Blade: Trinity

'Blade: Trinity' makes for a weak finale to this trilogy. I actually wasn't overly bothered by it whilst watching, though with the end credits I was kinda left wondering what I had just seen - as in it is all quite forgettable. Wesley Snipes remains the star, albeit not as great as before. The cast is the most fascinating aspect to this film. Jessica Biel, Dominic Purcell, Natasha Lyonne, Patton Oswalt, James Remar and even Triple H show up, and that's not even mentioning the obvious: Ryan Reynolds. A beta test of 'Deadpool', really. That style doesn't quite fit here. This is also one of those movies that has tasty behind the scenes stuff to read about, who doesn't love that?! It does have the feel of a film that caused disagreement. At least Snipes & Reynolds reconciled for 'Deadpool & Wolverine', because that was cool - even for someone like me who had evidently not seen 'Blade'. I do hope we get that MCU reboot at some point in the future, if only because I reckon Mahershala Ali would kill it as lead; of course he wouldn't at all be able to replicate Snipes, but that's OK. It'd be interesting to see a fresh take on it with a larger budget et al.
