Average Rating: 4.4/10

Consensus: The latest Blade flick is getting a little long in the tooth; critics call it bloodless, dull, rusty, and an assortment of other puns.

Rated: R [See Full Rating] for strong pervasive violence and language, and some sexual content.

Runtime: 2 hrs 3 mins

Genre: Action/Adventure

Theatrical Release: Dec 8, 2004 Wide

Box Office: $52,397,389

A ramped-up techno soundtrack bleats out adrenaline-pumping action tunes while leather-clad vampire slayers smash through walls and floors and ceilings, break windows with their bodies, and occasionally defy gravity. Cascades of flying glass sparkle in the air and crimson pools of blood shine on the floors of warehouse dens where the hungry creatures hide. This is BLADE: TRINITY, the third installment of the film series adapted from Marvel comics. Here, a new challenge faces the preternaturally sharp hunter, Blade (Wesley Snipes), when a group of vamps resurrect the long-slumbering "Drake" (Dominic Purcell)--the ancient and all-powerful Count Dracula--and Blade meets the ultimate opponent. Teaming up with the Nightstalkers, a group of similar-minded hunters led by tough slayer-hottie Abigail (Jessica Biel) and her joke-a-minute partner Hannibal (Ryan Reynolds), Blade is ready for battle. However, Drake's handlers are an unruly bunch themselves, with sassy goth wench Danica (Parker Posey in a wonderfully exaggerated performance) doing her best to make things as unpleasant as possible. What's more, while Danica's vamp team is harvesting homeless people for their blood, the Nightstalkers' scientist creates a potion that can not only kill Drake but can take the entire bloodsucking race with him. And thus, David S. Goyer continues the BLADE cinema series, satisfying fans with plenty of the nocturnal monster mystique they so desperately crave. [More]

a move that reeks of market manipulation, a couple of young sidekicks are introduced in a lame attempt to stire the usual formual into something new.

Goyer's film is an entertaining though a hit and miss addition to the franchise.

Are the white movie geeks who make these sci-fi/horror flicks reassuring the white audience by robbing powerful black men of any personality?

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

The film adds nothing much that's new to the annals of creative killing in movies. Just run of the mill mass carnage dressed up to project sexiness and swagger.

Chances are that Goyer's cack-handed direction has killed a franchise he helped birth.

Snipes reprises the lead role and is even stiffer and more robotic that he was in the earlier films.

This visually flat, dramatically incoherent film puts a stake through the heart of the series.

Reynolds, Biel, Posey, and Lyonne amble around a warehouse trying to out-snark one another -- call it Blade: The Real World.

Goyer destrói a série Blade não apenas com sua falta de talento como diretor, mas também graças ao seu péssimo roteiro.
