Blade: Trinity - Is It Really As Bad As Everyone Says?

- 1998’s Blade was the first superhero movie that gave audiences a peek at the potential of bringing Marvel characters to the big screen. Wesley Snipes became iconic as the half-human, half-vampire Blade, with the film earning a sequel that was an even bigger hit and directed by a young Guillermo del Toro. For the third movie, franchise writer David S. Goyer was given the opportunity to direct, and New Line Cinema opted to spin the series off, using the film to introduce two new characters, Jessica Biel’s Abigail Whistler and Ryan Reynolds’ Hannibal King, part of a vampire hunting team called The Nightstalkers.
According to various reports, including co-star/standup icon Patton Oswalt, the shoot was a disaster. Wesley Snipes, perhaps rightly, assumed the franchise was being taken away from him, with him resenting Blade’s reduced screen time and being uncooperative on set. He apparently did not like Ryan Reynolds, even referring to him a “cracker,” and Snipes eventually sued New Line for allegedly violating his rights as a producer and reducing the character’s screen time without his approval. Director Goyer later called it one of the most professionally and personally difficult times in his life.
In the end, the film underperformed at the box office, only grossing $52 million domestically. The Nightstalkers never got their spin-off movie, with Snipes, sadly, ending up in jail for many years due to a controversial tax evasion case. With Blade getting a reboot, now is an excellent time to look back at the original trilogy's controversial and much-loathed final instalment, so we can determine whether it’s as bad as everyone says. This episode of Marvel Revisited is written, narrated and edited by Kier Gomes.

Snipes got blamed for this films failure. It was doomed before it even began principal photography.
It still makes no sense for Blade to mistakenly kill a human. In the first movie he describes how to tell the difference in human and vampires.. So for him to mistake a human makes no sense.
He was a familiar which taking them out is a good thing
@@NATEDOG True but it still makes no sense for him to mistake a familiar for a vampire
@@EmperorGuyver this is true
Whistler is awesome saw kris krisstofferson in concert a few years ago
i kind of agree and disagree. for obvious reasons it makes no sense but if the script was better or by assumption one can assume that over all that killing and dealing with all that trauma of being one of one with a dead mom who also tried to fuck you in part one.......its not far fetched to imagine him slipping and making mistakes.
As much of a disrespectful pain Snipes was, he ultimately was right about the script. Blade went from spotting the single human in a club full of vampires drenched in blood to getting fooled by Halloween plastic fangs. They obviously were more interested in continuing the franchise with Ryan Reynold’s character and friends. All while Blade got the scraps of the idea pool.
the dead pool, as it were.
@@ericvulgate what a reply 👨🍳😘
Yeah, to this day I still don't understand why he couldn't tell that guy wasn't a vampire. That's some Chewbacca defense stuff there. It does not make sense.
@@craigetherington705 ☕👌
Ever hear of Nightstalkers??? Blade was only one of the trio in those comics about the occult.
Snipes was totally right about the script for Blade 3... It's a shame they couldn't get Guillermo del Toro to finish the series. We would have had one of the best series (from start to finish) ever made in movie history.
The beaner that sucks at making movies?
He should have refused to be in it.
@@KD--sj8eo Then who else would have taken the role?
@@danteshollowedgroundsno one lmao

Blade trinity will always be one of my favorite movies. Not for the movie per se, but for that moment in my life. I was an akward teen, little to no friends and a little bit depressed. And my dad took me to watch that movie just to cheer me up, he payed for everything in the theatre and even faked he like it (he hated it), just to be with me and let me clear my mind for a time. So I love that movie with all my heart.
Bless ya
Personally i really enjoyed Blade Trinity, it was the weakest in the trilogy but it was a blast of a movie!
Same, I still quote this movie years later.
Same
It has grown on me over the years. It’s the weakest of the 3 for sure as you said, easily, but there’s entertainment value if you take the movie for what it is.
Guilty pleasure for me. I think Blade 2 was the best, but really good trilogy imo.
