Rating: 7/10
An in depth conversation about vampire films led to the realisation that I had only seen Blade II, something I knew I had to fix.
Although, Blade isn't really a vampire movie, Blade is more of a vampire slayer movie. It's no The Lost Boys (my favourite film about vampires), but it is nonetheless a great film. It has a strong cast and an interesting premise. Having not read the source comics, I cannot comment on how true to the origins it is, but I can say that it is a lot better than most vampire films around at the moment, *ahem*.
Visually, Blade is incredibly well made, one of the opening scenes, a rave in which the sprinklers spray blood on the revellers, is particularly memorable.
All in all, an enjoyable film that I am surprised I haven't seen before.
