Intense action, nice storyline, and a bad-ass hero

Rating: 9/10 (1 January 2005)

As soon as I saw the trailer for this years ago I knew I had to watch Blade 1 to get to see this thing. I had some sweet expectation for this movie, and guess what, I wasn't disappointed! Some minor spoilers ahead...
This movie, starts off with Blade looking for his mentor Whistler who apparently died in Blade but has actually been kidnapped by the vampires and moved around from place to place. With Whistler gone, Blade has a new sidekick Scud, who is witty, smart, and funny at the same time. After the whole whistler thing, Blade is recruited by the vamps because some a new kind of Vampire called the "Reaper" is out and must be stopped. He must lead a team of vampires who were ironically trained for two years to take Blade out. The story builds from there with a lot of ass-kicking, feeding, blood, humor, and some intense action.
When I first saw this movie I was like WOW. This one had a bit of humor and the action was amazing. Blade somehow appeared cockier, stronger, funnier, and more violent than in the previous Blade movie. The Bloodpack (Vampire group) is not a bad addition to the storyline because they don't take as much camera time as the Nightstalkers in Blade Trinity.
The Effects had a bit of flaws but the martial arts make up for it, the acting job wasn't bad except for some of the BloodPack members (e.g Chupa). The villain is completely bad-ass and just by looking at this guy you know he's something.
Check this movie out if you enjoyed Blade, you will not be disappointed.
9/10
