Total Trash

Rating: Null/10 (30 December 1998)

Blade is total trash. High concept, expense trash. The script is the written version of Swiss cheese. How many plot holes does a movie need before the people pumping tens of millions of dollars into it decide it's time to rethink some thing. Wesley Snipes, usually a good actor, was dreadful as Blade. Acting like you are on a combination of Prozac and Valium does not come off like the character has a wounded soul. Blade acts like a really dull, unimaginative guy who can do only one thing well, and that is to kick ass. The Techno-Industrial music was great in the unoriginal Discos of Death scenes, but it was an awful choice in the fighting scenes. I wanted to leave the movie and go out dancing.
