Marv Wolfman should be proud!

Rating: Null/10 (6 March 2003)

Because this film adaptation gets better and better, every time I see it. Though I hate to admit it, I remember the TOMB OF Dracula issue that Blade first debuted in,...AND I NEVER BOUGHT IT! How I mentally kick myself, today. Back then, he wore a brown leather safari jacket, way-cool green goggles, and an Afro halfway in size between Richard Roundtree (the original "Shaft") and Clarence Williams III (the original "Mod Squad Linc"). He got revamped (no pun intended) in the early Nineties as an African-American samurai, and that's how Wesley Snipes has immortalized him. *POSSIBLE SPOILERS HERE!* The final showdown, between Blade and Deacon Frost, has special effects that will inevitably be compared to "Matrix" or "Crouching Tigers, etc. etc." Even so, this movie justly deserved to have a sequel, and I eagerly await the next one (rumored to be scheduled for a 2004 release date).
