even the vampires thought it was good

Rating: Null/10 (6 August 1999)

This movie is my favourite action flic to date. I thought everything from the story to the characters to the effects were wonderful. I've grown up with my share of action/adventure movies -- they used to be all my older brother would watch -- and I enjoy them fine. I have nothing against them. Except after a while all the plots get a little too similar, the endings become quite predictable. I find action movies are often full of cliches.
But I really appreciated Blade. Stephen Dorff put in a solid performance -- he's the most believable vampire I've seen on the screen (big or small) so far. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for some great fight scenes and an interesting plot, along with some fun characters. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how entertaining it is.
