Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): blade is the movie that shows that wesley snipes really can live up to his potential as one of hollywood 's premier leading men .
blade is based on the comic book character of the same name and has that comic book kind of feel to it .
it is a very stylish movie and for the most part that style works very well .
although , at a few points i thought i was watching a music video as opposed to a movie .
the ideas behind blade are good , as is the basic plot of the story .
but at times , things seem to get a bit muddled , and the writers appear to want to do too many things at once .
that really does n't take away from the story too much , but it does hurt it a little bit .
blade ( snipes ) is half man , half vampire .
his mother was bitten by a vampire when she was pregnant with him and as a result he has many of the classic traits of a vampire .
including a thirst for human blood that must be kept under control by a special serum which quenches his blood lust .
blade has spent his life hunting down and killing vampires as a sort of revenge for the fact that one of their kind killed his mother .
but this is n't as easy as it seems , because the vampires in blade 's world are more sophisticated than the ones that you find in most films .
the government and other authorities know of the existence of vampires , but they let them feast of the population at large because they are taking bribes from the vampires .
where do vampires get money ?
well , in blade , they run multinational companies in order to finance their vampire organizations .
i personally thought that this whole secret corporate world run by vampires to be a very clever idea , and a great addition to the movie .
blade runs up against the evil deacon frost ( stephen dorff ) a maverick in the vampire community .
he is n't content to live among humans , and is convinced that the vampire race is the superior one and he means to insure its superiority .
he has managed to translate the ancient vampire scrolls that tell of the method of making him an all - powerful vampire -- rendering him virtually unstoppable .
it 's up to blade to see that this does n't transpire .
admittedly , blade is style over substance through and through .
the story is a relatively forgettable one , but it is fun none the less .
the acting in blade is just about what you would expect from a movie of this type .
this is n't a film that is going to win accolades for its performances , and the actors know this .
the movie is played for fun and nobody seems to think otherwise .
it 's a popcorn movie , and no one involved has any illusions otherwise .
blade 's production values are as slick as any that you will find in your typical summer blockbuster .
the combat sequences between blade and his vampire targets are incredibly well done .
although , the mtv - style cuts did get on my nerves after a while during long sequences .
blade is a fun movie with an interesting take on the vampire genre .
this is not the movie for those of you who like your vampires in tuxedos and living in coffins in the basement of some gothic castle .
what blade excels
at is bringing the classic lore of the vampire into the next century with a fresh outlook on life .
very cool .
