Flashy and fine movie making

Rating: 8/10 (9 March 1999)

In my opinion, "Blade" is an example of one of the best films in this genre (comic book hero translated to the screen). Although it may be a bit too flashy, every scene, and even every shot in a scene, is filled with tension and suspense. The editing is great; The music adds to the film's tension. The use of a luminescent red in various scenes, even those not involving attacks (I don't think I am imagining this) conveys the blood seeking of vampires. Great stuff.
