Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun, campy horror flick with lots of "extras"
Review: You gotta hand it to the New Line Platinum series - they make even your average movies worth buying on DVD. Blade is above average, a fun horror flick with good effects and lots of camp. It's the DVD extras that make this worth buying. Great commentary and behind-the-scenes insights that deepen one's appreciation for the film even further.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BLADE IN A NUTSHELL
Review: I FIRST SAW BLADE ON A PAY PER VIEW CHANNEL AND REALLY ENJOYED IT. THE SPECIAL EFFECTS WERE GREAT AND THE STORY LINE WAS EXCELLENT. ONCE YOU SEE THE ORIGIN OF BLADE YOU KNOW WHY HE DOES WHAT HE DOES AND TRIES TO RID THE WORLD OF VAMPIRES.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: 2nd to Battlefield Earth
Review: Look, I won't delve too much into how Blade reeks (it's not worth it); instead, I'll just say that its special effects are its only decent quality (but that its plot can be easily deciphered eons before its next series of events happen). So, in conclusion (and unless you're infatuated with bad movies) don't waste your money and/or time on Blade.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Blade comic hero come film
Review: Blade is a interesting Vampire film with an interesting twist. It has good special effects. Plenty of action and some very good fight scenes and set in modern day. The director is Stephen Norrington, Main actors; Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorf. This film is 117 mins long, and has an alternative ending! The script, some times feels a little unrealistic, but this is a vampire film and tries to keep to the original script.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pleasantly Surprised
Review: This is a pretty good movie. I have to admit being a bit surprised that they did as good a job as they did, given _Spawn_ and any number of bad comic to movie transitions.

Wesley Snipes does a good job, and Kris Kristofferson is a pleasant surprise.

Now the DVD itself is awesome, it sets a high standard for others to follow. THere are jsut so many cool extras here.

I would definitely reccomend this one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Bloodbath
Review: I love the beginning of this movie with the bloodbath and the fighting. And the music is killer, the soundtrack is a must have if you like Techno! I like the half human half vampire, superbeing, with a purpose!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's the bomb, the shockwave, the flying glass..
Review: The problem with America is that there are too many soft cushy malls into which ugly hairy movies are screened. On the other hand, sometimes an ugly hairy movie is so much fun you forget that you are in a mall.

Where did Batman go terribly wrong? Why was Spawn such a yawn? Well, cinematically speaking, my explanation might not suffice, but I know this much: whoever made 'Blade' got it right. Down to the last edit. I am digging into my black boots to come up with raving superlatives kiddies. This movie is not only the bomb, it is the shockwave, the flying glass and the crunching concrete and steel. I have never felt so cool driving my own chrome-rimmed black euro-sedan pumping bass, as just after seeing 'Blade'. The charge of coolness lasts long after the final credits. I'm going to see it again. And probably again too.

When I saw 'Passenger 57', it was at a midnight show off Times Square with a packed house of nightcrawling action hounds. I'm wishing to be with just such a rowdy crowd for the next screening of Blade, because Wesley Snipes has just outdone himself. Yeah he was bad in p57, and I could dig his Simon Phoenix badass, but neither of these characters matches the ferocious intensity of Blade. Blade is pure focus, absolute fury and lethal precision. All that and black leather, silver hollowpoint bullets and a titanium pig sticker. Ouch! Bite me, Terminator.

Plot is satisfactorily straightforward, never lurching off too far. But the action! Oh mercy Jesus this man can fight! The effects are seamless and never overblown - car chases are speedily goofed up for effect, the clouds and ominous music are done just right, the 'America is f'd up' is left out of the picture, there are enough Asians in the movie to remind you that Asians are left out of movies, and there is enough mayhem to satisfy appetites for destruction without overdoing it. It's funky and hip. I'm even thinking about grabbing the soundtrack. In other words this is an absolute first class action flick and it hits just the right balance.

So, what's not to like? Well for one thing, you never get the impression that Blade can lose. The bad guy in this flick, sneered by what I suppose is the coolest of the new looking evil dudes, is no physical menace. We know he's up to something evil, but we never get a first hand look at his cold-blooded capabilities. He just pisses off all the old fogie vampires because he parties all night, wears trashy fashions and smokes like Leonardo DiCaprio. He talks about taking over the world, but we don't see him setting Bosnians off against each other. On the whole, he doesn't seem any more superhumanly bad than your average Noriega. He doesn't even smack his woman.

Nevertheless, Dorff's Deacon Frost does employ a load of pseudo-zombie troops always on the move in a relentless pursuit of Blade. They all end up fodder in a flurry of incredible martial arts stunts and fabulously violent deaths. But of course Blade must be hobbled by babeage, in this case, the smart and somewhat vulnerable N'Bushe Wright who gets to participate in various girl-fights peppered through the flick.

Still, in all. This is the best action flick since, hmmmm. Total Recall.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Action Packed Horror
Review: Wesley Snipes serves as both star and producer of this action-packed film based on the 1970's cult comic book. Snipes is excellent as the blade wielding vampire hunter. N'Bushe Wright (of "Zebrahead" fame) and Stephen Doff also provide steller performances. Dorff's character is one of the most viscious villans in recent film history, and director Stephen Norrington does a spectacular job weaving script, action, and horror. The Plantinum Features featured on this DVD are amazing and the menus are the best animated menus I have ever seen on this new format. New Line Cinema has done an awesome job in selecting the best of their best for this series. If you loved the Matrix, you will love Blade.
