A bloody good time

Rating: 7/10 (14 May 2002)

After seeing nothing but movies about Dracula when it comes to vampires, Blade brought a new spin on an old story. This was a great, wild and funny film, thrown together with some genuinely chilling moments and cool special effects. The action industry actually did something right by making a film with some intrigue and intelligence. Wesley Snipes fit the role of Blade perfectly, never indulging us too much with sly dialogue, instead proceeding with the standard butt-whooping. Movies like this are just great to watch, especially the last fight scenes with Blade and Deacon Frost (thank goodness they changed the ending). And the scene in Moscow was priceless!
