Blade 2 was just so balls-to-the-wall gore-filled and action-packed, that when we got to Trinity, it just seemed like Goyer intentially decided to riff on his own material, almost to the point of self-parody. The approach just didin't sit well with me.

Granted, this is the weakest film in the series, but It was watchable. I thought casting Patton Oswalt as the uber-geek of a weapons specialist was quite welcome. People can geek out about anything if they take it to the extreme, even weaponry. I know people that are every bit as big of a nerd regarding World War II as I am with comics. One problem I did have with the entire series is it wasn't quite sure if it wanted the vampires to be of supernatural or scientific origins. The second movie was probably the strongest of the bunch, even if it was pretty much a 2 hour long fight scene.
