Blade: Trinity wraps up the Blade trilogy with a sense of cinematic scale, introducing Dracula, a familiar figure in almost every vampire story ever told. It was good to see that the “Elder” ruling class and their vampire nation—which appeared in both previous films but were inexplicably killed off each time—was gone. Instead, we have a group of vampires who’ve managed to make an impact on the world somehow. The film doesn't explain how they acquired a skyscraper or a museum full of ancient art, but it’s likely they had plenty of time to sort out their finances. The plot involves these vampires—Danica Talos (Posey Parker), her brother Asher Talos, Jarko Grimwood, and their associates—traveling to Syria to unearth the sleeping Dracula (Dominic Purcell). Or maybe Drake. Or Dagon. They seem unsure of his name. After Dracula eliminates some of them, he agrees to join forces upon learning about Blade (Wesley Snipes), whom he considers a worthy opponent. Blade then teams up with the vampire-hunting group known as the “Nightstalkers,” led by Abigail Whistler (Jessica Biel) and Hannibal King (Ryan Reynolds), to continue fighting for humanity. Does any of this make sense? Probably not, because the storyline is pretty standard fare. The first film had a compelling mythos and story but struggled with character development, while Blade: Trinity boasts well-developed characters despite having a rather unremarkable plot. The second movie managed to find a balance between those two elements, making it the strongest of the three. Trinity was decent enough, but it lacked some of the engaging qualities found in its predecessors. I think this is partly because the film seems designed for a theatrical audience. Following Blade II's success, they likely knew people would see Trinity in cinemas and adjusted the movie accordingly. Things like cheesy lines feel more impactful on the big screen, montages are more exciting, and explosions and special effects translate better than they do on DVD. Unfortunately, I only have the DVD. Perhaps the vampire dog—yes, really—wouldn’t seem so silly if I had seen Trinity in theaters initially, but I doubt it. I want to mention something about the names. Superhero movies are full of outlandish names, and I enjoy that! But the Blade series seems obsessed with characters who have names practically begging to be announced: “Hannibal King! Die!”, “Blade! There you are”, “Whistler! Come save us.” "Drake! It's him!" It becomes overly dramatic very quickly. It will be interesting to see how Ryan Reynolds does here, as this film came out before he took on roles in Origins: Wolverine, Green Lantern, R.I.P.D., and Deadpool. If Chris Evans could move from playing The Human Torch to Captain America, I don't see why Reynolds can’t handle Hannibal King. He was great, Ryan Reynolds is great, but I wouldn’t mind if this marked the end of the road for the character. -Gimly
