Pretty decent

Rating: 8/10 (10 July 2006)

This has to be one of the Wesley Snipe's best performances ever. The action and fight choreography is surprisingly excellent. Snipes does execute them with great grace in order to make it fairly convincing for viewers and exhibits mastery over the sword and other weaponary. The special effects are above average and mostly good. This movie is very very dark, perhaps one of the darkest I've ever seen. The biggest weakness is the main villain who is some sort of punk and doesn't come across as scary nor can he fight convincingly. The storyline isn't anything great and is somewhat weird but passable. Despite several weaknesses, Blade does come across as a good entertainer with fairly high production values.
