecchio Chuck Norris). Purtroppo bisogna constatare che tale blocco dei muscoli massillo-facciali in questo film contagia anche la pur brava (e già vista nel remake di “Non aprite quella porta”) Jessica Biel, che qui interpreta la parte della figlia segreta del “vate” di Blade, Abraham Whistler, naturalmente molto segreta perché nei film precedenti si spiegava solo che la sua famiglia era stata sterminata dai vampiri… Ad aggiungere risibilità al film è la spiegazione dell’altro nightstalker, Hannibal King, sul motivo che lo ha spinto ad unirsi all’organizzazione di ammazzavampiri: praticamente l’amministratore delegato della Vampires Inc., la Vampirozza Punkozza, non gliela dava!!! E’ importante sottolineare le peculiarità dell’organizzazione dei “Nightstalkers”, mutuata dalla famosa organizzazione terroristica “Al Qaida”: cellule dormienti che si attivano all’insaputa delle altre… inoltre i simpaticoni, utilizzando dei fondi neri (non si capisce di chi..) sono dediti alla produzione di armi di distruzione di massa: stanno infatti utilizzando dei batteri geneticamente modificati per sterminare i vampiri! E naturalmente nessuno pensa ai rischi di immettere nell’aria un’arma batteriologica per uccidere degli esseri affini all’uomo… ma d’altronde stiamo parlando di “Blade Trinity”, non de ”L’Esercito delle 12 scimmie”! Nel cast (s)figura anche tale Jarko Grimwood (Triple H in arte..), wrestler che interpreta un vampiro particolarmente nerboruto con ben quattro canini d’oro (problemi di carie?): personaggio evidentemente mutuato da “Squalo”, il famoso nemico di James Bond nei film di 007 degli anni ’70 che al confronto di Snipes sembra quasi un attore… A rafforzare l’impressione di casino totale di questa pellicola contribuisce purtroppo la già citata colonna sonora sparata a battello dall’impianto THX del vostro cinema preferito, che stordisce il povero spettatore, così come il trucchetto della fotografia “stroboscopica”, usato durante le scene di combattimenti, per accelerare ancora di più il bordello che avviene senza un senso e senza cervello di fronte alla telecamera… angosciante!

It might (barely) have gotten one more star if it hadn’t been the third one in the Blade trilogy. As such it has some mighty good movies to live up to and that it doesn’t.

This time David S Goyer took to both write and direct the movie. I guess he should have stuck to script writing or something. The action scenes are not too bad. However, that’s all there is. Just a string of actions scenes barely strung together.

The worst offence of them all is Dracula. When I first learned that they brought in Dracula as the chief nemesis I thought that sounded cool. Wrong! Apart from a fairly cool look when he get really pissed off the film’s portrayal of Dracula is a joke. It’s an insult to the Dracula legends.

To sum it up, it’s 2 hours of not too bad action but a disappointment as a Blade movie.

After watching all 3 of the Blade movies in a row, it gives a lot of perspective. The first was before all the Marvel boxoffice stuff took off, the second was having some Reaper stuff which was cool, but Trinity was the best in the series for sure. It needs better writing as Snipes has attested. We can tone down the Deadpool a bit and have more Wesley being a badass and not trail off into side projects. Whistler's family origins type things as well as Hannibal King's, but focusing more on Blade because he seriously can carry the whole film like he should have been doing since day 1.

When a horror movie has to resort to vampire dogs, you know they're completely out of ideas. That's the least stupid part of Blade Trinity.

Blade: Trinity completes the Blade trilogy in cinematic grandeur, and brings about Dracula, an inevitable source in almost every Vampire franchise ever conceived of.

It was refreshing to have the "Elder" ruling-class/vampire-nation-lord/shadow-council thing dropped, since they were in both Blade and Blade II, and in both movies they were completely killed off, and ignored the existence of each other. Instead we have a group of happy-go-lucky vamps, who have one way or another made a mark in the world. You never find out how they managed to buy a skyscraper and a museum's worth of ancient art, but I'd imagine they had quite a lot of time to get their finances in order.

Anyway, deal is these vamps, right? Danica Talos (Posey "Queen of the Indies" Parker; Scream 3, A Mighty Wind), her brother Asher Talos (Callum Keith Rennie; Case 39, The X-Files: I Want To Believe), Jarko Grimwood (wrestler Paul "Triple H" Levesque), and their offsider vampires go to Syria in order to dig up the slumbering Dracula (Dominic Purcell; Straw Dogs, Blood Creek)... Or Drake... Or Dagon... They keep changing their mind. Anyway, after Dracula kills a bunch of them, he eventually agrees to join the team after he hears about the defender of humanity Blade (Wesley Snipes; New Jack City, Chaos) whom he believes may be a worthy adversary. Blade in turn gets together with the vampire hunting cell called "Nightstalkers", led by Abigail Whistler (Jessica Biel; the The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Cellular) and Hannibal King (Ryan Reynolds; Waiting..., Buried) and together they continue the war for humankind.

