A Great Comic Book Movie

Rating: Null/10 (9 December 2004)

Based on the Marvel comic book, Blade is a solid action movie. It has great fight scenes, awesome special effects, and a kick butt action hero that the crowd can cheer for. In the movie, it seems that there are constant threats toward humanity from vampires. Blade(Snipes), or the daywalker, is the only one that protects us. A renegade vampire named Deacon Frost(Dorff) is trying to resurrect the blood god, which will destroy the world of course. Leave it to Blade to try to stop him. This is a non-stop action roller-coaster from start to finish. Wesley Snipes is especially good as the human/vampire hero. When he's on the screen, you just know he's going do bust some heads in, you can just feel his presence. Co-star Kris Kristofferson is also good as Blade's close friend and father figure.This movie is not for the squeamish, but if you don't mind that, this is the perfect movie to enjoy with your friends on a Friday night.
