First movie to deserve being called "stylish"

Rating: Null/10 (4 January 1999)

WOW, this is it! All the time, you hear someone announcing his movie to be "stylish" and "cool", meaning "I've used some camera filters that made the whole thing look completely weird" etc. "Blade" is the first movie, that really got it right: Although director Norrington uses a style usually used on MTV or in a commercial for cars, it really seems to fit into the neo-vampire world. The hip techno-soundtrack adds to that feeling and Blade himself is, I'm happy to say so, really cool! Okay, okay, he's just another macho-hero of sorts, but one shouldn't care,if he's up to watching this movie! "Blade" is a fun-movie: Don't think, enjoy! The story isn't that bad, but certainly the worst flaw of the movie. The martial arts delivered by Snipes (he choreographed it himself) is ranking from "all right" up to "hey, that was really good", but without ever reaching the quality of the earlier van Damme movies. I keep thinking that Snipes could even do better than that, but wants to stay "realistic", something van Damme never even tried. The film is really worth watching, especially for Action and Martial Arts Fans. Only you Horror-Addicts beware: As a horror-movie it really sucks, cause there's not much to be afraid of in it.
