For years, Blade has fought against the vampires in the cover of the night. But now, after falling into the crosshairs of the FBI, he is forced out into the daylight, where he is driven to join forces with a clan of human vampire hunters he never knew existed—The Nightstalkers. Together with Abigail and Hannibal, two deftly trained Nightstalkers, Blade follows a trail of blood to the ancient creature that is also hunting him—the original vampire, Dracula.
A steep drop from its predecessors, Blade: Trinity was broadly panned for trading coherent action and narrative drive for noise and recycled ideas. Even critics who had admired the first two films found this one shapeless and enervating — and notably, the film's own writer publicly declared that nobody involved was happy with the results.
“It lacks the sharp narrative line and crisp comic-book clarity of the earlier films, and descends too easily into shapeless fight scenes that are chopped into so many cuts that they lack all form or rhythm”
Roger Ebert·Chicago Sun-Times
“Blade: Trinity is a carbon copy of its predecessors. It's all kick-ass attitude and style without any substance to back it up. Yet, where the first two Blades satisfied on a visceral level, this one doesn't”
