7/10
Reasonably entertaining, but pails in comparison to previous installments

Goyer is irresponsible in the handling of the final chapter of this much loved series. creating laughable mistakes. what makes this film enjoyable though is the show-stealing performances of Parker Posey, Ryan Renolds and Jessica Beil. Posey is superb her character. eccentric, witty and quite amusing, making up for the main villain Drake played by Dominic Purcell who is very weak in his role, or as women might call it,he's not there to speak he's just man-candy. Renolds keeps those one liners coming, and Beil, well Beil just has a loverly bum, oh and her performance is very good also, given the material, She has proved her worth before in the superb Texas Chainsaw remake.

Unfortunately blade is not the center of the film, which would have improved if he had been. Snipes created a great character that was focused and intimately portrayed in parts I and II. There was something very classy about Steven Norington's Blade and Gullumero Del Toro's Blade II, They where stylish, subtle, moody and very unique from each other. I can't blame snipes for being angry at Goyer and New Line, He made Blade his own and deserved to have his say on a director, considering he did have directors approval, What Goyer has done is created a hybrid of Norrington and Del Toro's Vision, he's also trying to tap into that MTV thing, which just isn't working. An entertaining feature, but not the grand operatic blade climax we where hoping for. If you ask me, i think Blade II was a pretty good finale to begin with, to me Blade Trinity is just a fun spin Off.
