Blade: Trinity

I'm a great fan of Blade, the Marvel Comics vampire hunter played by Wesley Snipes... But a third episode, Blade: Trinity, directed by David S. Goyer, is a blood fest too far.

For series fans only. Definitely NOT for kids!

The only one who seems to be having much fun, though, is Parker Posey, camping it up as one of the vampires.

Chances are that Goyer's cack-handed direction has killed a franchise he helped birth.

This has all the appeal of reheated, congealed blood.

Blade: Trinity does nothing more ambitious than continue a sputtering franchise.

Low-stakes action, nonexistent character development, campy villains, and a sidelined main character make the film feel like it's trying to ice skate uphill.

Leave it to Parker Posey to be the best part of two major horror franchises' dismal third entries.

If you are looking for a film with insight and depth, see Sideways. If you are looking for a throwaway guilty pleasure with a bark louder than its bite, this is the movie for you.

It was very boring, and all the guns looked like plastic toys.
