Realistic

Rating: 7/10 (17 September 2011)

This was and still is one of the best vampire films I have seen. It changed how most of us look at vampires; of course it still consists of vampires only coming out at night which should stay that way. The wooden stake method is definitely over used but vampires do need a weakness besides sunlight because, come on who's going to be able to make the sun appear in the middle of the night or always be carrying a UV flashlight continuously? So silver is the only alternative and we all know that only werewolves are allergic to silver but it needed a change of direction as well. The idea of blade being more than just a mere human and not a total "suckhead" either but both species rolled into one was a pretty interesting factor. Now of course other movies decided to steal that idea and make it their own but most of us know where that idea originated from; at least I like to think so.
The graphics of this film were amazing to say the least. They were of course not over used like most (movies) tend to do and I loved the blood. This was, in my opinion used only when needed and not a complete gore - a - thon.
Language - okay let's face it; not everyone really comments on the bad language in films or otherwise is so used to it ( I will admit I am very used to it) and doesn't pay attention to it. This film tends to only use it to emphasize what their trying to say as important or to reveal their emotions. In most movies, just about every sentence or after every couple words there is a swear word in it. Kind of overused and annoying and not forget to mention that some people are really bad at it (not like we're practicing).
Hmm...what else am I forgetting? Oh yeah, the bad - So the part we have been waiting for the entire stinking time after all the goodie goodie nonsense. I do not like the fact that all the toughies are practically wearing the same outfit material. Leather, precisely black. Frost, Blade, some of the other random vampires and not forget to mention innocent little Karen, how sweet. Blade I can understand and maybe frost but Karen? I don't think so. A sweet doctor who's used to wearing sophisticated clothing just doesn't decide to wear the look alike outfit with a guy like blade ( Trust me, those who wear leather the first time feel a little uncomfortable for a while. I know I was for awhile) Some how I doubt a doctor like her will all of a sudden change their style in a single day, unless of course you're named karen and your in your 20's, 30's. How very strange.
