90% Action, 10% Plot, 100% Fun!

Rating: 7/10 (23 March 2002)

Let's start off by dispelling the downsides of this movie. Sure, the plot isn't solid as a rock, it's a bit predictable, and it's gory as hell...now to the good...Director Del Toro literally FORCE FEEDS you action in this movie! It still amazes me to realize how much fighting was in those two hours! Wesley Snipes is his usual bad@$$ self, and Blade's confidence in his skills are comical at times. The new twist of Blade fighting alongside of the vampires is interesting, since you'll find out *SPOILER* that the group of fighters he joins with were actually trained to kill HIM! There's a lot more hand to hand combat in this movie...just straight fists, which is alright, but I prefer Blade's sword! haha There were a couple more downsides to the movie, such as obvious computer animation (but if you take into account the impossible moves, you'll understand), the weak love story, and the moderate villian, who, I'm sorry, but does not compare at all to the slick and crafty Deacon Frost. However, if you're thirsting for some blood...Errrr...Action...pay the seven bucks because you'll end up getting 100 dollars worth! And Blade fans...I don't even need to tell you to see it...you already have!
