Blade

BladeThe Gist: Blade, a hybrid human-vampire who can walk in the sun, hates his vampire side and all vampires and is on a quest to kill as many as he can.  His meeting with Deacon Frost, who dreams of ruling the vampires and enslave the human race, will prove decisive.

I don’t know the comic book this character comes from but given the vampire theme, which I like very much, I decided to give it a try.

The end result is pretty much what I was expecting, a very forgettable movie that barely manages to be lightly entertaining.

And yet, I can’t give it a passing grade because I found the production values, including the visual effects, a little lacking.  And the acting comes across as pretty campy, especially Wesley Snipes’, even though perhaps that’s how the character is written in the comics and they wanted to maintain that vibe.

The Bottom Line: Don’t expect too much and you won’t be too disappointed.  Watch it at your own risk.

Grade: 5
