Blade: Trinity

Oh, if I could just get the time AND money back...

So I've been wanting to see Blade: Trinity ever since I heard it was being produced. I really, really liked Blade 1 and 2. I thought that Blade 2 was just as good as Blade 1, and we all know that sequels are never as good as the originals.

Blade: Trinity only proved that rule. In all aspects possible.

I'm not going to be spoiler heavy in this review, but the most scary thing about this movie was the writing, the story. Seriously.

In the previous movies, Blade was smarter, tactical. In this Blade: Trinity, he's ghetto, resorting to acting like a gangsta with no real plan on what he's doing. The idea that he could be setup by the vampires and start a conflict with humans as much as his current conflict with vampires was a nice idea, but so very poorly executed. Very poorly executed. When the hell did vampires become so weak, so frail? It just seems like anyone with a few good punches or kicks can kill a vampire in this movie and that all vampires about as strong and defenseless as a six year old child.

About the only saving grace for this disaster was some of Ryan Reynolds' (Hannibal King) lines that definitely made me laugh out loud, but those laughs were only in between shots of Blade telling Jessica Biel to "USE IT!", and other shots of Biel's butt, great-looking as it may be.
