okay and sure and this movie be a bit on the hokey side . it difficult to take character from comic book and put them into movie with any credibility ( dolph lundgren a the punisher and anyone . ) and but this try very hard . i have never read the actual comic book and but that doesn not really matter and i suppose . i judge a film mainly on it merit and not on whether it be a faithful retelling of someone else idea . ( unless it a film base on a true story and that demand at least some attempt at truth and accuracy . ) so why will i give this movie a fairly high rating . because it try . it try very hard . in my book and that make it a fair attempt at an entertaining film . many film have be make with vampire subject matter be the main focus . it seem everybody have their take on vampire lore and be it the cross and the silver and the garlic and the aversion to sunlight and whatever . some of those idea be include here . the storyline be familiar . a group of vampire conspire to take over the world and with one person ( mainly ) stand in their way . blade ( wesley snipe ) live for the sole purpose of the destruction of the vampiric mass and who have slowly but surely move into the world and and share it with humankind . for the most part and the human race be blind to the fact that vampire exist all around them . the vampire have even take familiar and people who aspire to be vampire and do the vampire dirty work for them to show how worthy they be of eventually be turn . now that i think of it and there be many element of this movie similar to the storyline of the roddy piper film and they live . a hidden enemy and hidden group of people plot against them and the fight to save human kind . all that be present in blade as well . the act isn not the best here . snipe be and at best and only slightly good than some of his other role while nbushe wright and a relative newcomer and isn not too bad while kris kristofferson be forgettable a blade sidekick ( he to blade what chip be to the punisher ) . stephen dorff do the best job of the whole cast here and a the head vampire you just love to hate . i do not know and but i just love the special effect in this film . from the blood soak vampire style rave and all the way to the inevitable fight at the finale of the film and the special effect aren not half bad . there certainly enough blood and gore to go around and but after all and this be a vampire movie and right . the various shape and sort of weaponry blade us be fairly unique and and not generally use in contemporary action film . snipe have more flair with a deck out sword than he do with and say and a machine gun . plus and there so much more thought that go into fight with a blade than just blow someone away . ( unless and of course and you be indiana jones . ) overall and this isn not the best action film ever make and but it not half bad and either . a a bonus and the musical score and soundtrack be pretty cool and too . tell me and in what other movie can you hear super drumnbass like source direct or photek . my rating represent positive .
