Good visuals are not enough...

Rating: 5/10 (10 April 2015)

Now, first I must say that I am not a fan of vampires, vampire movies, etc., which probably places me in a strict minority. Having said that, 'Blade' just goes to prove my point: A rather boring, totally predictable movie full of far too many choreographed ballet scenes (read: fights), which does absolutely nothing to make us develop any feeling whatsoever for the characters. Consequently, we couldn't care less who lives, who dies, or how. The acting is sub-par in my opinion, but this may also be due to the non- existent screenplay. On a positive note, the cinematography, special f/x, costumes and soundtrack where all very good. Unfortunately, that is all this film really is: an over-sized, extremely expensive video clip.