Ok…🤷🏽♂️ I envy you(specially considering I’m one of Blade biggest fan)
Well, it kind of makes sense that Blade was able to get the drop on Dracula because he was on a par with him during the sword fight. All that being said, Blade was the first successful film made based on a Marvel character and it actually inspired Marvel to get into the film business.
on par? MOST of the fight Blade was getting his ass handed to him
@@Overeasyeggsoee Probably. But that's the way Hollywood works. I've been doing VFX for 23 years. Every generation has it's trend, and Hollywood ALWAYS over saturates the market with it. In the 80's it was barbarian movies (Conan, Beastmaster, Yor etc.). In the 90's it was Indie/Art films. Now it's Comic/SciFi/Fantasy. It's a vicious cycle that repeats because, at the top, the industry is run by lawyers and marketing people with no creative ability whatsoever.
I worked on this movie and I enjoyed the experience. That being said, I spent most of my time on Second Unit and we had a blast shooting nights for weeks with one of the top Stunt Coordinators and Second Unit Directors in the industry.
Bullshit
Nice true story you made up
@@deacongowan117 why would he? What does he have to gain from this?
LMFAO
@@deacongowan117 The amount of UTTERLY FABRICATED stories you come across in youtube comments are so hilarious
I watch Trinity at least once a year. It's just good fun, with some stellar over-acting. One of the most stylized and mannered action-horror movies in existence... and that's saying something. Parker Posey never disappoints, and it's fun watching Reynolds hone his shtick, which I'm partial to. Another excellent episode, JoBlo.
we all have our guilty pleasure. Mine is Cyborg with Jean Claude Van Dame. I have to watch this movie at least once or twice a year, if it's not more haha!
My favorite bit of trivia for this movie was Wesley Snipes refusing to open his eyes at the end on the autopsy table 😂. Something hilarious that happened, was the day I heard that, I played Left 4 Dead 2 for the first time in years, and the first lobby I joined had a dude named "Awake Blade" and his profile picture was from that scene with the obviously, edited open eyes 🤣!
Because of Ryan working on this movie, he fell in love with Deadpool through the director, so I'm grateful for that.
It has the most memorable line in any vampire film I have seen in almost 50 years.
"Sooner or later, the thirst always wins."
Made all the more meaningful because it’s a call back to the 1st film
But makes little sense, since they made the cure in the first movie, used it again in the 2nd movie, and they managed to establish that you can cure someone after several years because of Renold’s character.
Some muthafuckaz r always tryna ice skate uphill
Blade:
They're vampires.
Dr. Karen Jenson:
How can you tell?
Blade:
By the way, they move. They way they smell.
David S. Goyer :
I'm Just gonna go complete clown mode with this movie & have Blade kill a human
Yes. Yes it is. It was the Ryan Reynolds show, trying to launch a spin-off nobody wanted.
AGREED.
RR sucks so bad
ESPECIALLY at the time of this damn release lol
I wanted the spin off
@@andychrist2922 Likewise. As it would have meant more Jessica Biel kicking all the ass.
Which was, let's be honest, the highlight of the entire Blade Trilogy.
Excellent trivia! Actually like all the Blade movies, Snipes will always be the best Blade.
I mean, it’s between him and Sticky Fingaz, so saying he’s the best isn’t really saying much lol.
And just like Capone he was defeated by IRS
He isn’t Spider-Man their isn’t any options to chose from Snipes is the only and the best blade as of now 😂😅
@@Collect2Disconnect the series guy wasn't a patch on snipes.
Sticky fingaz
The post credit scene was supposed to be a big reveal to SHOW us that Blade was still alive. But I bet the studio mandated the Ryan Reynolds voiceovers in which he TELLS us blade is still alive.
I always thought the scene between blade and Abby when he says “use it” was a pretty good scene, Jessica biel’s scream was so authentic
It was a cool idea. The execution of the scene could’ve been much better.
i had to explain to my mum what was going on. She had no idea why he was saying USE IT! lol
@@brokenman58 even funnier because she’s gripping a corpse 😂😂
True......ewwww MUM!
I like that scene as well
The reason why Drake changed into Blade when he died was to get Blade off the hook. Drake saw that to continue the vampire bloodline, the future was with Blade and not the pure blood vampires. Or that’s why I assumed he did what he did in the end.
I have the extended cut dvd set and you nailed it. Dracula didn't need to survive to make more vampires, his legacy continues in Blade was a literal statement by Dracula that wound up cut from the release.
