Blade (DVD) Reviews

Vampirism is a fascinating and very old cultural artifact that far predates the writings of Bram Stoker, but sadly most modern vampire films tend to be throwaway teen angst flicks with a light horror edge. The original blade is itself pretty throwaway, but largely manages to redeem itself with lots of excellent comic-book violence and some ...  Read the complete review

note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room Of all of the Marvel comic book adaptations, one of my favourite is without a doubt Blade - it is one of the few that's not so family friendly and has a more mature personality to it, recieving an 18 rating for its graphic violence. It is this film that made audiences realise ...  Read the complete review

Blade is a 1998 vampire film, loosely based on the work of Marvel Comics. The film is rated 18 because of minor sexual references, a whole lot of violence, blood and gore and a lot of bad language and it runs for 115 minutes.

This has got be one of the best if the best vampire movies of all time. When I first watch Blade I was only like 10 or 11 so I couldn't appreciate the movie to its fullest. So I bought the trilogy when it first came out, and have watched them all so many times that I can word the film off by heart. The graphics aren't as good as today's but you ...  Read the complete review

It could be said that two groups have consistently caused major strife in the life of Mr. Wesley Snipes. One is a gang of blood sucking deviants intent on destabilising society, the other are vampires. Yes, several years before his flight from the Tax-man, Snipes was carving a bloody name for himself in a low budget movie that despite ...  Read the complete review

Blade is a vampire film with a difference, and that is that the vampire is the good guy. The same could be said for twilight to an extent. Though, the vampires in that aren't really good, just that they are not bad. This is a film where the vampire hunts and kills the vampires, and actually enjoys it to a degree. Blade cares for humans and works ...  Read the complete review

~ The Power of an Immortal ~ Blade is a Vampire action film starring famous actor and a personal favourite of mine Wesley Snipes. It was interesting to know that Wesley as well as starring in the film helped produce it. It is based slightly on the Marvel comic of the character Blade but has been changed to make a dark and sexy film. ...  Read the complete review

Blade could've easily been just another "Vampire Movie" with its recycled vampire myths, and equally disposable update of CGI. Fortunately, it oozes coolness, blending action and horror together in a frantic, yet sensual, manner, which clearly puts it in a league of its own, and establishes itself as a cult classic. Right from ...  Read the complete review

Wesley Snipes plays Blade - a half human half vampire all action vampire hunter with an extreme attitude for his job (who the vampres refer to as "Day Walker" due to his human ability to survive in daylight). No kicking asses or taking names, just lots of killing vampires to rid the Earth of the foul undead. Eventually he becomes ...  Read the complete review

Blade was first released in 1998, directed by Stephen Norrington, and starring Wesley Snipes as a half human half vampire, who's mission is to slay all the bad vampires of the world. When I first saw this film I loved it, I was a big fan of the comic books, and watching a big screen adaptation was just well worth the wait. I thought snipes was a ...  Read the complete review

Wesley Snipes is 'Blade', a vampire hunter who just happens to be half vampire himself in Stephen Norrington's slightly dated but fun action film from 1998. Blade, according to the blurb, has the power of an immortal, the soul of a human and the heart of a hero. With his vampire powers, sunglasses, trusty sword, high-tech weaponry and fondness for ...  Read the complete review

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 it comes in the genre of horror then I will want to watch it! So we bought this and ...  Read the complete review

Blade was originally created for marvel comics and this is the first in the series of blade movies. Unlike other vampires, Blade is able to walk in ...  Read the complete review

It's difficult to believe that The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (or the Film of Extraordinary Badness, as I prefer to call it) and Blade were both directed by the same man - Stephen Norrington. Sure, they may be superficially similar - both focus on lesser known comic book characters, both have slightly darker heroes. In practice, though, ...  Read the complete review

There seems to be two defined paths for Comic book to film conversions in Hollywood these days. Of course we have the distinctly average films like Spiderman and Daredevil. On the flip side of these there are one or two decent films like X Men that at least show that decent comic book conversions can be done. One of the best conversions in my ...  Read the complete review

As a follower of vampire movies and comic books i was eager to watch this movie to see how well it had progressed to the big screen. Although i have followed all the Blade movies i have to admit i feel this is the worst out the lot. Comic book to movie films are notorious of being a little dry and Blade is no exception (unfortunatly). Blade is ...  Read the complete review
