Blade is a action packed, blood spilling vampire movie. Wesley Snipes as the Daywalker is the personified vampire hunter - cool, calculating and with no mercy for vampires.
The CG effects are outstanding for the year they were made and they are not used to a extend that the movie gets boring to watch like a lot of other movies with extensive CG use.
The story is different to vampire movies because it shows the fight between the "true-blood" vampires (born as vampires) and the "half-blood" (bitten and turned humans) and the change of perspective and times in the vampire community. The vampire society is organized in three classes - true blood, half blood and familiars (servants of vampires still to be turned into vampires).
Deacan Frost searching the vampire bible for the blood god Lamagra using high tech and OCR techniques for his quest. Also other aspects of modern human life brought into the vampire community (blood parties in a butchery, Rave parties, etc.) and the life of the true-bloods as a contrast - hiding from humans, acting in the background, dealing with finances, shares, ...
Well I didn't really know what to expect but it was actually a lot better than I thought it would be! It had fantastic action from beginning to end! It was edge of your seat stuff. Yes the storyline was daft, but thats all part of the fun! It did get a bit daft and confusing towards the end though. But hey ho! Overall it was a great experience!
Great action movie. Great vampire movie. Well done and a great introduction to the series. Probably my favorite Marvel film, and it was their first one (of their new wave).
"Blade" is fun, even though it is nothing brilliant. Norrington balances the horror and action rather well, and this is arguably the most memorable character Wesley Snipes has, and ever will, play.
Perhaps my strongest negative of the film would be the choice of Stephen Dorff as a villain. He lacks that certain charisma and vile disposition you look for in a good “bad guy”.
Give "Blade" a look for some decent, gory, and high-octane fun on a weekend.
