Whistler's gotta step messing with us. He doesn't die, apparently, and he's got a secret daughter. No, not one of the ones killed by vampires, a self proclaimed "other daughter, born out of wedlock" and she's Jessica Biel! Surprise!
Thank God, too, because Blade's getting old now and he needs the Mickey Mouse Club to help him kill vampires now. Honeslty, Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel have some cool action scenes but any scene with Reynolds quickly degenerates into a comedy special. It's not horrible but I don't really see it fitting within the Blade franchise framework. Maybe Reynolds and Snipes, if they wanted to get these two in a movie together so badly, should have done a stand alone buddy-cop movie or whatever. The banter between them is kinda fun, but mostly I think Blade Trinity is just gratuitous cinematic noise.
My biggest issue with this one was how much the villains sucked. Drake was a joke. Not a badly designed monster (when he was a monster) but totally useless as a villain.
