Blade: Trinity (Movie Review)

Wesley Snipes returns as Blade, the vampire killer extraordinaire. But this time he is not alone. He is joined by “The Nightstalkers”, another group of vampire hunters comprised of Abigail (Jessica Biel) and Hannibal (Ryan Reynolds).

This time around, Blade and company take on the ultimate vampire…Dracula. But this is not the typical Transylvanian with a cape, that occasionally moonlights as a bat. Oh no, this Dracula dude is seemingly indestructible. He is the original vampire…born perfect and now he is hunting Blade. Dracula has a human form, but he also has a “monster” side that very closely resembles “The Predator” from the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie of the same name. The plot is pretty obvious…Blade and his friends kick ass. Then something bad happens…requiring even more ass kicking. And honestly, it works. It is an extremely fun movie to watch.

Jessica Biel, the hottest vampire slayer in town (yes, even hotter than Buffy…maybe) has come a long way from Seventh Heaven. Few things in movies are more entertaining than watching girls kick ass. Ryan Reynolds, better known as Van Wilder, is very funny in this film…sometimes too funny. Everything he says is hilarious, but occasionally the humor goes overboard and you find yourself longing for a return to the action. But the real star of this movie is Snipes. He once again pulls off the Blade character with a good mixture of toughness and subtle humor.

Blade: Trinity is at least the second best in the series…maybe the best. The superb fight scenes along with the occasional inputs of humor make this a highly enjoyable movie going experience. Check it out.