With me so far? No? Well you should be, because this plot is about as run of the mill as they get. While I'm on that, it's worth pointing out that where Blade's saving grace was this awesome mythos and story, and totally failed at character-ing, Blade: Trinity had fantastically written characters, in a sort of non-event storyline. Where Blade II blended them, making it the best in the series. Trinity was okay, but it lacked a lot of the engaging elements from the previous two films.

I think in part this is because the film is meant to sort of cater to the cinema audience. After the success of Blade II, it's like they knew that people were going to go to the theatre for Trinity so they tailored the film accordingly. You know, just little things, cheesy lines come across in a way more badass way on the big screen. Montages can get tedious on the computer, but can often blow you away in theatres. Explosions and action and CG backflips always translate better in cinema than on DVD. Unfortunately, I own the DVD, not a cinema. Maybe the goddamn vampire pomeranian they threw in would've seemed less ridiculous if I'd seen Trinity when it came out in theatres, but I doubt it.

I'd like to bring up the issue of names. Not that people have unbelievably crazy names in these films, it's the' Super Hero genre after all, of course they've got stupid names! I love it! But the Blade series seems to be populated entirely by characters with the "Saying Names" fetish. It's all "Hannibal King! Die", "Blade! There you are", "Whistler! Come save us." "Drake! It's him" and gets pretty unbelievably dramatic rather swiftly.

It'll be interesting to see how Ryan Reynolds fairs. This Marvel film came out quite a while ago, since then he's played Wade Wilson in Origins: Wolverine, Green Lantern for DC Films, he was the protagonist in R.I.P.D. He's set to return to the X-Men universe for Deadpool. I suppose if Chris Evans can get away with playing The Human Torch in Fantastic 4 and Rise of the Silver Surfer then move on to playing Captain America in The First Avenger I don't see why Reynolds can't pull it off. Hannibal was great, Ryan Reynolds is great but I'd be fine to see this be the end of it all here.

TRINITY is not a good movie, instead it is a solid "Blade" movie -- meaning, if you are not already a fan, don't bother. Snipes no longer plays Blade for humor, as he did in the first Blade

All 3 Blade movies are awesome in my opinion. This one is my favorite out of the series. It introduced at the time a different type and kind of vampire. This is movie is freakin' awesome.

"Blade" (Wesley Snipes) is now alone - surrounded by enemies bent on his destruction. Then, as luck would have it, he meets up with the "Nightstalkers", led by former vampire "Hannibal King" (Ryan Reynolds) and "Abigail" (Jessica Biel) who might just have developed a virus that could rid the world of vampires forever. To combat this threat, the vampires raise their king "Drake" (Dominic Purcell) and the battle lines are drawn in the ultimate fight for survival. Snipes is OK as a our leather-clad, mean, moody, hero but actually doesn't seem to feature so much - most of the action is driven by Reynolds who, whilst initially quite sarcastic and witty, rather overplays his hand and soon becomes just a bit too attitudinal; and Biel who appears to be on remote-control for much of her efforts. Purcell makes for quite a decent baddie, as does Parker Posey as "Danica Talos", though at times you do wonder if you should be shouting "boo, hiss" at the telly. There is plenty of fast-paced action throughout, but all in all this is just one, really pretty derivative sequel too many.

<em>'Blade: Trinity'</em> makes for a weak finale to this trilogy. I actually wasn't overly bothered by it whilst watching, though with the end credits I was kinda left wondering what I had just seen - as in it is all quite forgettable. Wesley Snipes remains the star, albeit not as great as before.

The cast is the most fascinating aspect to this film. Jessica Biel, Dominic Purcell, Natasha Lyonne, Patton Oswalt, James Remar and even Triple H show up, and that's not even mentioning the obvious: Ryan Reynolds. A beta test of <em>'Deadpool'</em>, really. That style doesn't quite fit here.

This is also one of those movies that has tasty behind the scenes stuff to read about, who doesn't love that?! It does have the feel of a film that caused disagreement. At least Snipes & Reynolds reconciled for <em>'Deadpool & Wolverine'</em>, because that was cool - even for someone like me who had evidently not seen <em>'Blade'</em>.

I do hope we get that MCU reboot at some point in the future, if only because I reckon Mahershala Ali would kill it as lead; of course he wouldn't at all be able to replicate Snipes, but that's OK. It'd be interesting to see a fresh take on it with a larger budget et al.
