Blade's back and this time he's facing the greatest vampire of them in with just Jessica Alba and Ryan Reynolds for back up.
If you"re a Blade fan, then you won"t be disappointed by this final instalment to the trilogy. What constitutes its success in my opinion is the new blood they"ve drafted in to give this film a lighter feel than it"s predecessors.
I think the addition of new characters was not only good thinking, but necessary, because the eponymous character, Blade (Wesley Snipes) while always rather wooden in that obligatory superhero manner, has become seriously two-dimensional by this stage.
The real scene-stealer in Blade Trinity is Ryan Reynolds, whose deft comic timing adds a laugh-out-loud humour which was missing form the first two films, and works very well. (Plus, he"s got a body which doubles as a work of art, ladies!). Jessica Biel is as gorgeous as ever; making a count of two indisputably "beautiful people" as new cast members and let"s face it, the attractive are always good to watch!
Parker Posey makes an excellent villain. She"s had some interesting roles in her time, and I always prefer her playing nasty characters with that tongue-in-cheek edge she does so well (eg. Dazed and Confused) to lighter comic fluff. The rapport between her and Reynolds is very entertaining.
We"ve even got the stalwart Kris Kristofferson thrown in to the mix, to add some continuity to the trilogy.
I"d class this as very good entertainment. The mix of old and new blood works really well, a pleasant surprise, as it could easily have gone horribly wrong. What really makes this movie is the element of comedy thrown in to temper the darkness. It"s nice to see a finale which isn"t just a re-hashing of the first two films, a la the very disappointing Matrix Revolutions.

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.
