Critics Consensus

Louder, campier, and more incoherent than its predecessors, Blade: Trinity seems content to emphasize style over substance and rehash familiar themes.

I'm a great fan of Blade, the Marvel Comics vampire hunter played by Wesley Snipes... But a third episode, Blade: Trinity, directed by David S. Goyer, is a blood fest too far.

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

2.5/5

Low-stakes action, nonexistent character development, campy villains, and a sidelined main character make the film feel like it's trying to ice skate uphill.

Leave it to Parker Posey to be the best part of two major horror franchises' dismal third entries.

If you are looking for a film with insight and depth, see Sideways. If you are looking for a throwaway guilty pleasure with a bark louder than its bite, this is the movie for you.

Parker Posey steals the entire movie as a snarky vampiress! Director David S. Goyer steps forward from penning Blade and Blade II to actually direct his vampire horror action-thriller sequel Blade: Trinity (2004). Quite simply, this movie is mediocre in many ways and cannot compare to the Gothic majesty of Stephen Norrington’s Blade, nor the action packed entertainment and body horror from Guillermo del Toro’s Blade II. Visually, Goyer is closer to Norrington’s Gothic aesthetic and stylized direction than Guillermo’s creepy horror atmosphere and blazing action glory. Cinematographer Gabriel Beristain is back and returns Blade: Trinity to basics with sleek and stylish form. His wide shots for these quickly panning action shots are neat, but I like his close-up of Parker Posey’s vampire the most. Goyer’s direction keeps smaller character interactions that work, but there’s hardly any cool martial arts or swordplay from Blade until the end. Biel gets cool archery and acrobatic combat.

Blade: Trinity is a fun movie, but easily the weakest of the trilogy for me. My biggest problem is the repeating cycle of Blade's hideout getting destroyed in every movie, and I kept wondering why nobody ever seems prepared for it. I liked the gadgets and technology in this one, though, and honestly, if they had brought those elements into the first Blade, I think it could have made the story even better.

I don’t hate it. Ryan Reynolds hard carry, he had good chemistry with the entire cast. My biggest problem is Dracula isn’t as great as I would have loved him to be. Some supporting characters are also kinda nothing burgers as well.
