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

I hope this is the end, that it's three and out for the Blade franchise.

If ever there was a case for quitting while you're behind, this Blade is it -- ready to be buried in a vat of garlic.

Diverting but dumb and more goth than gothic, Blade: Trinity builds up to a less-than-epochal smackdown.

Watching Blade: Trinity is like being rolled down a marble staircase in an oil drum. The movie is loud, dark, bumpy and not even a little fun.

It all suggests a cinematic identity crisis.

A great film.

To me Blade Trinity deftly dances at the edge of "So bad it's good" territory, staying just on the side of being good.

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.

The surface, the film is stylish without losing its focus, and the gadgets, the settings and the characters all jump to life (as it were) in the cool domain of the extreme scenario.

An action-packed mess from its lackluster, two-pronged opening segments to its final showdown.

Not as grand as the first two, but still entertaining

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 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.
