overall and i give this film a decent 7 . 6. to start i will say i love how the character be portray and adapt on to the screen . if you read comic occasionally or simply watch dvd extra you will see the blade character be drastically different from the one we see in the film . among the change and blade be now most importantly half vampire and therefore acquire all of their strength and but none of their weakness . the credit for this go obviously to david goyer and a fellow fan of the darker genre of comic book . thanks to him blade have become a much more interesting character and i find him one of my favorite anti hero really . wesley snipe be bear to play this role and although some would have probably pererred dezenel washington or will smith ( lol ) . his act here doesn not need to be exactly oscar win per say consider the character but i be glad he decids to play the daywalker in the two sequel . also star be stephen dorff a our main villain and kris kristofferson a blade alfred so to speak . the acting be good actually and the action keep the plot go for sure . the opening scene in the club be one of my favorite part i have get to say . as much a like this movie there be few thing that bother me which take away from this film rank with something like spider man or x men . stephen norrington have the villain portray in a way i do not like so much honestly . their line be so full of foul mouth comedy it do not really feel like a comic book film to me . plus la magra a bit disappointing a the final villain but the intense sword fight make up for it i guess . not to mention a sense of extra non realism represent a black man in a leather coat with a sword beaing the # $ % ^ out of a cop in broad day light some how go unnoticed by the crowd walking by seem kinda . well . dumb . move away from a few of it flaw and the music by mark isham be great and fit the film nicely . luckily all these problem be fix and improve on in the stunning sequel and blade 2 .
