I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

I rented this movie at one point and was intrigued from start to finish. Lots of action, if excessively gory, and vampire slaying. Kind of like a certain she-slayer from the mind of Joss Whedon. But this is something like Batman meets Zorro with a nocturnal protagonist who also wields a sword and various other sharp implements. I hadn't seen this much blood since Duke Nukem 3D. The villain is really good too and we get to see Donal Logue from the TV sitcom Grounded For Life as a voracious minion of the vampire Deacon Frost. Is the world doomed to the mercy of the bloodsuckers? Is the darkest truly before the dawn? You'll see!

Blade is one of the few movies with a sequel that's actually better than the original, but it's still a very decent movie. It has a very dark tone and is wonderfully bloody (especially Germans should watch out for the cut version) with fast fighting choreographies. The villain was okay, as was the story - could've been more interesting.

Movie Review: "Blade" (1998)New Line Cinema as required Warner Bros. Picture affiliate, distributes an amazingly visceral comic book adaptation with first appearances of the title-given character within an almost forgotten "Marvel Universe" in series since publishing "Tomb of Dracula", starting from 1973, when director Stephen Norrington, at age 33, inherits all the trust by his producers, especially strings-pulling executives Stan Lee & Avi Arad, to bring a bold version to the movie theatres tinted in bloody reds and visual-striking scenes embedded in light & shadow with actor Wesley Snipes in the title role featuring on his best efforts of his acting career, getting supported all along in 115-Minute-Final-Cut opening with a secret night club underground scenario under pumping beats by DJ Krush, when supports all-along up front Kris Kristofferson as "Blade" medically-conditioning character of "Whistler" must give in under nemesis vampire Deacon Frost and his street-running thugs, portrayed by fully-character-inhabited Hollywood actor Stephen Dorff so that 28-year-old N'Bushe Wright as Nurse Karen, struggling with the drug of vampirism herself, where the close-to-neo science-fiction-movie in timeless decor by production designer Kirk M. Petruccelli delivers the ultimate vampire-action-film by following the genre rules of engagement to open revisits for any generation to follow the art of moviemaking.Copyright 2018 Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC

A half-vampire, half-mortal man becomes a protector of the mortal race, while slaying evil vampires. Pretty much everyone knows that before X-Men (2000) Marvel was basically a nobody and movies such as Captain America (1990) and Fantastic Four (1994) prove how the 90's were a bad time for them but somewhere around 1998 a little film called 'Blade' hit the big screen and it turned out to be Marvel's first big movie that both fans and critics liked (except Rotten Tomatoes as always). Blade has been perfectly casted as Wesley Snipes he is entertaining and just epic in every scene that he is in it also Kris Kristofferson as Whistler great character played by an excellent actor. Now the action is terrific especially the opening scene in the Club where Blade goes full beast mode in a bunch of vampires that was pretty awesome, the villains played by Stephen Dorff, Arly Jover and Donal Logue were also pretty good but i'll get in a bit more spoiler territory in a second. Now as far as the villains went and the basic story about the Blood God and that whole thing i found it very cheesy i mean there's a scene where Deacon Frost says that Blood God is the toughest and most powerful vampire that has ever lived on this world and yet in less than 4 minutes he turns into a balloon after Blade shoots him with his serum and i felt that there was no real danger for the hero at all and the same goes for the other 2 villains especially Quinn i mean his death was pretty quick and disappointing but at the same time kinda badass and the same goes for Mercury all 3 of them were killed pretty easily and the whole plan of Frost in the end was kinda retarded if you think about it plus you do get the feeling that you're watching a 90's film thanks to those crappy cgi effects but overall Blade is still a fun film i still freaking enjoyed the hell out of it in terms of action, acting and characters it's a 10 easily but it does have it's fair share of flaws and that is mostly with the 3rd act and Frost's gigantic master plan. The sequels that followed i have reviewed them ages ago and i gotta say after watching Blade (1998) once again i still think that Blade II is the Best of the Trilogy not just because of the cool story with the Reapers but also because of the excellent director behind which is Guillermo del Toro now as far as Blade Trinity goes? I do understand that it does have some flaws not many but just some here and there but the villain and the 3rd act it's still miles better than this film's ending. I'm going to give Blade an A-
