Below average comic book flick

Rating: Null/10 (19 August 2000)

The best comic book film is? Superman The Movie. The worst? Not sure, but this one fits near the bottom of the scale.
The dark comic book character trend continues in this rather lacklustre adventure. Blade is cool, but nothing else. Blade kills vampires, yippie! Do we know anything about the character, his past as a boy? NO. Do we care? NO.
Character development is thrown out of the window along with dialogue and interesting characters. There seems little motivation in the screenplay, it's all a bit boring. Snipes does no acting, Dorff tries and does well-ish.
The direction is inconsistent, Norrington has potential for a Batman film if he gets a good screenplay.
The fight scenes are very well done, I enjoyed them. The special effects are pretty inconsistent, CGI not perfected yet. The film score is horrendous, boring and hurts the film.
The action scenes keep this film alive, worth watching with friends on a Friday night. I can't recommend this.
Viewed in widescreen.
