In 1973, the character Blade was created for Marvel comics by Marv Wolfman. The character is half-human half-vampire, and lives his days seeking and destroying vampires. In 1998, director Stephen Norrington took the helm for the feature film of the comic book series.
The Plot
Groups of vampires are everywhere, and Blade must try and contain them to avoid people dying. The latest band of vampires is led by vampire overlord Deacon Frost, and it is ... ...the all-important toxin to help Blade remain alive and keep his vampirical nature under control. Stephen Dorff excels in evil nature as Deacon Frost.
My Opinion
Blade is the exception to many rules - it is a very cleverly dark and sinister film which captures good cinematography and plot turns and camera work in a blockbuster comic book film. It is a wonderful combination and is my favourite of the Blade films.
Conclusion
A very good adaptation ...

Advantages: Great action scenes and soundtrack Disadvantages: None
Blade was released on the 13th of November 1998.
The genre's that best suit this movie are, action, thriller and horror.
The main actor's are Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorff, and Kriss Kristofferson.
The main storyline is basically that vampire's walk the earth and Blade who is half human half vampire has a goal to try and rid the world from all evil vampire's. Blade, also named daywalker as he is a special kind of vampire than can walk in sunlight, ... ...the first series of the Blade movie's. Wesley Snipes plays the best role as Blade, I don't think anyone else would be able to achieve a super cool vampire as Blade. The action scenes and soundtrack in this movie are excellent. By far the best out of the three movie's. I didn't regret buying this movie.
Overall rating 9.5 out of 10.

Review of Blade 2 (Wide Screen) by

Advantages Wesley Snipes Disadvantages The Reapers!
...I had been waiting for Blade 2, I really enjoyed the first one so when it came out on Good Friday I went to see it. I wasn’t sure what to expect, I didn’t want it to be really rubbish like some sequels are but to my satisfaction I was wrong. The film was as good and Blade.
Don’t worry if you have not seen Blade as you can still watch this film and understand it fully, as it starts off with Blade explaining how Blade finished, he tells you everything you need to know before we get to the story. Important details such as why he is a vampire/human, who whistler is and he relationships with vampires.

The vampires know him as “Daywalker” as he has all the strengths of vampires but he is not affected by light. He does however have to administer himself with a special serum that stops...

Advantages Best of the Blade movies Disadvantages They made Trinity
...Blade 2 is a great movie and quite possibly the best in the trilogy. The movie has some amazing fight scenes, and I prefer the soundtrack in blade 2 to those of the other two Blade movies Blade and Blade Trinity.
In this new campaign against the vampire race the rules will change. Blade who is now supported by Scud a bit of a stoner and also a wiz with electronics. Whistler could be out there somewhere, but maybe it’s too late for Blade to save him, maybe just maybe Blade will have to remove Whistler to give him peace. Although finding Whistler is not a central part of the story I find it integral to the story line as it portrays just how close Blade is to Whistler, he is the only person Blade will seriously trust and listen to under any circumstance.
Anyway the focus of the story in Blade 2 is on a new creature of the night...

Advantages Good effects and combat Disadvantages Too much like an Alien film
...Blade has to be one of my favourite movies of the last five years. The first film was fresh, innovative and stylish and worked extremely well. Such was my enjoyment of the first film that a mixture of excitement and trepidation greeted news of a sequel. It’s a bit like going on a second date – you want more of the same, but you don’t want to spoil the excitement of the first one.
Blade 2 was released on video and DVD for rental and for purchase on Monday September 30th. Needless to say, I wasted no time in hiring a copy, but it has taken me a week or so to gather my thoughts and finally come up with a verdict. And the verdict is?
Reluctant disappointment.
Blade 2 carries on where the last movie left off. A brief narrative at the start of the film reminds us that during the first movie, Blade’s assistant...
