A very dark and stylish comic book adaptation

Rating: 7/10 (23 November 2012)

When I watched this movie I knew,that Blade was a Marvel superhero.I haven't read any of his comic books,but I am familiar with the character himself.The only other marvel movies I have watched so far were the "Spider-man" films and "Captain America-The First Avenger".I was surprised to see that"Blade" was much darker and unlike many Marvel films,it makes you take it seriously.
The Story was interesting and the characters,surprisingly,did not feel underdeveloped.The thing I liked the most however was the dark and haunting atmosphere the movie manages to create.In a couple of scenes ,where characters are introduced to the us,you can get a basic impression of what personality they have,without them even saying a word.Now that is impressive.The acting was alright,Wesley Snipes turned in the best performance,in my opinion.
I did not like the fight scenes that much,however.I mean,they were alright,not that over the top,but the blood effects kinda sucked.Other then that,there were the typical cheesy one liners,but,thankfully,not a lot.
Overall,"Blade" is a dark,stylish and very entertaining action/thriller.
