Goyer's film is an entertaining though a hit and miss addition to the franchise.

Reviews for Blade: Trinity
Top CriticChances are that Goyer's cack-handed direction has killed a franchise he helped birth.

Top CriticThis has all the appeal of reheated, congealed blood.
02/09/06
Top CriticWe're treated to re-heated leftovers and scraps which offer fleeting moments of sustenance.
07/05/05
Sometimes bloody, sometimes bloody awful.

Top CriticBadly plotted sequel that sidelines Snipes but remains watchable thanks to serviceable action sequences, some witty dialogue and the performances of Reynolds and Posey.

Goyer's direction is all surfaces and no substance

To me Blade Trinity deftly dances at the edge of "So bad it's good" territory, staying just on the side of being good.
02/27/09
a move that reeks of market manipulation, a couple of young sidekicks are introduced in a lame attempt to stire the usual formual into something new.
10/21/08
The surface, the film is stylish without losing its focus, and the gadgets, the settings and the characters all jump to life (as it were) in the cool domain of the extreme scenario.
10/18/08
An action-packed mess from its lackluster, two-pronged opening segments to its final showdown.
08/07/08
Not as grand as the first two, but still entertaining
05/19/08
Are the white movie geeks who make these sci-fi/horror flicks reassuring the white audience by robbing powerful black men of any personality?
07/23/07
The only one who seems to be having much fun, though, is Parker Posey, camping it up as one of the vampires.
04/25/07
The film adds nothing much that's new to the annals of creative killing in movies. Just run of the mill mass carnage dressed up to project sexiness and swagger.
03/30/07
Out with the old and in with the new.
01/10/06
Snipes reprises the lead role and is even stiffer and more robotic that he was in the earlier films.
09/30/05
Blade: Trinity does nothing more ambitious than continue a sputtering franchise.
09/26/05
A pale shadow to the much superior first two films.
