wow. talk about your disappointments. this movie sucked big time. it doesn't hold a candle to the previous two.

1 hour and 46 minutes of no storyline, pathetic fight scenes, crappy dialogue, and music so loud that it leaves you dizzy...i left the movie theater wondering what on earth did i just subject myself to.

You should watch The Incredibles after that, it should cure any ailments that Blade Trinity caused.

After watching Blade Trinity I think I could have just had my buddy kick me in the nuts and taken 6 bucks from me and gotten the same effect in a shorter amount of time.

Ah, hell. I'll go see it anyhow. If it's really that bad, I'll just sleep through it.

Sounds kinda like the second one. The first was the best by far.

it's no Matrix revolutions man that was a stinker!

I loved the first blade, The second one was soso, it redeemed itself with the one scene of the Charger rumbling through the warehouse, I gave me tingles in my naughty places. Wouls you say it is worse than say XXX? another lame movie salvaged by stategic musclecar placement.

i think XXX was better since you know beforehand that it's going to be little wacked. strategic musclecar placement didn't help blade: trinity. wesley snipes's overbloated machoness was to the point of being absolutely corny. i still can't get over how bad this movie was.

speaking of XXX...there's a sequel. yes, i said sequel. the previews looked decent. there seems to be a lot less low budget wannabe james bond stuff in it, and ice cube is the new XXX agent.

am i the only person that loved the second blade movie? i thought the choreography of the fight scenes were just awesome.

Doesn't surprise me. The first blade was good, the second one was OKAY, and I don't expect much from this one. And yes xxx was bad. Probably as bad as Riddick. I don't know it's a close one. Me and my friends laughed through that whole movie. They tried to cover up the horrible plot with good special effects but it didn't work.

Haha guys. You have to keep in mind there are "plot movies" and then there are just "show off" movies. Most of the time, they are kept separate, Hero was an exception. You shouldn't go into the theater expecting a movie like Blade: trinity to have a decent plot. I mean seriously how good of plot can they make about "going after the original vampire who hasn't had the need to evolve." The previews give you the plot you need and people who watch it should be there for either for naked chicks (depending on the rating, you can guess if there might be) or the special effects. I haven't watched it yet, and probably won't in the theaters unless I get extremely bored during winter break.

PS. Snipes never showed up to its opening so I guess that would have been a good indication of the quality of this film.

Yeah we did, it was alright. I thought the one guy "King" was pretty funny.

I found it to be quite amusing. Not the best, but still a good movie. It isn't over with this one either. nope you got the Other movies but they wont have Blade in them.

If you thought XXX was bad, wait till The Pacifier comes out. Vin Deisel is some sort of 'navy seal turned babysitter' or some stupid crap. looks very shoddy. now i must get to work and watch the charlie & the choc. factory trailer.

man the age old saying a movie that makes a seqel is going to be worse than the original everytime. Except in the Matrix where the 2nd and 3rd movie was better than the first.
