Buffy without the Angst

Rating: Null/10 (8 September 1998)

Wesley Snipes is unrelentingly stone-faced throughout this whole effort, leaving us with N'Bushe Wright to give us someone to root for and a audience point-of-view person. It's technically a very proficient movie, but it tosses a lot out at you and the two vampire hunters (Blade and Whistler) aren't portrayed as likeable enough to really engage our interest. The vampires are more interesting characters. Although I'm still not sure exactly how you are "born" a vampire. The finale is a bit of a let down: La Magra is a god who... makes the main bad guy's eyes glow red and makes him hard to kill. Not exactly the vampiric apocalypse that was promised throughout. The Buffy TV series does it with a bit more style.
