DVD Blade - Trinity (R-Rated Widescreen and Full-Screen Edition) (New Line Platinum Series)
Even skeptical fans of the Blade franchise will enjoy sinking their teeth into Blade: Trinity. The law of diminishing returns is in full effect here, and the franchise is wearing out its welcome, but let's face it: any movie that features Jessica Biel as an ass-kicking vampire slayer and Parker Posey--yes, Parker Posey!--as a vamping vampire villainess can't be all bad, right? Those lovely ladies bring equal measures of relief and grief to Blade, the half-human, half-vampire once again played, with tongue more firmly in stone-cold cheek, by Wesley Snipes. With series writer David S. Goyer in the director's chair, the film is calculated for mainstream appeal, trading suspenseful horror for campy humor and choppy, nonsensical action. The franchise still offers some intriguing ideas, however, including Drake (Dominic Purcell), the original vampire, whose blood contains the secret that could destroy all blood-suckers in a plot that incorporates a sinister "blood farm" where humans are held--and drained--in suspended animation. And Biel's wise-cracking sidekick (Ryan Reynolds) in her cadre of "Nightstalkers" provides comic relief in a series that's grown increasingly dour. All of which makes Blade: Trinity a love-it-or-hate-it sequel... supposedly the last in a trilogy, but the ending suggests otherwise. --Jeff Shannon
Review(s): DVD Blade - Trinity (R-Rated Widescreen and Full-Screen Edition) (New Line Platinum Series)
Blade Trinity
If you like vampires and sci fi action violence you would love Blade Trinity
The story is about A vampire named Blade (Wesley Snipes) who is half vampire himself. In the movie Blade has to fight the ultimate vampire evil . . . Dracula. Blade has some help from two younger vampire slayers but they are not much help when it comes to fighting Dracula. Will Blade defeat Dracula? Find out in the action packed movie Blade Trinity.
If you buy the dvd Blade Trinity there are some spectacular special features including deleted scenes, the unrated edition of Blade Trinity with ten extra minutes of vampires and action and much much more. I give this movie two thumbs up. There is great acting and wonderful use of emotion and violence. I recommend this movie to anyone older than 13 and not to children.
Not Bad But The Original Is Still The Best!
I bought this film a while back and after viewing it a few times, I have to agree that Blade was almost a secondary character in his own movie! Taking a backseat to the Nightstalkers!
Abigal (played by Jessica Biel) is okay but not all that! Nice to look at and has a few cool moves but that's it! Hannibal King (played by Ryan Reynolds), on the other hand, was a cool new character. The only knock on him is that he seemed to try TOO HARD to be funny!
HHH, in my view, was surprisingly effective as Jacko Grimwald. Still, he better not give up his WWE dayjob or his bodybuilding side job! As for Dracula, he's easily the weakest villian in all three Blades! The best villian is still Deacon Frost from the first movie! "Angel" from Buffy The Vampire Slayer could've gave Blade a better fight at the end! Hell, Buffy herself could've gave Blade more of a battle! I just thought they could've made the King Of The Vampires just a little more formadable than they did.
Overall, not a bad film but falls short of the original and just barely squeeks past Blade 2.
Blade Trinity forgot about Blade
I love Blade 1 and 2 for Wesley Snipes being the star and kicking ass in some of the coolest action fight scenes in cinema. Nobody beats Blade's coolness, though his personality could lighten up a bit (B1). But then Goyer drops out Blade Trinity, forgetting everything that made the first two a hit for action/Blade fans.
-The story focuses more on the Darkstalkers than Blade.
-Instead of showing Blade kicking ass solo, the camera cuts up his fights with Hannibal and Abigail. Bad move. I don't mind watching the darkstalkers fight, but NEVER interrupt Blade's fight scene with lesser characters. They can join him, but keep the focus on Blade, the Title character we paid to see kick ass.
-Parker Posey is just a bitch, but that's what she was going for.
-Hannibal King is cool, but his joking is over the top in a bad way. Cool it.
-The music sucks compared to Blade 1 and 2.
-The fight scenes suck compared to 1 and 2.
-The final battle between Blade and Drake sucks, since they keep interrupting the pace with Hannibal and Abigail. Why couldn't the editor just focus on one fight at a time dammit?!! Like 1 and 2?
Had the fights not been screwed up, I would've like this action film. Afterall, I don't go see a Blade movie for the dialog.
-Special FX were decent. Drake Transformed looked really cool.
-The chase scene of Blade after Drake in the city was cool and a nice touch. Actually, my favorite scene in the film, other than the opening.
-The opening action scene of Blade driving his car felt slow and dull compared to 1 and 2's. His initial entry fight lasted all of 10 seconds, which is too short IMO.
-I'll admit, I wanted to see another Blade 2 with new fight scenes, not the disaster called Blade Trinity.
-Recommended to? Diehard Blade fans. It's still nice to see Blade in one last film, despite the fact that they forgot about him, letting the Darkstalkers take over his rank. Not cool Goyer. I heard Wesley Snipes sued New Line for money owed, and the fact they didn't let him edit the script, as was contracted. I agree with Snipes. They should've made Snipes the director.
-Blade 3 isn't a total loss, as there are some decent comedic moments, and Blade Atmopshere.
-Whistler's death scene was an afterthought at best.
-Blade's interrogation scene was an abomination thanks to the idiot guy interviewing Blade.
Blade Trinity Grade: C-, 6/10. If only Blade's fight scenes weren't screwed up by BAD editing. Dammit.
As it stands, Blade 2 is my favorite Action film for 3 years straight.

