Blade: Trinity - 4

If it hadn't been for Hannibal King's (Ryan Reynolds) comic relief this would have been a horrible film. Since the writer/director decided to be less serious, the film was able to poke fun of itself. It was an entertaining film. It tended to have long sequences of music and slow motion scenes, which was probably to extend the length of the film since the actual story only takes like 25 minutes to tell. The fact that it is about vampires makes for a lot of questions from the audience which this film is not prepared to handle, although to be fair the majority of the audience is self selected by those that already know a decent amount about the history of Blade, vampires, and comic book heroes. Blade is rather stoic, his main motivation seems to be revenge or anger, and yet he lacks the passion to actually make that credible. If you are in desperate need to see genetically modified pets that have been turned into vampire pooches, then you must see this film.

Did you know that Wesley Snipes invented his OWN martial arts style just for the Blade movies?
