David S. Goyer's Blade: Trinity is condemned as the worst entry in the Blade trilogy, but its outrageous behind-the-scenes stories may explain its failure. First released on December 8th, 2004, Blade: Trinity was lambasted by critics for its formulaic storyline, one-dimensional characters, and poor acting performances almost across the board.

Blade: Trinity is packed with cheesy one-liners and miscast roles that conspire to make Goyer's production feel more akin to a supernatural romp than the razor-sharp Marvel comic adaptation that won his original Blade script such acclaim in 1998.
