Blade: Trinity
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.

Best movie of this year hands down!
You won't be disappointed!
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
After see BLADE and BLADE II someone expected a great-ass-punch-kicking finale for the trilogy right? WRONG!...This what happen when studio interference and put unlikeable characters.Everybody knows that BLADE is loner (Whistler make the weapons) and we love the character because of that he don't have to give explanations to nobody but in this movie they introduce 2 new characters that nobody likes or care.And that's is the big problem,you don't want that characters there and the movie become a some kind of FAMILY fail reunion and that a shame.Stay with part I and II because compare with this movie that movies look like THE GODFATHER and THE GODFATHER part 2 compare with this crap.
Blade: Trinity (2004): Dir: David S. Goyer / Cast: Wesley Snipes, Kris Kristofferson, Jessica Biel, Ryan Reynolds, Parker Posey: About as much fun as having indigestion and three times as stupid as the average vampire film. Half human half vampire Blade is caught on camera after slaying numerous vampires but one victim happened to be human. Dracula is resurrected to bring immortality to vampires and to destroy Blade. Amounts to 90% violence where director David S. Goyer sets out to do nothing more than showcase various ways to kill vampires. Special effects freely replace story for any writing ability given was surely sidelined by the action. Wesley Snipes again plays Blade who slays vampires even though he is half vampire himself. Kris Kristofferson returns as Blade's aid in his war against vampires. Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds enter and free Blade when he is in police custody. Biel is Kristofferson's daughter but she is really there for sex appeal. Reynolds is there for comic relief although the only thing funny here is that he felt this was a good career move. Parker Posey isn't exactly making a big leap forward with this crap either. None of the performances spark much flair and they could have been replaced by puppets from Sesame Street. While the special effects work, this is still mindless junk that someone should ram a stake through. Score: 1 / 10
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.
When it becomes apparent that staying in the shadows while engaging in the war with the vampires might be impossible, Blade forms an alliance with a motley crew of hunters to battle his largest and most dangerous enemy yet.There was a lot to really like with this one. The main thing to like here is similar to what worked so well in the previous entry, the fact that the majority of time this one plays up as an action movie so there's a ton of impressive scenes here. The opening warehouse assault is quite impressive and offers an explosive opening dealing with the fleeing vampires and leads into the full-throttle car-chase that ends up starting this very well, the FBI raid on the hideout to capture him or the great fun of the resulting rescue attempt as there's a fine flurry of explosive gun-play and shootouts to go along with the hand-to-hand brawling which gives this one some really enjoyable scenes. The later hunting scenes of the group going out for their individual stalking scenes and getting their information gets some nice action as well, and the utter fun of the foot-chase through the city streets in broad daylight culminating with mad racing through the apartment complexes that causes this to come off as fun. Still, the biggest scene here is the finale which is the incredibly fun and exciting raid on the vampire hideout, which has a ton of action in the actual brawling and beating before the break-in and tactual rescue forcing the long-winded series of brawls, gunfights and weaponry tactics throughout the building as everyone involved gets plenty of time to shine battling against the vampires while setting up the showdown fight at the end. This is a really impressive scene that goes from a high-flying sword-fight to letting them throw each other around with superhuman abilities and finally down to a great hand-to-hand brawl which gives this one such a fine pace here that comes from all this action. Along with this action, there's a rather enjoyable series of story lines here that gives this a really strong feel, from the vampires setting him up with the authorities, the appearance of the hunters coming to rescue him, the plans for the vampire plague and even their version of a harvestable blood bank all come together here to keep this moving along just right. Combined with the violence and gore, these here hold this nicely for the few minor flaws here. The main issue here is the fact that the main villain isn't really all that threatening here as there's really only one true scene here that gives us any real reason to fear him while he trends to spend the majority of the time here giving grandiose speeches about his reign and history through the ages instead, and it really makes it hard to feel fear for the main villain in such a manner. As well, there's also a pretty big flaw here in how much comedy is here, as not only is the introduction of it at this stage of the franchise slightly curious to being with but most troubling about it is the widespread use. The sarcastic quips aren't so bad, but much of the other comments here come off as trying too hard to be funny when it really isn't and really tends to make this too hit-or-miss to be consistently funny. Again, there's some troublesome CGI, but overall this ends the series on a fine note.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.
