Blade Trinity

Blade TrinityThe Gist: The vampires, in their effort to exert dominion over humanity and Earth, awaken the father of all vampires, Dracula himself.  Blade still stands in their way and this time he’s joined by a group of vampire hunters who call themselves the Nightstalkers.

Third time ain’t the charm for Blade.  Blade Trinity barely manages to match the original in entertainment value.  Sure the visual effects have improved, but ultimately the level of slapstick dooms the threequel.

Jessica Biel plays a good badass and the incredibly hunky Ryan Reynolds brings the eye candy and the laughs.  Snipes does his thing and Dominic Purcell as the most famous vampire of all time is believable, though not terrifying as other Draculas have been.

The Bottom Line: I watched this chapter of the Blade series because I had seen the first two, because the second one was better than the first, and because there wasn’t another one after this one (at least yet).  Ultimately, it doesn’t really make the grade, and it’s mostly for the ardent fans.

Grade: 5
