Blade

Pros: Snipes, Dorff, vampires, special effects
Cons: some cheesy lines

I have never been a vampire fan up until my teenage years. My brother was always watching vampire movies and reading related books. I think that the Lost Boys was the first vampire movie that I ever saw. Ever since then, I have been into these bloo ...

Pros: special effects
Cons: writing, acting, excessive gore, too loud

Wesley Snipes is an excellent actor, and one of the sexiest men currently appearing on the silver-screen. Unfortunately, in this movie, Mr. Snipes' acting ability is not apparent, and even his sensual presence is not enough to get past the graphic gore...

Pros: …
Cons: …

I don’t know what it is, really, but I’ve always been a fan of vampire movies. When I heard about Blade, I was sort of interested in it. I knew the basic concept: There was this guy, Blade, who was sort of a vampire but not really. He was out to rid ...

Pros: Full af action
Cons: none

Based on a comic book, Blade has brought its heavy hitting action to the big screen and now to the home theater.
Wesley Snipes stars as blade, a half vampire/half human who is known as a daywalker. His quest find the vampire that bit his mother and...

Pros: Good special effects and photography.
Cons: Logic, acting, dialog. Did I mention logic?

BLADE (1) is the beginning of what turned into a three film franchise and then a short-lived TV series, none of them particularly good. But BLADE (by which I mean the first movie) was probably the best of this poor bunch, which regrettably is not saying ...

Pros: Great acting, imaginative plot, camera angles
Cons: Gore goes over the top unnecessarily, ending drags on

Although I don’t agree with Halloween, I do like to use it as an excuse to watch something scary. I thought about heading down to the local video store and getting my all-time favourite horror movie Scream, until I looked at the TV listings and sa ...

Pros: Great fast paced action; Extremely well written
Cons: Minor logical flaws

Blade (Wesley Snipes) is the grim bad-ass vampire hunter that has declared war on the whole vampire race because one killed his mother before he was born. Since this movie was adapted from a comic book, there is a long history of rules one should know....

Pros: Wesley Snipes, loads of blood and action
Cons: Not for the squeamish

I love films with Wesley Snipes and when this came out on DVD I just had to have it! Hubby is used to my penchant for vampire films and just did the right thing by keeping quiet and letting me have my way. I'm sure you all know me well enough by now - if ...

Pros: Nightmarish visuals, tight plotting, good direction, Wesley Snipes, and N'Bushe Wright
Cons: Loose editing, confusing storyline, and Stephen Dorff

The coolest thing about this movie is that they could put it right next to Blacula in the "horror" section at your local video store.

Think about it: Both feature a black actor as a vampire (or half-vampire), both feature stunning...

Pros: amazing effects, some great performances, good cinematography
Cons: some of Snipes's dialog is a bit cheesy

The biggest problem with any movie that’s been adapted from a comic book or comic strip is that inevitable, fans will compare the two, ultimately citing how the film doesn’t live up to the original. This may be the case with "Blade", but I...

Pros: the action
Cons: certain shots in the film

I like Wesley Snipes, I like Kris Kristofferson, he's my namesake for crying out loud! And I usually like movie based on comic books. "Batman" was good; even "Mystery Men" was good. Then there's "Blade", probably the most...

Pros: Characters, Story, Cinematography,
Cons: Very Bloody Vampire Flick

Comic Book Movies were in the past horrible movies, Batman and Superman being the only exception. Blade joins the two-movie in this highly sought after spot in moviedom where you don’t have to know about the character before you enter the theater which...

Pros: Exploding body parts, blood geysers, N'Bushe Wright
Cons: Script includes attempt to explain vampirism through genetics (honestly!)

A burnt-beyond-recognition man about to be autopsied leaps up off the metal table and bites the neck of both doctors standing over him. One of them has just remarked that his teeth look a little strange. A big African-American (Wesley Snipes) wearing...

Pros: Snipes, action, stylish direction of Norrington
Cons: bad dialogue, stupid plot, bad acting, excessive gore

As a big fan of superhero movies there has often been an unspoken myth that Marvel can't make a good superhero movie. Their early 90s ventures of "The Punisher" and "Captain America" were direct-to-video embarassments and another...

Pros: Great Action, lots of blood & guts
Cons: some of the timing is just a little TOO perfect...

I really wish I had a dollar for every time I have watched this movie. I bought it for the bus ride from MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, FL to whichever AF Base it was in northern Alabama that I flew out of with the Army to head to El Salvador for...
