One of the better comic book adaptations

Rating: 8/10 (25 March 2002)

Blade was a very FUN movie. Lots of action and a pretty interesting story. I'm usually not one for vampire movies, but this movie did a pretty good job of keeping me interested. There are only a few things in the movie that really drove me up the wall.
SPOILERS AHEAD
I couldn't stand the "Pearl" character. What the heck was that? That was a useless character to put in the movie and EXTREMELY out of place. Why does everyone look human-like except for this disgusting thing? Dumb Dumb Dumb!!!
I also hated the way the vampires exploded at the end of the film. The computer animation looked HORRIBLE and like a cartoon! I don't know why the director insisted on having the vampires blow up like a balloon and then explode all over the place.
One other thing that kind of bothered me, but wasn't anything terribly infuriating was right at the end of the movie when Blade throws the vile in the air and spins around and kicks the vile-dart-thing into Frost. Sure it kind of looks cool, but c'mon, NO ONE could do that!
Other than those three things in the film, I thought it was great, and truly enjoyed the film. If you're looking for some cool fighting, some cool action, a bunch of vampires and a pretty interesting story, then this is the movie for you. I hope you enjoy the film as much as I did. Thanks for reading,
