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.

For series fans only. Definitely NOT for kids!

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 22, 2010

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

Chances are that Goyer's cack-handed direction has killed a franchise he helped birth.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 1, 2006

This has all the appeal of reheated, congealed blood.

| Feb 9, 2006

Blade: Trinity does nothing more ambitious than continue a sputtering franchise.

Sometimes bloody, sometimes bloody awful.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 14, 2004

I hope this is the end, that it's three and out for the Blade franchise.

Full Review | Dec 13, 2004

A choppy mélange of straight-to-video editing and a surfeit of disintegration effects.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 12, 2004

Truth be told, for all their faults there is something about the Blade franchise that makes them intoxicating, and watching this one fall flat on its bloody sword is almost more than I could bear.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 11, 2004

If ever there was a case for quitting while you're behind, this Blade is it -- ready to be buried in a vat of garlic.

| Dec 10, 2004

Lots of fairly cool special effects and a good deal of quips and catchphrases.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 10, 2004

Diverting but dumb and more goth than gothic, Blade: Trinity builds up to a less-than-epochal smackdown.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 9, 2004

Watching Blade: Trinity is like being rolled down a marble staircase in an oil drum. The movie is loud, dark, bumpy and not even a little fun.

| Dec 8, 2004

It all suggests a cinematic identity crisis.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 8, 2004

The suck principle is making up for lost time. It's almost bad enough to implicate its predecessors.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 8, 2004

Our obsession with style over substance is becoming pathological. When are we going to get sick of this stuff?

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 8, 2004

There's just enough comforting familiarity mixed with refreshing new characters to hold the casserole of a plot together.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 8, 2004

Lacks anything vaguely resembling a plot, while failing to deliver suspense or thrills.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 8, 2004

From what we can tell from the Blade series, vampires are as easy to kill as ducks and there's no limit on them.