The alternate ending would have been the better end for the theatrical release though. It is Blade on the table, but he wakes up before they cut him. his human side kept him alive through the end of the vampires but died afterwards, leaving Blade as a full vampire yet still without the weaknesses to silver and sunlight.
@@jaquigreenleesthat’s drake not blade
"Stop goofin Blade!" Jessica Biel is the reason why that line is so iconic.
DUDE! I've never, ever, watched Blade Trinity but always loved it's OST, and now i know why: The composer is Ramin Djawadi, now famous for Pirates of Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, Batman Begins, Game Of Thrones and House of the Dragon!!
Definitely a guilty pleasure and good soundtrack
I played day walker into my Zune gave up 😆
@@KingFearless I bought the soundtrack mainly for that song
Yes. It is. I was angry when I saw it, because parts 1 and 2 were awesome!
Jessica Biel is incredibly fit in this guilty pleasure movie.
oh yeah!!!!!!😍😍😍
Mate Jessica Biel is shit hot in whatever film that she,s in.... facts
@@bedfordshiremodeller4491 yeah i mean haven't you seen her famous bikini pool scene in summer catch?
@@marlonclark1896 No i hav not
@@bedfordshiremodeller4491 well check it you're going to like it
My problem with this movie was the Drake character. What he was doing would be fine in a comic book but on film didn't translate right. Drake's build up was very weak. Plus Goyer was tasked with following the very good Blade II. The only person I feel could've saved Blade Trinity was Del Toro. Once I found out he wasn't coming back to direct I kind of knew it was gonna have problems.
The main problem with this movie is that it feels like it was made for television...!
Abby shot the arrow through a window. Drake heard the glass breaking. That's why he was able to turn around and catch the first arrow.
Seen every Blade in theaters and they were always fun. That's good enough sometimes.
Jessica Biel is a damn treasure
oh yeah!!!
While on the topic of black superhero movies, a retrospective on The Meteor Man (1993) would be great. Such a rich cast of so many talented actors 👌
Aah I see you're a man of culture as well. Meteor Man was the first real black superhero movie, not Blade or Spawn
Been years since I watched that movie.
Meteor Man was awesome
YES!!!
This movie was actually hilarious. From Blade's constant annoyance with the nightstalkers, the bdsm dracula, the vampire dog, Triple H and ridiculous death scenes
Yeah, I don't think they wanted it to be so hilariously funny though
Blade and hilarious shouldn't go together
@@ninjanibba4259Funny enough, the original film was originally written to be comedic.
@@ChristianFrates1997 thank goodness for rewrites
You guys have absolute low standards for comedy. Nothjng but sex jokes that middle schoolers would wheeze at.
I like the ending driving scene. Blade gets to just drive and listen to tunes for a bit now. No action, no immediate disaster to face. It's a moment like Conan was wishing for in the "only the wind that smells sweet before the storm" speech. Satisfying... and kind of funny. It's also a good metaphor for the end of the series: Blade goes on, kids, but this story is over.
Before I watch, I need to say that the Blade trilogy (for me and a friend of mine at least) are one of the very few series that improve with each subsequent entry
The first one was undoubtedly brilliant and a proof of concept for things to come, the second builds the world well with the introduction of the new vampires and the third is thoroughly entertaining and I loved the addition of Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds! The only thing that I wasn't fond of was the need to make Dracula a generic buzz cut guy for most of the runtime and call him "Drake" to keep things modern, but his transformed look was awesome
The second is undoubtedly the best one. Del Toro always tears it up.
I too was disappointed in this movie for the same reasons. I truly believe the studio wanted to move on from Blade and Wesley Snipes.
It was obvious they did! They intentionally ruined the franchise to get him out. I swear Ryan Reynolds had more screentime. I wouldn't cooperate either if they pulled that bs on me and I'm the lead.
My favorite part is when says "What you think this is a joke?" Lot of movies seem to have forgotten how to get serious and let the drama land. MCU especially, constant jokes from everyone. I wish one of the characters would tell the others to stop joking around.
I think snipes meant that .ha
Heard this was the Role that Made Ryan fit into role of Deadpool so then would say it ain't so bad. It was bad but still enjoyable in a sense considering how weird that Blade was killing all high-level targets & wasn't already a vigilante already with how vampires had infiltrated all aspects of society including politics & military so atleast they answered that 😅
Reynolds plays almost the same character in every movie he is in but smoking aces and the one he is buried underground
Nope.
