Ryan Reynolds steps into Blade: Trinity only to steal the show
New Director Differences in Blade: Trinity
I believe one of the foremost reasons for the new, strange, pace applied
to Blade: Trinity is the fact that David Goyer, writer of the screenplay
for the Blade series, took the reigns and stepped up to the directors
chair for what could possibly be the final Blade movie. Another
factor that may have caused some pace confusion is the addition of Ryan
Reynolds and Jessica Biel. These characters bring a plethora of star power,
and character, to the film. It is hard to even say who the star of Blade:
Trinity is. Most would probably argue that Blade: Trinity
was Hannibal King's film [played by Ryan Reynolds].
Besides a strange, mixed up, pace for the film, it seems that David Goyer
prefers a grainy film stock. The entire look of Blade: Trinity
owes its different [when compared to other Blade films] feel almost entirely
to this film stock. Added to this, the fight scenes are not nearly as good
when compared to Blade II. The camera motion is far from steady,
making it hard to appreciate the highly choreographed fight scenes, or even
view them properly.
Entertainment = Jessica Biel + Ryan Reynolds
Snipes is still cool, and he enjoys dropping the 'F' bombs much more often
Jessica Biel, though not in the amount of Reynolds, also added some nice
new elements to the film, including her own fighting style and weaponry.
However, even Biel gets eclipsed by Reynolds onscreen presense.
The End of Blade
Is this the end of Blade? Judging by the ending of Blade: Trinity,
I have no idea. What seemed to be the 'final solution' for vampires, only
turned out killing some; allowing the war to continue for Blade and vampires.
So, there was not that much closure to this film, for the trilogy or the
film itself. Actually, at the end of the film I found myself thinking that
if there were another film, it would have Hannibal King back again. Hell,
comic spinoffs are so hot right now why not a Hannabil King movie? I say
this as Ryan Reynolds is due for a hit, a hit I hope he gets, a hit bigger
than Van Wilder.

Trinity Movie Page.
Final Judgment: For some reason I am wishing that Guillermo del Toro
stayed on to be director of this film, as I heavily enjoyed Blade
II and felt that with the added talent, Blade: Trinity could
have been great. While the film is good, it is only so thanks to the addition
of Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel. A film with Dracula and Blade shouldn't
miss, somehow this film did, even if only slightly.
