Staring Wesley Snipes & Stephen Dorff
Rating MA
Score 4/6
When his mother was bitten by a vampire while pregnant, Blade was born with all of the strengths of a vampire and none of their weaknesses. He grew up and became a vampire hunter to avenge his mother’s death. The Vampires need Blade’s blood to bring about a vampire apocalypse with the coming of the blood god La Magra.
The first and the best movie in the Blade franchise, and possibly one of Wesley Snipes’ better action movies. All though I am unfamiliar with the source material I would also put forward Blade as being an example of being a good comic book movie. The true stand out of this movie was Stephen Dorff who blitzed this movie with his performance as Deacon Frost.
