One of the Greatest

Rating: 6/10 (18 October 2016)

I saw this movie for the first time last year at age 24 and I was at how good it was. Every studio making comic book movies need to take a lesson from this movie. Great hero, great villain and Proof that that a movie can be dark without being depressing and more importantly Proof that a movie can be great fun without ever being silly (looking at you Marvel) Definite Classic! It's almost funny how well received this movie is. I recall seeing a documentary (it may have been on the DVD) where the director said something along the lines that they had nothing to go on and was pretty much making things up as the movie progressed. Turned out Stephen Norrington did a very good job. Also, I was a bit disappointed knowing that most of the Blade action wasn't Wesley, but his stunt double. Every person that served can be called a veteran, but not every veteran can be called a Marine.
