Silly, Fake, Annoying

Rating: Null/10 (6 September 1998)

I came to "Blade" hoping for a super gory, scary, action packed escapist action/horror film. It tried so hard to be that but it failed on all counts. The gore was severely lacking, reviews have said it has EXTREME gore but there wasnt anything for than cheesy, fake computer animated gore. It wasnt gross even, it was boring. The action scenes were pretty exciting (especially the first one at rave) but they were all very similar and the stupid vampires disintegrated into ash avoiding any kind of body piling. The vampires weren't scary, they were just kind of crude. The plot was obviously lacking, I won't give anything I away but there is one MAJOR hole involving what the vampires will eat. Anyways, it's worth seeing if you REALLY like the comic book or these kind of films, but if you are just in the mood to see an action/horror film, avoid it, rent Starship Troopers or something.
