movie review - Blade Trinity

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

This is the third in the Blade movies. And probably the best. It adds the humour that was largely absent from the first two. Combined with a (relatively) no-nonsense plot (the bad guys get to do more than squabble and stop bullets, this time around) this stops the movie from taking itself so seriously and becoming a cringefest like "the Matrix" movies (which have a number of similar stylistic elements).

As usual, the supporting cast is liberally populated with hip types who look good in a designer outfit. Not all of them get as much screen time as you might expect, but this was likely done to keep the plot lean.

A decent action flick, though I have no idea how it might stand on its own outside of the trilogy.

Recommended.
