Editorial Reviews

Blade Blade is half vampire, half human. He has devoted his life to killing vampires. His nemesis is Frost, a vampire who aims to take over the world, enslaving humanity. With the help of Whistler, a human vampire hunter, and of haemotologist Karen Jenson, Blade battles Frost and the evil Blood God. Blade II Blade is half man and half vampire and consumed by a desire to avenge the curse of his birth and save the human race from a blood-drenched Armageddon. Blade must align himself with a high-powered team of vampires to take on a greater evil than either has ever faced--a new kind of super-vampire that is itself on a vicious hunt to eradicate both races. Blade: Trinity Deep in a remote desert, vampire leaders are resurrecting Dracula, the horrific creature who spawned their race. Now known as Drake, this awesome vampire has unique powers that allow him to exist in daylight. To make things even more difficult for Blade, the vampiric leadership launches a smear campaign against him, targeting him as a murderous monster and sendingthe FBI after him. After Blade and his mentor, Whistler, have an explosive showdown with FBI agent Cumberland and hismen, it's evident that the Daywalker will need some assistance. Blade reluctantly teams up with the Nightstalkers, a group of human vampire hunters led by Whistler's beautiful daughter, Abigail, and the wisecracking Hannibal King. While their blind scientist Sommerfield works on creating a final solution for the vampire problem, the Nightstalkers launch a relentless series of battles against Dracula's gang of the undead, led by the powerful vampire Danica Talos and her fanged acolytes Asher and Grimwood. Ultimately, Blade finds himself taking on the greatest vampire of all time, as his own fate and that of humanity hang in the balance.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst Blu-Ray Release To Date, November 23, 2009

1st: "French Version" ("Francias Vercion") appears on the Box Set & should tell most experienced blu-ray'ers enough right there.

2nd: Absolutely NO reason to buy this set (or any of them individually).... Reg.DVD HD-Upscaling will hold you over until a proper U.S. set is released; and here's why...
-- No Bonus Features (not even commentaries)
-- No subtitles (none, any language)
-- Audio = you do have the option of English DTS HD-Master Audio --- but had to have my Hm Theater Sys on near Full Volume on all 3, just to hear much of the dialogue! (also has English & French Dolby 5.1 -- nothing else)

3rd: They don't even have a "Main Menu" for cryin' out loud. The movies start automatically, & ReStart automatically.... NO Main OR POP-UP menu (aside from language controls that is)... NO Scene Selection even!!, etc. etc.

4th: Possibly the WORST sin of this set however... is the Trinity (3rd) film...
-- Not Unrated
-- Not even the same ending! (Drake goes to morgue, not Blade... Blade just rides off into the sunset on his bike... this ending makes absolutely NO sense, on EVERY level. The other ending (Blade attacking morgue personnel after awaking 'thirsty')... not only "paid off" the Ryan Reynolds 'voice-overs' that are at the beginning & end of the film... but why/how would/could a DEAD "drake", "morph" into Blade at all... let alone, have it last long enough (while DEAD) before morphing back into "drake" on the morgue table!?? MAYBE this was the "original" ending shown in theaters (and shown in the RATED versions of Blade Trinity?.... having only ever seen/owned the Unrated DVD version, I don't know...... but if it's NOT released as an UNrated version in the US (when it's finally released)... I FOR ONE WILL NOT BUY IT.

The Die Hard 4 blu-ray & several others... have been a bit of a let down; because they weren't UNrated; but didn't mind so much, because 99% of the time, it's usually just a little less gore/violence/etc. ------ but in 1% cases like these, when the movie itself (or enough of it) is Worse Off "rated" than "unrated".... well, I'd rather stick with the lower-quality GOOD/Unrated film, than the (somewhat) higher-quality BAD/Rated film, regardless of whether it has bonus features or not.

Buy this if you've nothing better to do with your money... otherwise, wait for the U.S. release & get your money's worth!
(PS: Picture quality was fine... but then again, it's not like the source material was 'grainy' to begin with. Still, I'd say it could/should be better -- just like the audio... and it will be, as soon as they make a proper U.S. version)

I was so excited to get this collection on Blu-ray, but once I got it and started to watch it I was disappointed because none of the disk have a menu they just start and there are scenes missing out of Blade:Trinity some small things but never the less they were part of the movie, now I'll have to go back to the regular DVD's so that I may watch the movies the way they were released.
