You can't kill a vampire, it's already dead...

Rating: Null/10 (29 December 1998)

Blade is a great adaptation and update of Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan's vampire hunter from Marvel Comics' Tomb of Dracula series in the 70s. As a matter of fact, it's a lot better than even the comic!
Blade features dead-on performances by Snipes and Dorff as the film's protagonist and antagonist, and a great turn by Kris Kristofferson as Whistler, who, incidentally, is based on a supporting character from Blade's appearances on Fox's Spider-Man animated series.
Great special effects, and superb martial artistry by Snipes. Not the best vampire film, per se, that title still belongs to Fright Night, but a great overall action/horror movie. Good popcorn stuff, if you're not too queasy at the sight of blood, and lots of it!
