Blade (1998, Dir. Stephen Norrington)
In a world where vampires walk the earth, Blade has a goal. His goal is to rid the world of all vampire evil. When Blade witnesses a vampire bite Dr. Karen Jenson, he fights away the beast and take Jenson back to his hideout. Here, alongside Abraham Whistler, Blade attempts to help heal Jenson. The vampire Quinn who was attacked by Blade, reports back to his master Deacon Frost, who is planning a huge surprise for the human population.
Whenever a comic book adaptation is made, it is common for the film to be made, where a younger audience can also view it. The difference for this film is that it's created for an older audience. There is a lot of bad language and is very violent. This doesn't make the film bad. The film is actually very good. All the actors playing vampires, are made up to look like a vampire but not too much like one. The Blade characters is perfectly played by Wesley Snipes, and really brings an interesting character to the film. There is a lot of fun action sequences to watch too, but i found a few problems with the CGI. The CGI did look fantastic, especially for it's year, but i found some sequences a little bit odd looking, especially the look of the blood bubbles. Still, Blade is a wonderful film which i definitely recommend is your old enough to watch it and enjoy horror or comic book movies.
