Never said that it was the only thing intersting about the matirx. But basically the Visual style, and special effects, and the fact that Blade could have been just a shootem up, gory, vampire stabbing 2 hours worth of film, but it incorporated martial Arts, as it's main staple of action, was all slightly redundant by the time I saw the Matrix.
And I found out that Blade's Pre Production started before Matrix's. Which makes sense. And ofcourse Blade Finished before Matrix, thats obvious. And though Im not saying this, but even if Matrix, had borrowed from the Blade concepts, Im not mad at them because they actually made a better movie.
But I will always look at blade as the first in the market to create such a smooth style, with a combo of Martial arts, and violence. And to do all this with out looking Corny.