And nobody will replace Wesley- he is Blade as far as I'm concerned.
This is the Robocop 3 of the series.
“Hot Topic obsessed…” YES! So accurate.😅🤣
Thank goodness Beal got the role. She was perfect
Everything with Snipes was Awesome. Although they made Blade's character hollow in this movie. Don't know how his his sidekicks were the focus of the movie 🙁
Out the 3, I have this one on DVD. The ending battle and fight sequences could been better and all out.
Mahershala Ali will never top Wesley Snipes
"I don't like you."
"You never did."
Technically, is like having a Deadpool with Blade Crossover
"Have fun at your midnight showing of Blade 2!" (best line from Deadpool)
BLADE: Serious Cheese. Blade 2: Fun Cheese. Trinity: Stinky Cheese
Big ups on hitting 800K! On the home stretch now and keep up the quality content! ❤
Yes. Yes it is.
-saved you all the time.
After seeing whole movie i can't tell i'm convinced. Not even at slightest manner. Especially with the way it ended it felt ike writers have no idea what they wanna achieve or were in such hurry so they wanted to finish it right away.
I liked all the Blade movies - and it was a big stepping stone for Ryan Reynolds I think.
He was essentially the first good live action Deadpool, before he was the first terrible live action Deadpool, before he was an amazing live action Deadpool.
I have a great suggestion for a best movie you never saw episode. You should cover the boxing film gladiator from 1992. It stars James Marshall from twin peaks, Cuba Gooding jr., and Brian Dennehy. One of the best boxing films I’ve ever seen.
I actually enjoyed Blade: Trinity. I felt it still had it’s dark tone drama like the first movie, and it’s action pack moments like the second. I feel that Ryan Reynolds completely stole the movie with him playing Hannibal King. His role in that movie is the reason he’s playing as Deadpool today.
Sure, the movie it’s perfect and has some flaws, but all in all Blade: Trinity is still a kickass “Marvel-ous” action/horror popcorn flick! 👍
My only issue was Wesley snipes was barley in it you can tell in sertin scenes that he had a stand in it takes away from it alittle!
Lies RR ruined the movie get off his nuts
Jessica Biel has never been as hot as in Blade 3. With some muscles she is just perfect.
I just can't hate this movie. I know it's a mess, but there are so many enjoyable performances in it.
Ryan Reynolds as himself/Deadpool was excellent....the movie was watchable, but Snipes basically faxed in his limited performance.
I guess I'm in the minority of people who enjoyed the entire trilogy? Valid points on the elements that made the 3rd movie not as strong as the first 2, but I still enjoyed the finale much more than most of what passes for entertainment these days. And the IRS totally made an example out of Wesley Snipes. They did that man so wrong it still makes my head spin.
Please do a "WTF Happened to Fastlane", if you would. It only got one season from 2002-03, but damn what a fun show it was! It was cancelled only because it was too expensive to shoot another season between all the flashy/vintage cars, FX, guest stars, and licenses for all the music they used. They even had to replace most of the music for the DVD set, but I still have all the episodes recorded from TV with the original soundtrack, and it still slaps in 2023! Great channel brother, glad I found it!
2009 this movie saved my life. As weird as it is to say I was on the verge of suicide ( Not from watching the movie lol) So I was going through a divorce the ex took everything I had from me. I got extremely drunk one night started watching this and got done reading a Deadpool comic. I was debating on how to end my life when Ryan was on screen making jokes about the vampires. I was laughing so hard and all of the sudden had a wake up call. Like everything made sense to not go through with it. I realized I should look at life differently and just use sarcasm and jokes to deal with my insecurities and depression. In a way not only did the movie save me, but Ryan Reynolds did too which is why he is my favorite actor and my hero. Thank you Ryan and Blade Trinity. I love this movie as bad as it is! ❤
I'm glad you shared this story. No matter how much anyone poo poos this film it'll always have that meaning to you and that's seriously beautiful
It’s not good but gets better with subsequent viewings because you appreciate how much Blade would hate Ryan Reynolds.
I ❤️ this movie. I saw it coinciding with the first one, because I thought the first one was a slow burn 🔥 I think it's great. If it wasn't for this one marvel would have been broken.
