Overall an excellent action movie

Rating: 10/10 (30 November 2001)

Everyone knows that there are many vampire movies out there with all sorts of different looks at how vampires live in the real world. Interview with the vampire, the Lost Boys, their all different perspectives. But Blade takes the angle of a half-vampire, half-human hunting vampires which are all considered the enemy.
The action scenes in this movie are some of the best that have ever directed on film excluding a few exceptions. The opening rave scene is one of the top action scenes I have ever scene and definitely the best in the film.

Although the story line did seem a bit predictable at times, it never steered away from the main theme and that is Blade getting revenge for his mother's death. But the ending didn't seem too surprising and it didn't offer anything special that make endings so rememberable. Also some things just seemed to come too easy for Blade and his partner, for example the serum. Karen just seemed to know too much on how everything works for vampires.
Despite those minor problems, all in all this is a terrific movie and it is worth at least a rental, but for fans of the vampire genre I think its worth owning.
