Movie Reviews of Blade (New Line Platinum Series)
Movie Review: Greatest Action Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie has to be one of the greatest action packed vampire movies of all time. It can't even be compared to the other movies of the trilogy. It is just that much better. Wesley Snipes plays the character of Blade (half vampire, half man)and has all the strenghs of a vampire, but none of the weakness of a man. He uses his power trying to make the whole vampire race extinct. Ending it with the ultimate fight against the head vampire.
This movie is a very voilent one at that, but has to be. It incorporate many different martial arts and special effects, which only adds to the action. This is a must see movie and establishes how action movies should be.
Movie Review: Perfect Action Film
Summary: 5 Stars
Blade is an outstanding, fresh, sexy, kinetic thriller. This film is quite possibly the best of the recent Marvel films. It also stands alone as a fresh take on the typical "good guy kicks butt" action films. Wesley Snipes is outstanding in his portrayal of Blade, and the film is not just another "superhero come box office revenue grabber" flick. I highly recommend it to anyone who is familiar with the story of Blade, or to anyone who is looking for a great supernatural thriller.Movie Review: Great hero story
Summary: 5 Stars
Blade's now my favorite fantasy/super/whatever hero. It caught me right away in the bloodbath opening scene with morbid curiosity. Blade is one of those superheroes that doesn't show much emotion at all but he still grabs and keeps the audience's attention.
The movie gets you in mood for its dark story and explains things very well in the plot. The acting is mostly superb and the characters make you loathe them or love them and it's got fantastic imagery.
I'm not even a vampire/fiction fan, so it always seemed out of place that I'm a fan of Blade. But I like it...you might too. It's not the typical vampire story--vampires hanging out in cobwebbed corners waiting to scare you to death before sucking you dry. They're high-tech-style bloodsuckers with Frost as their leader trying to get back down to the vampire roots.
You'll see...it's worth it.
Movie Review: A Cool Vampire Flick!
Summary: 4 Stars
The First time I saw 'Blade' in 1998 was when it was released at the cinema. I knew I was going to be watching an exciting film from the moment the film started-the vampire blood rave scene. It starts with Traci Lords as a vampire taking an unsuspecting victim to a blood rave. That scene is the best! I think it's a pretty cool vampire action film, with some very cool, exciting scenes in it.
A definite enjoyable, fun ride.
Movie Review: Catch you f***ers at a bad time?
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen Blade at least 8 times, and it never ceases to reveal new wonders. The kinetic action, the comic-book feel, the hilariously stilted dialogue... to date, the best Marvel has done on the big screen.
Wesley Snipes is impervious to compassion or cuteness. The film never leaves any doubt that Blade will fry every "suckahead" he sees, all while donning his bad-ass sunglasses (or putting them on in slow motion). Even when walking through a residential street at daytime, he's decked out in black trenchcoat, complete with any variety of deadly weapons, carrying vigilantism to the peak of its ridiculousness and relishing in it.
There are slow spots, and moments that make you cringe from sheer trashiness; yet, in short time, I'll find myself roused by a fight scene, yelling "YEAH! CAP THOSE SUCKAS! WHOOOOOOOOO!" There are very few films that can do this, and the next two BLADE films have only a shadow of this sensation.
Another model for comic book movies to follow- keep it short on origins. I want to see a scowling anti-hero and sneering villains, not some effusive sonnet about inner pain and trauma (though to be fair, BATMAN BEGINS integrated this exceptionally well, from the same David S. Goyer of the BLADE films, no less).
Simply amazing. TRINITY is crap (though I still saw it in theaters...twice), and BLADE II has its moments, but man alive, if you're going to get one movie that features sunglasses, make it this one.
