"Ryan Reynolds' endless tone-lowering, Blade-baiting quips temporarily distract viewers from the script's more pressing problems."  Movie Gazette  Anton Bitel

C-
"A pale shadow to the much superior first two films."  FromTheBalcony  Bill Clark

7/10
"Reynolds, Biel, Posey, and Lyonne amble around a warehouse trying to out-snark one another -- call it Blade: The Real World."  Freeze Dried Movies  Brian Juergens

D+
"Goyer was simply the wrong man to set loose in this world, for now the once promising Blade franchise has been crippled by his unfortunate tinkering."  FilmJerk.com  Brian Orndorf

1/5
"what you might expect from a teenager: a quick-paced arcade game set to an obnoxiously loud, mind-numbing metal, hip-hop, and techno score"  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

"The third BLade pursues familiar themes, having to do with vampirism as a virus, visited upon a hapless human population via malevolent, aggressive, very grumpy carriers."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

2/5
"While this third entry is the best in the series, it’s still a long way off from being the clever thrill ride it thinks it is."  eFilmCritic.com  David Cornelius

B
"The movie is present, sexy and fun, but it’s probably time to give this franchise - and Snipes' permanent scowl - a rest."  EDGE Boston  David Foucher

2/4
"Blade: Trinity may indeed be the last film of this series, but it's doubtful that anyone will be complaining that much after seeing it for themselves."  Cinemaphile.org  David Keyes

2/4
"Harmless but shallow, cinematic junk food that goes down with ease but has no nutritional value and will be forgotten about almost immediately after devouring it."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

B-
"Not a comedy, but its funny parts are more memorable than its action-horror parts, which are competent but unremarkable."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

C+
"If the screenplay had been half as visionary as the casting, we might have been dealing with some sort of classic."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

2/4
"Blade: Trinity doesn’t have the needed fangs to cling onto anything remotely interesting in this seedless third edition of the badass bloodsucker."  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

D+
"One dull 'Blade'...even for a vampire series, this one is getting very long in the tooth."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

1.5/4
"Blade: Trinity is a carbon copy of its predecessors. It's all kick-ass attitude and style without any substance to back it up."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

2/4
"primary aesthetic aim seems to be outdoing the music-video-inspired visual excesses of the previous films"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

2/5
"Wesley Snipes's vampire hunter franchise finishes off not with a bang but a whimper."  Netflix  James Rocchi

"A worthy end to the series."  3BlackChicks Review  Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel

1.5/4.0
"Oh, how the mighty half-vampire has fallen."  MovieCrypt.com  Kevin A. Ranson

3.5/5
"Okay, I didn’t say the plot was great. It’s kinda like cough medicine. If you just deal with the fact you have to swallow it, it ain’t bad."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

1.5/5
"There's nothing beneath the flashy editing and self-consciously cool production design but a soulless adrenaline machine that's never scary and rarely engrossing."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

1.5/4
"A character looks directly into the camera and gives the audience the middle finger. That seems a tad bit stand-offish, wouldn't you say?"  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

D
"This visually flat, dramatically incoherent film puts a stake through the heart of the series."  Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema  Mark Pfeiffer

"If the patriarch of all vampires just ain't that tough, it's time to pack it in. In fact, it was time to pack it in before we were subjected to this movie."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

2/4
"Blade: Trinity isn’t awful if you’ve followed the series, although one can’t help but feel that three entries is enough."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

C
"The fight scenes are plentiful, the characters familiar and the end predictable."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

1.5/4
"Goyer flounders around like an indecisive movie buff indulging in every special effects-laden trick in the Directing 101 handbook."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

1.5/5
"I can’t imagine any reason why this once moderately enjoyable franchise should continue."  Film Threat  Pete Vonder Haar

2.5/5
"Goyer's direction is all surfaces and no substance"  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

2/5
"Are the white movie geeks who make these sci-fi/horror flicks reassuring the white audience by robbing powerful black men of any personality?"  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves

C
"If Blade himself can't carry a movie with his own name on it, then perhaps the time has come to hang up the stakes for good."  Flipside Movie Emporium  Rob Vaux

C
"The only surprise for me was that is wasn't as bad as I expected it to be."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

3/5
"Almost as entertaining on purpose as it is by accident, Blade 3 is equal parts kinetic mayhem and bloody burlesque. But it moves real quick and it sure isn't boring."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

D
"The third time out for the vampire-hunting superhero is no charm."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

3/5
"Not as grand as the first two, but still entertaining"  sbs.is  Stefan Birgir Stefansson

1/4
"A sad way to end the series--not with a bang, but with a simper."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
