visually brilliant, but that's about it

Rating: Null/10 (31 July 2003)

Visually this movie reminded me of the The Matrix (like the bullet time and the color scheme) but that was about the only thing good about it. Usually action movies can hold my attention well, especially when the star is hot, but this one was just boring. The only thing I like about it was Stephen Dorff as Frost, but even he couldn't make the stale lines interesting, but he is gorgeous so that made up for some of it. None of the characters were developed enough and after the first 10 fight scenes Snipes with his sword got pretty monotonous. That's another thing that makes the secound half of this movie a trial to watch, Wesley Snipes is a statue, I know Blade has this hude resposibility but do you think he could have smiled once? But, i have to hand it to him, his ice cold veneer did come in handy when his mom was coming on to him.
