Blade Trinity
Here's my basic categorisation scheme for movies: A is obviously top stuff; B is typical B-movie material ie I like it but I'm not saying it's especially good. C is just about passable, D is dreck. I put Blade 3 at C, along with Chronicles of Riddick. The titles are great, but then they often are in bad films, as if someone realises the product isn't so hot and ups the budget on the packaging.
It's pinched the looks and the music from The Matrix, and that's fine, those are the good bits. The plot however is a half-arsed series of set-piece scenes, the characters go through their moves adequately, Blade does his 'worried' look, and the whole thing would be just as good, maybe better, if all the dialogue were taken off the soundtrack, all talky scenes were cut, and it just ran as a 1 hour music video.
