Blade:Trinity
Posted: Fri 17 December, 2004 Filed under: Reviews(ish) 2 Comments »OK, first things first, it’s confession time. I like Blade. Sad, but true. I even think Blade 2 was OK(ish). So seeing Blade:Trinity was a bit of a foregone conclusion despite some less-than-positive reviews.
But what is it with Hollywood and trilogies? Matrix was superb, Matrix:Revolutions was *cough* less so and Matrix:Reloaded was fucking horrendous. It’s much the same with Blade. Dear Christ I hope they’re not planning on making a fourth one.
It’s hard to define where it all goes wrong. I suppose “the start” would be a good definition. And it doesn’t get any better. There’s just too much that’s wrong – and even worse, it all feels horrendously disjointed. It’s a revenant, a zombie lurching from place to place with no real connection to any of it.
Avoid, avoid at all costs. It pains me to say this, but Blade:Trinity is nothing but undiluted shit.
Blade was fun.
Blade 2 was pants.
Blade 3 was never likely to be anything more than shit soup.
Still, I applaud your optimism 🙂
I thought the big monster at the end ruined Blade. I really liked Blade 2 (I think Topper and I are the only people who did!), but we just got back from seeing Blade Trinity and were totally underwhelmed. Since when did Blade actually conform to the black stereotype? And what was with that guy who constantly cracked jokes? Pants.
