Great comic-book, kick-butt, vampire-slaying action fun!

Rating: Null/10 (31 July 1999)

We thoroughly enjoyed Blade (Wesley Snipes as Buffy the Vampire Slayer?). We realized from the beginning that it wasn't going to be _great art_. After all, it was based on a comic book. Visually it was a lot of fun, and the action sequences were wonderful. Of course, Wesley Snipes is wonderfully visual in the role, his sculptured physique accentuated by the hairstyle, neck tattoos, and costuming. Guys will probably appreciate N'Bushe Wright, who plays the female lead.
By the way, let me put in a plug for the DVD version, for those who have a DVD player. There is wonderful commentary by Goyer (the writer), Snipes, the director, and at least one other principle. It is a lot of fun to see how the creative decisions were made.
In summary, if you are in the mood for a good martial arts, kick-butt, vampire action flick, this is a fun one!
