She went to the hostpital because she was bit but she also was having the baby!So that means the baby was half mortal half not! Its all about him trying to save the world from the vampires. You should check out the sound track. 11 and 12 is the best. I guarntee that!Please get this movie. IT'S THE BOMB!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent DVD production(almost as good as the Thing)
Review: New Order and Polygon Windows(aka Aphex Twin) included on the Score, pumps this marvel movie into an action/gore behemoth that will eat you alive. Effects are good / bad but the bad gives the movie that b movie appeal. Who said an African American could not be a superhero, Wesley Snipes gives a perfect super hero performance!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sound Showcase
Review: If you have a home theater system that is wasted on movies like You've Got Mail, then this movie is for you. This movie is a showcase for Dolby 5.1 sound. The only thing better would be a DTS version. Oh yeah, it's a highly entertaining movie, too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must-have for any serious vampire flick fan!
Review: I have been a fan of the vampire sub-genre in general and of Blade in particular (e.g. in his appearances in the Marvel comic books) ever since I was a kid. This movie served to more or less re-invent the character, at least from the point of view of the comic book fandom (e.g. the Marvel character wasn't even a vampire to begin with!). Although this fact usually turns-off most purists, I for one am very impressed with this revised treatment which in my opinion breathes much-needed life to an otherwise "degenerating" (e.g. in terms of fan interest) character.

Wesley Snipes' grim and gritty portrayal of Blade was perfectly pulled off and I can think of no other actor who can be more fit for this semi-tragic role. His mastery of the Brazilian hard styles was both very evident and apt. Stephen Dorff's acting was likewise very convincing as, well, the resident "bad boy" among (very, very) bad boys. Ditto for Kris Kristofferson and the rest (including Traci Lords' brief cameo).

This disc is packed with tons of bonus features, most notable for me of which is an alternate ending which is very interesting (mouth-watering actually, making you wish for a sequel especially after seeing the final scenes), although still inferior/somewhat lame even when juxtaposed against the final product. My only complaint is the House of Erebus slide section; I found it very difficult to read the text which is unfortunate because the info on the various branches of the vampire family was very interesting. Too bad also that there wasn't any time to develop this further ala C.Thomas Howell's Kindred series; it would have been interesting to see the interaction/conflicts between the vampire sub-families. I hope they end up doing either a sequel or, better yet, a tv series/spin-off.

This is a very well-done quasi-horror/quasi-martial arts flick which is well worth its price...especially with the added bells and whistles. I feel that other DVDs should at least have some of these features built in them (e.g. featurettes other than the standard fare of theatrical trailers and interactive menus!)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Bloody fun
Review: No doubt, this is the best vampire movie of all time. Action is rolling and it's storyline strong. Ranks with Batman as one of the greatest comic book movies ever. Why four stars? Some may find the violence disturbing.
