While not as exciting as the first two installments, Blade Trinity holds little to be expected. Directed by David S. Goyer, screenwriter for the first two films. Starring Wesley Snipes as Blade, Jessica Biel as Abigail Whistler, Ryan Reynolds as Hannibal King, and Parker Posey as Danica Talos
Our story begins with a group unearthing a creature in Somaria, what the creature is is unknown to the audience. Thus begins the credit/first fight sequence of the film. With Snipes delivering the signature blows to his villians and making the world safer for us humans. Little does he know that the vampires have been plotting to set him up so that he is no longer a threat to them. Blade kills what he thinks to be a vampire and is now wanted by the FBI for murder. Blade gets captured, held for questioning, drained of his strength from drugs, and questioned more.
This leads us to the new additions to the vampire slayers, Abigail Whistler, played by Biel, and Hannibal King, played by Reynolds. Biel's character is a boring one, has a past, but the director felt not to share it with the audience. Reynolds' character is that he used to be a vampire was delivered a serum to make him human again and now hunts the undead. These two enter the FBI building, save Blade and make it out without a scratch.
Once back at their safehouse, they inform Blade of a plan to wipe out all vampires by delivering a virus into the live and well Dracula, played by Dominic Purcell.
You know what, I just got done watching the movie and I can't even bring myself to write a review on it.
While this movie was enjoyable with Reynolds' comic relief in every scene he was in, the rest of the cast seemed clueless as to why they were there. Clearly something that other Blade director's overlooked when dealing with Goyer's writing. If not for the shotty directing, this pile of kitty poo, could've been quite the icing on the cake for anyone following the Daywalker.
Long story short, if you were a fan of the first two and want to see this, go ahead, throw your money down, you'll get some laughs out of it.
If you're new to the Blade storyline, you might be a little confused, but you'll catch on quickly.
Final Grade C-
