An Average Movie

Rating: 5/10 (31 December 2007)

First Of All Happy New Year! Right on with the review. I really wanted to like this film...I really did but overall I didn't enjoy it. The first hour was great but then some really silly CGI and darkness ruined the movie. Wesley Snipes isn't the best actor as we all know but I feel he could have done a lot more in this film. Its a Stereotypical vampire flick which like most vampire movies is set in....wait for it...Russia. The cinematography was OK but I felt the movie overall was a little dark. There was plenty of action but the film doesn't end at all leaving room for Blade 2 to formulate and the special effects were weak. Pearl was also a character that didn't need to be in the movie. I never felt anything for any character as no one was fleshed out at all...not even Blade. However I did like the first hour and Blades character was alright. The car he drives in the movie is cool though. All in all don't expect too much when viewing this one....save it for a rainy day or a time when you have a couple of hours to kill.
