First Review for Blade: Trinity

This was quite a disappointment. Story is all over the place, so many subplots that have no follow up. Dracula is completely underused. And Snipes just seems bored with the role, he didn't even look all that in shape (hence always wearing long sleeves). The other two movies can see he is jacked.

The Nightstalkers were pretty cool. Ryan Reynolds is pretty funny and a badass. Jessica Biel didn't bother as much as I thought. But the rest of their "team" was utterly useless.

Blade is a classic genre film. Nothing can beat that opening rave with the blood shower. I thought Blade II was a bit of a letdown, the CG fiights were way too noticeable. But it was still entertaining.
Blade Trinity is on par with II, I thought, or below it. Easily the worst of the series.

I admit Goyer being a first time director probably adds to this, but he wrote all 3 movies. You'd think he would make this one really kickass.

Decent, nothing to rush out to the theater to see. Could have been a lot better.
