derivative climax? improbable ending?

Rating: 5/10 (24 September 1998)

I just saw "Blade," and while a good film for its action content it seemed to me that the ending took a little from "The Dark Crystal" (but in a melodramatic and backwards effect)--hardly creative.
Also, I found it incredulous that Blade would be able to "mix it up" with La Magra (The Blood God, who was possessing Deacon Frost)... Hello?! La Magra is/was a *god* and Blade is just a half-breed "daywalker." Shouldn't La Magra have just wiped the floor with this guy? Even for a movie based on a comic book, that's a bit much.
I gave this a 5 out of 10. Pretty average fare, and plenty of gore. This movie will spawn sequels, I bet; after all, there's always more vampires out there to hunt.