I enjoyed it. The rescue sequence was a visual feast for the eyes with a score to match. It had its strengths and weaknesses but an enjoyable watch nonetheless.
I thought Abigail and Hannibal were a great addition as the Nightstalkers, and great counterpoint to Blades deadpan deadly serious tone.
It was definitely a risky move but precisely WHY i enjoy this movie so much. It dared to be different and it was.
As one of those who avoid toxic social media platforms such as the blue bird and the flappy bird, I watched the movie devoid of any expectations and as such, I didn't feel any dissatisfaction.
Yes. It is that bad.
Yes,Blade 3 was a hot-mess. Imagine,being a guest star in your own film,I went to see Blade,not side-kicks for a spin-off movie. Which never happened,I WONDER why ???
I feel like the first Blade set such a large precedent for the franchise to live up to. It'd be like if Terminator 2 was released, then The Terminator, then Terminator 3. Deacon Frost was an amazing antagonist to Blade, and everything about that movie lives up to the hype. Then they tried to keep recreating the formula from Blade 2, to mixed results.
Blade 1 and Blade 2 are great I don't count Blade 3 as canon. Blade 1 and Blade 2 had awesome fight scenes, music, acting, art direction, good stories.
It's bad, but it's still a fun watch for Ryan Reynolds, Parker Posey, and Patton Oswald. And those hilarious behind-the-scenes stories.
Compared to the first 2 it seemed all over the place with Ryan Reynolds terrible constant jokes becoming irritating. They could have brought Karen back as one of the team as she quickly became a useful asset in the 1st. That would have helped as it would have provided some link/reference to the first (Trinity didn't feel like a sequel in a series more like a standalone film). The only continuity was Whistler's mention of his daughter in the 1st and her turning up in Trinity. It's watchable but not as good as the first two in my opinion
Thank you! Ryan Reynolds ruined Blade Franchise and literally disrespected Snipes with all that screentime they gave him
The original 1990s Blade film is great.
Snipes may have snapped and contributed to a difficult production, but Goyer's screenplay is the real hurdle keeping Trinity from being an altogether enjoyable third entry. Even Del Toro had issues with Goyer's writing on the second film (seriously, listen to the director/producer commentary on Blade II for some well deserved barbs). Goyer has had good luck in Hollywood in that he was an actual fanboy turned screenwriter, and his enthusiasm attracted filmmakers wanting to adapt comic book properties. Not to sound too insulting or mean, but he's basically a hack 😅 The Nolans fell back on Goyer for the lore, but they contributed a lot to the narrative of those films and are largely responsible for their success whereas most of Goyer's scripts are pretty clunky if you skim through his filmography.
„I still found plenty of things to appreciate in this movie.“
*cuts to mindbendingly hot Jessica Biel*
I feel ya bro. ;-)
All three top stars were fantastic in their own unique way (Ryan Reynolds, Wesley Snipes & Jessica Biel). Though Jessica was the best, she shined the brightest & stole the show❤️❤️❤️
Blade 1 & 2 (like Alien & Aliens) were two of my favourite films. One week I'd prefer the original, then the sequel, depending on my mood. I didn't get to see Trinity at the cinema, and although friends expressed disappointment in the third instalment, I went out a brought a copy so that I would have the trilogy on DVD.
After I watched it I gave my copy of Blade: Trinity to a charity shop.
Never again.
I tried watching this the other day. I hadn't seen it since it was in theaters, and it didn't take long for me to figure out why, and turned it off a while before it even ended...and that's coming from someone who's a big fan of both Reynolds and Biel.
So yes, it is in fact that bad.
Easily one of Goyer's worst efforts.
I personally really enjoyed this movie when it came out and I watched it another couple of times after that. I found it fun and I enjoyed watching Jessica Biel kicking a**. Didn't realise it was hated until years later.
I love my "B-movies." Trinity is one of my favorites. Also, never heard of Ryan Renolds until this movie. He blipped on my radar and has stayed there ever since. VanWilder WHO? You can see glimpses of Deadpool in Hannibal King. Am I the only one? Oh, nevermind. He just said it in the opening.
What about the hint to werewolves??? With blade going to hunt at the end of the movie
it'd be cool to see blade cameo in deadpool 3
yeah
I actually liked all Blade movies. Trinity was quite entertaining too.
