This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Movie Review: "Blade" (1998)New Line Cinema as required Warner Bros. Picture affiliate, distributes an amazingly visceral comic book adaptation with first appearances of the title-given character within an almost forgotten "Marvel Universe" in series since publishing "Tomb of Dracula", starting from 1973, when director Stephen Norrington, at age 33, inherits all the trust by his producers, especially strings-pulling executives Stan Lee & Avi Arad, to bring a bold version to the movie theatres tinted in bloody reds and visual-striking scenes embedded in light & shadow with actor Wesley Snipes in the title role featuring on his best efforts of his acting career, getting supported all along in 115-Minute-Final-Cut opening with a secret night club underground scenario under pumping beats by DJ Krush, when supports all-along up front Kris Kristofferson as "Blade" medically-conditioning character of "Whistler" must give in under nemesis vampire Deacon Frost and his street-running thugs, portrayed by fully-character-inhabited Hollywood actor Stephen Dorff so that 28-year-old N'Bushe Wright as Nurse Karen, struggling with the drug of vampirism herself, where the close-to-neo science-fiction-movie in timeless decor by production designer Kirk M. Petruccelli delivers the ultimate vampire-action-film by following the genre rules of engagement to open revisits for any generation to follow the art of moviemaking.Copyright 2018 Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC

In itself a super cool movieBlade is definitely super cool money for the movie as well as for the main character. However, the film has little '90s troops that are quite outdated and take something out of the sails of the wind, the same goes for the' 90s CGI effects, but instead kicked 3 annoying action movie cliches as it should be.I love to watch movies that stand out from the others. I love it when I do not know who in that time a surprisingly big part and I love R rated comic book adaptations (Blabe came first).But there are many things about this movie that bother me, such as the constant shaky cam, is a tripod really that expensive? The back and forth intersect between the normal dialogues, not everything has to be presented excitingly high 10, because that makes the really exciting something bland. The main villain is just as old as muscular and looks as cool as the hero, so it would be better if he stings out more, especially as he is in a wheel full of old men who look like they are having children's souls to fight to the top as he represents the new kind and the new danger. Then do it too dangerously enough: if your rogue is not cool, then make him ... huge and scary, scary, super strong, diabolical, or at least entertaining enough that it does not interest you like boring.Seriously Deacon Frost just does not say it out and behaved like that until the climax, I wonder why we and the ever wasting our time with him, at least if he was super pretty and always well-dressed, you could at least to conclude that he served only as their figurehead and that would explain his motivation but unfortunately no! Nothing like that!Or we just change a few character traits and attributes in this movie because Frost's right hand, his asshole, was so nasty and so annoying that she always wanted to clap her hands when Blade missed one, her jokes were damned funny and his whole character so exhausting that you're just waiting to satisfy the feeling of salvation when he finally dies. (Unfortunately, a fight as well as his death like sex with a tuna can is painful, disappointing and totally anti-climactic.But those are the mistakes in the script that was probably stretched to double length (with over 10 minutes of filler), an amateur music video editing and post credit scene which for some reason was inserted after a blackout but before the credits, there are only a few plot Holes in the bad plan but otherwise there is not much to find worthy in this movie.The fights are exciting, so the characters are super interesting the whole movie has a cool look, only half of the movie is night city and even the scenes that take place at night are neatly photographed and lit up so you can see enough and that Film has enough stuntwork for about 50 trailers.

Another vampire movie about trauma. This time the main character like paladin Dante with amnesia at the level of the guy calling the cocaine who hunts for his type of androids, Blade knows that he is a vampire with a cheerful Christian goat the slave eagerly sets out to hunt for vampires attention, cocaine substitutes him of course the serum that he got from a nearby pharmacy named after St Paul from Arkansas. Of course no one at that time did not know about ibuprom, apap and other painkillers (Painkiller smile http://www.knightdiscounts.com/software/gamepainkillerse2.jpg). 11/10.

A half-vampire, half-mortal man becomes a protector of the mortal race, while slaying evil vampires. Pretty much everyone knows that before X-Men (2000) Marvel was basically a nobody and movies such as Captain America (1990) and Fantastic Four (1994) prove how the 90's were a bad time for them but somewhere around 1998 a little film called 'Blade' hit the big screen and it turned out to be Marvel's first big movie that both fans and critics liked (except Rotten Tomatoes as always). Blade has been perfectly casted as Wesley Snipes he is entertaining and just epic in every scene that he is in it also Kris Kristofferson as Whistler great character played by an excellent actor. Now the action is terrific especially the opening scene in the Club where Blade goes full beast mode in a bunch of vampires that was pretty awesome, the villains played by Stephen Dorff, Arly Jover and Donal Logue were also pretty good but i'll get in a bit more spoiler territory in a second. Now as far as the villains went and the basic story about the Blood God and that whole thing i found it very cheesy i mean there's a scene where Deacon Frost says that Blood God is the toughest and most powerful vampire that has ever lived on this world and yet in less than 4 minutes he turns into a balloon after Blade shoots him with his serum and i felt that there was no real danger for the hero at all and the same goes for the other 2 villains especially Quinn i mean his death was pretty quick and disappointing but at the same time kinda badass and the same goes for Mercury all 3 of them were killed pretty easily and the whole plan of Frost in the end was kinda retarded if you think about it plus you do get the feeling that you're watching a 90's film thanks to those crappy cgi effects but overall Blade is still a fun film i still freaking enjoyed the hell out of it in terms of action, acting and characters it's a 10 easily but it does have it's fair share of flaws and that is mostly with the 3rd act and Frost's gigantic master plan. The sequels that followed i have reviewed them ages ago and i gotta say after watching Blade (1998) once again i still think that Blade II is the Best of the Trilogy not just because of the cool story with the Reapers but also because of the excellent director behind which is Guillermo del Toro now as far as Blade Trinity goes? I do understand that it does have some flaws not many but just some here and there but the villain and the 3rd act it's still miles better than this film's ending. I'm going to give Blade an A-
