No blood on that blade...

Rating: 6/10 (24 November 2019)

Blade has one of the most cool openings of any super hero movies. It is with pain that I watched the rest of the movie, seeing how all of that could be so much better than it is. My biggest issue with this movie actually has nothing to do with story or acting. No... It's about blood. When Blade enters that club at the beginning of the movie, you expect to see a monstrous bloodshed. I mean, it's not like it's problem to show blood, they already drenched the whole club in blood. But no, when Blade kills vampires, they just disintegrate. Why?! It feels so out of place and wrong, it literally pains me to see action scene potential not being used to it's fullest. So, what you have left is vampire killing machine who kills vampires, but that killing doesn't look as nearly as spectacular and fun as it could look. And when you add to it the odd pacing of the movie and the way characters are developed, it doesn't really make us care all that much and in the end, you are left with really mediocre movie that could have been so much better if it's makers knew what they wanted to do. 6/10, try to watch it for fun...