You've just been cancelled.
@@bobjohnson1633 Yay that means at some point I was somebody.
Compared to some of the Marvel stuff that has been released recently, Blade Trinity looks pretty good. Definitely has its low points but I thought it was fun and had more ups than downs. I just hope with Disney reboots Blade they can do the character justice.
I'm predicting now that they're going to do a worse job than Blade: Trinity, but we'll see. I'd love to be wrong
I liked all three Blade movies...nuff said! 😉
same
“Your not immortal. I must have heard hundreds of you rodents make the same claim, each of them have tasted the end of my sword.”
I liked this movie in spite of the bad rep. I thought the post credit scene was Blade fighting over-the-top werewolves...? Maybe that was a bonus scene from those ancient dvds I was so proud of long long ago.
I really like Blade Trinity. Sure, it's not as good as Blade II and a farcry from the original Blade, but it was a lot of fun. Parker Posey was awesome and I liked the addition of Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds. Reynold's deadpoolisms were hilarious. The only things that I didn't like that much was casting Dominic Purcell as Dracula and that there wasn't enough Blade in there.
Wasn't the actor who played Daryll from "THE WALKING DEAD" also act in Blade 2 or 3?
Yes Blade 2
StarWars 7 AND 8 needed to be good for 9 to be disappointing... 3 long movies about a Marry Sue is a brutal way to end a trilogy trilogy hahahaha
In order, the 3 high points of this movie were:
- Ryan Reynolds & Jessica Biel (they were amazing and in such great shape)
- Parker Pose (The perfect Psycho bad guy / girl . I honestly would consider letting her bite me. Might be worth it)
- Triple H (Did a great job with what he was given. Large, imposing and funny)
Sorry Wesley Snipes, they did you and Blade dirty here. Story was weak, writing was even worse.
It was the worst in the trilogy for sure, but it was watchable. The first two were great though. I hate when people try to say the 2nd one was wack
compared to the fight with Blade and Nomak in Blade 2, the fight between Blade and Dracula in Blade 3 was a snooze fest.
That vampire Pomeranian never made sense to me. Its mouth splits open like the reapers from Blade 2, but the standard vampires’ mouths don’t split open like that. It’s more like a Reaper Pomeranian than a Vampire Pomeranian. Just saying…
The thing that really disappointed me about Dracula was that he had no mystical powers. All of his schtick was purely physical, and not very impressive. More than that, the vampires die way too easily and cleanly.
JoBlo: Fans expectations were set on high.
me: Ditto Wesley Snipes.
Trinity was not bad but the weakest of the entries. They shouldn't of used Ryan Reynolds so much maybe. I remember him kinda just being obnoxious and not really in a funny way. He was a distraction from what I remember of darker Blade.
Thank you for this video. You hit the nail on the head.
I remember whistler died so I must have seen this movie, but that's literally all I remember.
Personally this is my favorite Blade movie. Ryan Reynolds is funny as hell in this film. Plus Triple H and the lovely Jessica Biel are in this film.
hundreds of miles per hour? You know arrows dont fly through the air at hundreds of miles per hour right?
Either way I just appreciate Wesley Snipes for being that guy to play as that character because I don't think anyone else could have did it better than him.
Jessica Biel, like Jennifer Garner, deserved a better film to show what she could do in the genre. There are good female action actors, no doubt, but sometimes they don't cast actors whi are convincingly athletic enough for the role (looking at you, Angelina Jolie). Biel and Garner both had some athleticism in they way they moved. Unfortunately, neither of their respective projects were that good, and they never really got the chance to do blockbuster action again.
I don't remember not liking this flick when it came out. I watched it all the time.
I watched it not too long ago and I agree good movie over all.
I still do the Gucci Goo when my kid acts like baby lol
I did a fan edit. It can be salvaged. There's a lot of unnecessary scenes and dialogue, if they wanted to they could have tidied it up easily in post
In the first Blade the woman - Karen, asked him, in front the night club - how he know who is a vampire, and Blade said - "By the way they move, by the way they smell!"...PERIOD!...But Goyer pissed on that by making Blade be fooled by a dude with a plastic teeth?REALLY????Snipes was right to be angry during filming - they made Blade a freaking joke!!!!
