Not the epic I expected

Rating: 5/10 (3 September 2013)

An over-8 rating on IMDb is usually a certification of greatness or at the very least an indication that the movie is watchable. In my personal view, "Blood" is neither great nor really watchable. The main beef I have with "Blood" is the lack of a gripping storyline. The movie goes on and on and does at no point build up a climax. Secondly, it is indeed a dark and negative movie - which doesn't automatically make it bad, but in "Blood", there was just no compelling driver for the evil, no fight between good and bad. The movie lacked any sort of passion. Yes, I believe the acting by DDL was very good and yes, the visuals and camera were equally excellent. But as an advocate for storyline, I felt incredibly bored after about 30 minutes into the movie and that feeling never stopped.
