![]() Blade Trinity (Extreme) $6.24 In this, the third installment of "Blade", we have the a threesome battling the vampires, Blade (Wesley Snipes), Hannibal King (Ryan Reynolds), and Abigail Whistler (Jessica Biel). Blade is based on the Marvel comic book. This is a fine action film which reintroduces Dracula who was evidently entombed in a pyramid in Syria. Dracula (Dominic Purcell), though, is portrayed in this film unlike any Dracula we have seen in the past. When not in his human form he appears like the alien Predator. Everything leads up to the confrontation between Blade and this version of Dracula. Given all of the action in this film there isn't really much suspense. After recently watching films like "Basic Instinct", or "Seven", one realizes that what this film is perhaps missing is some mystery. The dark, brooding atmosphere is great, but we rarely feel any real tension, since there is little actual suspense, or expectation about what might or might not happen, and most of the characters themselves are largely two dimensional. Blade seems oddly distant for the duration of the film, but I did enjoy the Danica Talos character, who is portrayed in a wonderfully campy manner by Parker Posey. One of my favourite scenes though is when Dracula/Drake enters a gothic gift shop that is full of Dracula paraphernalia, toys, garmets, et cetera. It is a witty statement about the commercialization of an iconic figure. I was also pleasantly surprised by the image quality of the film. This is a well produced and photographed movie that looks very good. All in all there was enough here to keep me interested throughout the film. So if one likes action for action sake, then this film definitely fits the bill, even if the scenes are sometimes choppy in the extended version. ![]() The Blade Trilogy (Blade/ Blade II/ Blade: Trinity) $52.98 i been wantin the blade trilogy for a long time im glad amazon had it in stock i really like wesley snipes role as blade it it an awsome show ![]() Blade: Trinity [Blu-ray] $33.98 In this, the third installment of "Blade", we have the a threesome battling the vampires, Blade (Wesley Snipes), Hannibal King (Ryan Reynolds), and Abigail Whistler (Jessica Biel).
