Blade fangtastic ! - Blade: Trinity review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
02/06/2006

Like Elektra, X-Men and Spider Man, Blade is yet another creation by Marvel Comics guru Stan 'The Man' Lee. Like X-Men and Spiderman it sticks very well to the original plot lines and story of the half human, half vampire anti hero that now hunts the blood suckers even as he struggles to control the 'thirst' that rages inside of him.

The first two films delivered as does this and rounds off the trilogy very nicely indeed. Snipes is at his martial arts, butt kicking best and delivers his lines with the gravitas required. Hell don't expect great acting, although he has proven he can act, Last Boy Scout, Passenger 57 and Liberty Stands Still prove that, but nevertheless he plays the part well and looks impressive in the fight scenes.

And the action comes thick and fast, with great sword play and gun fights and enough thumping action to appease any action fans. And comic book readers fear not, this is a top notch adaptation and the whole series has treated this character well. Don't be put off if the hero isn't known too you like Spider Man or the Hulk (I had to explain to my partner who the guy was before we saw the first movie) get this film, and enjoy the ride or better yet, get some beers in, grab some popcorn and play all three back to back! Go on I dare ya!!

Very comic book-ey, enjoyable if you're into comic books - Blade: Trinity review by CP Customer

I really liked this movie. I liked the earlier blade movies too but this is very different. I found the the first movie darker with a stronger storyline; they've got gradually more like the spiderman comic books: More action, funnier, a few serious moments, vunerable hero's and gung-ho fights. Culminating in trinity which is just like either a Capcom streetfigher game or as I said a spiderman comic book (pre-all that crazy alien costume stuff).

Anyway, I liked the supporting roles, thought the hellian hottie Abigail adds great eye candy and fighting envy to the movie; Hannibal is superb as a... Well whatever he is (annoyed sex toy with a funny streak?), good addition.

I watched it twice (in a row) just cos' it entertained me on a boring wednesday afternoon. Story's ok, action good, effects good, gags excellent, I liked the acting and the villains too.

Would be in my collection for entertainment value.

Better than the final Matrix.

A terrible, embarrassing & shambolic end to Wesley's fantastic portrayal of the Day Walker - Blade: Trinity review by TB

When the first Blade came out (and there still to me isn't proper recognition of just how influential this film was in terms of the Marvel film universe,) it was an incredible film, brilliantly conceived and is still my favourite out of the first 2.

Then Blade 2 came along and Del Toro took the characters and universe off in a different but just as brilliant direction. When it came to the third film, everything looked to be slotting into place: David S Goyer again had written the script, Del Toro was back on directing duties and the stage was set...

But in the words of Moby "Then it fell apart, fell apart."

The main problem seems to have been the considerable behind the scenes issues. Del Toro left the project, ostensibly (and it was reported) that he was given the green light to direct Hellboy, but I suspect that the script and other creative decisions out of his control played a larger part. After he had left, the script writer for the whole series, David S Goyer was given the chance to direct. This was not a good idea... Plus the way the film plays out is like it was also directed by the studio bosses as well, due to some of the creative choices. And in a sign of what he could clearly see coming down the road, Snipes eventually refused to speak to Goyer, communicating instead via post-it notes and probably frantically talking to his lawyer to see if he could bail out of the project.

This film is terrible. Terrible, embarrassing, schlocky, boring and a total dud. I remember watching it in the cinema with my close friend who had introduced me to the Blade universe and once it finished, we both just sat dumbfounded, staggered that this film had even been released. Much of the established facts from the previous films are discarded. There is lots of action but none of it means very much. And someone thought it would be a good idea to cast a wrestler as Dracula...

There's not too much else I want to say apart from how sad I was that this magnificent film series ended the way it did and how it did. I do hope that the reboot with Mahershala Ali can recapture that magic, although at the moment that is stuck in its own considerable problems as well
