An "ok" actionfilm that gets the extra half star for the brilliant music in the beginning of the film.

A fantastic stlyish film that reinvents vampires! A wonderful blend of gritty, dark, comic, bloody and suave, this film blends gothic with modern realworld and techno, and provides surprisingly unique and deep characters.

MCT:August 4, 2008I luv all the blade movies but this one was really good. It also had a very good soundtrack. The dancing in the club scene with the blood coming out of the sprinklers was awesome.
-
MCT:July 29, 2008Blade is a tough half-vampire guy living in the city in this action flick about a vampire club where the evil biters are trying to take over. The best of the trilogy. Wesley Snipes is no Will Smith, but oh well.

"Blade" is not your typical comic books superhero movie. It is a lot more bloody, the hero is more an anti-hero, and it deals with supernatural villains -- the vampires.
The vampires are making a comeback in an unnamed modern city. They control the police and one of the biggest blood banks within city limits. They roam the streets at night searching for human blood. You can't tell them apart from humans, unless you are a fellow bloodsucker -- or a vampire hunter.
Two of the best vampire hunters are "Abraham Whistler" (Kris Kristofferson) and his part-vampire, "Blade" (Wesley Snipes). The two have a father-son type relationship, with "Whistler", as he is most commonly called, making the vampire-killing weapons, and "Blade" hunting down and killing the vampires. The two declared war on the vampires, and will continue the fight for as long as needed.
Joining them is "Dr. Karen Jenson" (N'Bushe Wright), whom "Blade" saved from a vampire who, unfortunately, bit her before "Blade" made the save. She uses her medical skill to find a cure for the effects of the vampire's bite. Sadly, the cure won't help "Blade", who was born shortly after his mother was bitten by a vampire.
They quickly discover that a vampire named "Decon Frost" (Stephen Dorff) wants the vampires to take over the world, and enslave the humans. With "Whistler" building the weaponry, "Blade" and "Dr. Jenson" go to the streets to find out what "Frost" plans for mankind are and to stop him and his accomplices before they can put their plan into action.
There are a few things you will notice right off in this film. First, the movie is shot in little light. Many sets have little light, and, for the most part, are in dark colors. You will also notice the special effects are great when the first vampire dies on-screen. Then there is the hand-to-hand battles, which are incredibly choreographed. You will also see lots of blood, so I highly recommend younger audience members avoid this one.
There are some good performances, despite the weak character development. The one performance which stands out the most is that of Snipes, who shows no emotion and plays "Blade" with a straight face. The rest of the cast also do a good job, but the characters are not well written.
The special effects, right down to the prosthetic fangs, are incredible. The CGI effects are edited in as close to perfect as you can get.
The fight scenes are fast-paced and are incredibly choreographed. Some moments in the fight are in slow-motion to emphasize the movement of those in the scene, which only enhances them.
The backstory of the characters are either shown or told by the characters, so you really don't need to know the storyline of the comic book the movie is based upon. There is just about everything you want in a movie, minus sexual innuendos and a budding romance between two of the main characters.
This is the beginning of a pretty good franchise that you should check out, especially if you're looking for high impact action. -

Forgot just how bad the CGI is in this movie, just as well Wesley Snipes is cool as fuck in it or this movie could have been a shambles.

Loved this movie. Lot of action and would go see it again. Have this movie as part of my home collection.

MCT:July 26, 2008
Interesting take on vampires. Wesley Snipes is perfect as Blade. Stephen Dorff was a perfect villian. Take note, peeps! Comic book film success began with BLADE!

MCT:July 25, 2008
I enjoyed it. My wife thought it was too bloody, and I can see why. If you like the first one you'll probably like the sequels.
-
MCT:July 25, 2008
Interesting, action-filled movie with a surprisingly deep mythos. It's a shame Snipes and Kristofferson both turn in characteristically bad performances.
-
MCT:July 25, 2008
I just love it. The second and third movies in the triligy didnt live upto this 1. Really good movie. Not deep, but a great spectacle and an absorbing story.
-
MCT:July 25, 2008
I love vampire movies and this is one of the greats! Wesley Snipes is perfect as Blade. I loved Stephen Dorff as Frost. Awesome toys and great fight sequences.

Top 5 Fave movies
& Stephen Dorff is Yummy w/ those fangs.
Love the action, the actors (or tho I could do w/o Tracey Lords in it) are great -
MCT:July 20, 2008
Greatest vamp movie ever! Snipes is the blackest of the black and is pure American muscle. This movie takes no prisoners and is pure intense action from start to finish... LOVE IT!

MCT:July 20, 2008
One of my favorite kick butt vampire slayers. Well casted, but silly story ending. If they had just changed the super-monster into something else I might have given it the full stars.
-
MCT:July 19, 2008
So bloody. The special effect was not too special but for the action scene, i want to say... brilliant! Very exciting.
Blood everywhere, little disgusting ya. -
MCT:July 12, 2008Watched it with a Stephen Dorff fan. One of the few movies that got me interested in other comic/graphic novel to film franchises. Dislike its sequels.

This was a very entertaining movie. After watching the Blade trilogy, I have to say I've grown a strong liking for the series. Blade kicks off the trilogy with a great start. Now as much as I liked this one, Blade 2 was superior in every way, but I already reviwed that...so nevermind. This movie has some fantastic action scenes in it, and a nice story to keep you interested. Snipes make his Blade debut here, and is awesome...perfect for the role. We also first see Kristoferron as whistler, and his old "I don't give a crap" attitude is a great addition. Dorff as the main villain, makes for a good one...makes even ME wanna hate him. And Logue makes a nice secondary villain. All in all this is a very solid movie, and everyone should check it out. Its not as good as 2, but better than Trinity (but thats not hard to accomplish). Blade and Blade 2 are both some of Marvel's best, so be sure to check it out.

MCT:July 7, 2008one of the most scary movie session. and it had nothing to do with wesley snipes..all the creepy people were in the cinema that day
-
MCT:July 3, 2008okayish. Snipes is obviously the charter member of his own fan club though, which is a bit off-putting
-
MCT:June 18, 2008A very insignificant character in the Marvel universe is transformed on the big-screen into a sword-welding, bad-@ss with the fighting skillz that Batman only wishes he possessed. The fight scenes in this movie are a true stand-out for any kind of action movie. Yo, and the story & visuals supercede any comicbook that Blade was ever involved in.
Now this is how all comicbook superhero film adaptations should be approached.
(BTW, even tho as a comicbook movie, I have Blade ranked at #4 ,
as a vampire character, Blade definitely rates as #1.
So, for any vampires out there reading this, I don't care what your position is in the bloodsuckers' heiarchy, Blade would still kick all yo' asses.
Suckas.) -
MCT:June 13, 2008
Screw X-Men this is the movie that set Marvel on the right path, when it came out it was one of the best Vampire movies in years, and is still one of the best.

Awesome movie! unbelievable sword swinging, blood spilling, vamp chasing fun! Wesley Snipes will have you on the edge of your seat. Even if you seen it many times before, you'll still have your "What will happen next?" mood.
