Lots of posing, scowling, quipping, leather-modeling and slow-mo cool-walkin'.

Consensus: The latest Blade flick is getting a little long in the tooth; critics call it bloodless, dull, rusty, and an assortment of other puns.
Runtime: 2 hrs 3 mins
Genre: Action/Adventure
Synopsis: 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... [More]

Reviews for Blade: Trinity
If the screenplay had been half as visionary as the casting, we might have been dealing with some sort of classic.
12/08/04
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.
12/08/04
It all suggests a cinematic identity crisis.
12/08/04
There's nothing beneath the flashy editing and self-consciously cool production design but a soulless adrenaline machine that's never scary and rarely engrossing.
12/08/04
The suck principle is making up for lost time. It's almost bad enough to implicate its predecessors.
12/08/04
The brow may be low, but it's perfectly manicured: Grade A production values abound, as does superior kung fu choreography.
12/08/04
The third time out for the vampire-hunting superhero is no charm.
12/08/04
Our obsession with style over substance is becoming pathological. When are we going to get sick of this stuff?
12/08/04
There's just enough comforting familiarity mixed with refreshing new characters to hold the casserole of a plot together.
12/08/04
Is this an MTV promo for the movie, or a kick-butt video game based on the movie?
12/08/04
No one's lifeblood is at stake, but the movie's pitiful victims will find themselves out the price of a movie ticket and nearly two hours of their lives that they will never get back. And let's not forget the price of popcorn and parking.
12/08/04
Trinity is a return to the cheesy spirit of the original.
12/08/04
It's all about the gags and the gadgets and the body count, with shootings, impalings and explosions vaporizing every vamp in sight.
12/08/04
Trinity is a lighter shade of Blade, delivering brisk action and cutting comedy in equal measure.
12/08/04
Lacks anything vaguely resembling a plot, while failing to deliver suspense or thrills.
12/08/04
From what we can tell from the Blade series, vampires are as easy to kill as ducks and there's no limit on them.
12/08/04
For a film whose story line turns on a miraculous feat of reanimation, this is a very lifeless effort.
12/08/04
Posey continues to find work, and even in a movie as beneath her as this one is, she's always fully engaged. The rest of Blade: Trinity is content to coast.
12/08/04
As commanding as Snipes is, Blade: Trinity is not as involving as its predecessors, and Goyer seems increasingly to be primarily writing variations on the original.
