| Blade Review |
| by Joe Chamberlain |
| Blade is the movie that shows that Wesley Snipes really can live up to his
potential as one of Hollywood's premier leading men. Blade is based on the
comic book character of the same name and has that comic book kind of feel
to it. It is a very stylish...more |

| Blade (Wesley Snipes) is a vampire hunter with a difference - he seems
to be part vampire himself. With the help of his assistant, Dr. Abraham
Whistler (Kris Kristofferson), he emerges after dark to do battle with
the blood-sucking creatures of the...more |

| Who knew? Who knew that there was a brain beneath the thick skull of Wesley
Snipes, able to not only produce, but to choreograph? And good God can he
choreograph a fight scene. I haven't seen such elaborate ones since the John
Woo cult action Hard-Boiled...more |

| Wesley Snipes both stars and produces in this silly action flick. Snipes
plays 'Blade,' a half man, half vampire who's goal in life is to avenge the
death of his mothers by blowing the hell out of the blood suckers. In the
opening scenes, we can see he...more |

| Of the major horror sub-genres, vampire movies are easily the most
adaptable. Think about it. Frankenstein movies haven't changed all
that much because they still need that mad-scientist-in-Bavarian-castle
setting. If you made a Frankenstein movie...more |

| BLADE is the single best example of a live-action movie that draws its
lifeblood from the comics. Not only is it adapted from one -- albeit a
minor one -- it's designed from the ground up to give us the feel, the
smell, the you-name-it of a comic book's...more |

| I didnÕt mean to see _Blade_. IÕd heard the basic
elements--Wesley Snipes, vampires--and wasnÕt especially intrigued.
Snipes hasnÕt been particularly watchable since _Jungle Fever_

| Blade is the latest entry in Hollywood's continuing obsession with
vampires. Based upon a comic book, Blade feels more like Batman than
Dracula. Packed to the gills (or should that be fangs) with
crowd-pleasing fight scenes and mindless action, Blade is...more |

| Take some SHAFT (7.5/10), toss in a couple of pieces from the original
CROW (8.5/10), slap in some special effects a la SPAWN (6/10), and top
it off with some LOST BOYS (8/10) and BATMAN (8/10) wanna-bees, and
you've got yourself this summer's dark...more |

| by Walter Frith |
| In the spirit of 1994's 'The Crow' and 1997's 'Spawn', 'Blade' has an
irreverent comic book style presentation lacking in any emotion or
original style. It is, however, a fairly decent movie if you know this
going in. Decent in the sense that it is...more |

| Amazing. That describes most of “Blade”, a hyper, Michael Bay-esque
Vampire horror-action film that combines great visuals, good visual
effects, and a very comic book storyline (well, it IS based on a comic
book!). Don’t go expecting a plot along the...more |

| "Blade" is an escapist film that combines action,
horror and science fiction. Based on a comic
book series, "Blade" is energetic and watchable.
The special effects are excellent. The plot
even has some depth. Still, it has the feel of
a big budget,...more |
