Darker than the sequels, and all the better for it.

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2006)

Blade stands as not just one of my favourite films, but also my fav vampire movie. It's gritty, grimy, dark and gives you a very original concept of a world overrun by neck suckers. His character is a no quibbles Hunter Killer. He's cold and un feeling when it comes to vampires and thats the way he should be. He got more cute and cuddly as the other movies were made, i bet he was totally against the direction his character was heading. Blade was an 18. Blade 2 was a 15. Gay-ed TRINITY a God damn 12. - Hollywood AT IT'S WORST. Not your average action flick by any means, it paints a grim picture of blades world and you get the picture Blade is in over his head and that the fight (his fight) will never be over. I would have been quite content with this being a one off - as exited by prospect of sequels as i was - they didn't need to happen, and even though they did they take nothing away from the triumph of this first movie.
