Reviews Counted:157

Fresh:43

Rotten:114

Average Rating:4.5/10

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

Synopsis: 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... 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]

Blade doesn’t need backup, and in Blade II when he had it, he was happy to feed his backup to the bad guys whenever it suited him.

Aside from the effectively staged action sequences Trinity is cheap-looking and laughably inept.

It's a 'ten-minute movie.' Watching any ten minutes is more than enough.

One dull 'Blade'...even for a vampire series, this one is getting very long in the tooth.

Blade: Trinity begins with the vamps digging up the long-dormant Dracula, who is apparently a Slovakian runway model enamored of bare-chested couture.

David S. Goyer scrapped what made the first two Blade films so much fun and replaced it with a cast and soundtrack that only a 14-year-old mall-rat could love.

Blade: Trinity won't linger in the memory long, but gives pretty good action eye-candy while it's going.

A sad way to end the series--not with a bang, but with a simper.

The movie is present, sexy and fun, but it’s probably time to give this franchise - and Snipes' permanent scowl - a rest.

"Blade: Trinity" is the biggest, baddest and best Blade yet.

Harmless but shallow, cinematic junk food that goes down with ease but has no nutritional value and will be forgotten about almost immediately after devouring it.

Should reasonably please fans of the genre before assuming its place in the horror section of your local video store.

Parker Posey, in a series of increasingly scary hair-dos, [gives] a stumbling, zoned-out performance that could easily be interpreted as a cry for help.

Goyer flounders around like an indecisive movie buff indulging in every special effects-laden trick in the Directing 101 handbook.
