The second Blade film was the exception to the rule that sequels are always worse than the original. The second film is so good it makes watching the first film difficult. Now we have Blade Trinity and the rule about sequels is proved true, sequels are rarely as good as the the film that precedes it.
The plot has Blade wanted for murder after the vampires set him up by killing a human. The plot line is merely a "deus ex machina" used to get everything going and its importance to the plot comes and goes on a whim.
This film takes everything that has gone before and thrown it to the wind. Nothing here follows what has gone before. From the way the vampires operate to the way they all have seem to have plastic teeth in their mouths, there is nothing about these vampires that fits with what has gone before. The history of the vampires is rewritten yet again and the split monster mouths that the reapers in the last film had are suddenly the norm, to the point that dogs have them (which is way cool).
Blade is a cypher that we know less about than before. He is a tight lipped bad ass that looks bored by the proceedings. His Night Stalker friends, while intriguing, seem to have come out of another movie.
Its awful. Even the fights plunge head long into cartoonish violence thats completely not in keeping with the the earlier films.
(I won't even mention the acting because its just too dumb)
If you liked the earlier films re-watch them, this movie is not worth bothering with.
4 out of 10 for a few cool moments but mostly this is a lost cause.
