A fun vampire flick

Rating: 7/10 (7 January 2020)

Vampire movies are usually considered to be low quality. For the most part, that is the case these days. I mean look at the Twilight series! But every now and then a good vampire movie comes up and in the 90's there were 3 vampire films that are considered to be the best. Bram Stoker's Dracula, From Dusk Till Dawn, and lastly Blade. The movie Blade was based off of the comic book series starring the character Blade. The late 90's were the start of the comic book movie era where the comic book movie was becoming more and more popular. Of course, there have been movies based off of comics before hand but they were of lesser quality. Blade is a fun action packed film. While overall bad comic book movies were so bad that they were entertaining, Blade is entertaining because the action is good. There are some typcial action cliches but nothing too annoying for the viewer. The overall story is thin but again, nothing too bad. The acting is pretty decent and that is saying something considering with the next 2 Blade films, the acting does get worse. Throw in some gore and you have an overall fun film. If you are trying to find a fun vampire flick, Blade is certainly the film for you.
