Beautifully made with brilliant cast and setting

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2000)

Blade is a fantastic movie with a new, modern look at vampires. This is probably the only movie that will have you rooting for Stephen Dorff's evil character over Wesley Snipes's Blade. The acting is brilliant, save for a few corny lines from some of the vampires. The opening scene is great (no spoilers), albeit a little gross. The movie _is_ gross, but if you're up for blood and gore you'll like this film. This movie dispels the romanticism of other vampire films, and has some very original ideas. There are some unanswered questions by the end of the movie, but it's great that this isn't a movie where every single shot and scene has to do with the plot. I only wish there was a different ending. Fight scenes are good, especially the last one. 10/10