While 2003's Daredevil was a conventional superhero movie, the 2005 spinoff, Elektra, is more of a wuxia-styled martial arts/fantasy flick. Elektra (Jennifer Garner) has returned to her life as a hired assassin, but she balks at an assignment to kill a single father (Goran Visnjic, ER) and his teenage daughter (Kirsten Prout). That makes her the target of the Hand, an organization of murderous ninjas, scheming corporate types, and a band of stylish supervillains seeking to eliminate Elektra and tip the balance of power in the ongoing battle of good vs. evil.
As the star of Alias, Garner has proven that she can kick butt with the best of them, and some of the visual effects are impressive, but the action sequences tend to be anticlimactic, and...

Like a Hardy Boys mystery on steroids, National Treasure offers popcorn thrills and enough boyish charm to overcome its rampant silliness. Although it was roundly criticized as a poor man's rip-off of Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Da Vinci Code, it's entertaining on its own ludicrous terms, and Nicolas Cage proves once again that one actor's infectious enthusiasm can compensate for a multitude of movie sins. The contrived plot involves Cage's present-day quest for the ancient treasure of the Knights Templar, kept secret through the ages by Freemasons past and present. Finding the treasure requires the theft of the Declaration of Independence (there are crucial treasure clues on the back, of course!), so you can add "caper comedy" to this Jerry Bruckheimer...

Brutal and breathtaking, Sin City is Robert Rodriguez's stunningly realized vision of Frank Miller's pulpy comic books. In the first of three separate but loosely related stories, Marv (Mickey Rourke in heavy makeup) tries to track down the killers of a woman who ended up dead in his bed. In the second story, Dwight's (Clive Owen) attempt to defend a woman from a brutal abuser goes horribly wrong, and threatens to destroy the uneasy truce among the police, the mob, and the women of Old Town. Finally, an aging cop on his last day on the job (Bruce Willis) rescues a young girl from a kidnapper, but is himself thrown in jail. Years later, he has a chance to save her again.

In delivering PG-13-rated excitement, Alien vs. Predator is an acceptably average science-fiction action thriller with some noteworthy highlights, even if it squanders its opportunity to intelligently combine two popular and R-rated franchises. Rabid fans can justifiably ask "Is that all there is?" after a decade of development hell and eager anticipation, but we're compensated by reasonably logical connections to the Alien legacy and the still-kicking Predator franchise (which hinted at AVP rivalry at the end of Predator 2); some cleverly claustrophobic sets, tense atmosphere and impressive digital effects; and a climactic AVP smackdown that's not half bad. This disposable junk should've been better, but nobody who's seen Mortal Kombat or...

In the grand scheme of theological thrillers, Constantine aspires for the greatness of The Exorcist but ranks more closely with The Order. Based on the popular Hellblazer comic book series, and directed with nary a shred of intelligence by music video veteran Francis Lawrence, it's basically The Matrix with swarming demons instead of swarming machines. Keanu Reeves slightly modifies his Matrix persona as John Constantine, who roams the dark-spots of Los Angeles looking for good-evil, angel-devil half-breeds to ensure that "the balance" between God and Satan is properly maintained. An ancient artifact and the detective twin of a woman who committed evil-induced suicide (Rachel Weisz) factor into the plot, which is taken so seriously that you'll...
