Review of Blade

Blade (1998)
7/10
Iconic Opener

That blood bath club scene was so awesome. Best part of the movie in my opinion and set the tone going forward.

'Blade' is credited with starting off the success of Marvel films, and even saving the comic book genre in general. A year before we had 'Batman & Robin' which was so full of camp you could have roasted marshmellows in the theatre. Watching 'Blade' 25 years later, it still has some corny moments, though it fits right in with the late 90's and was simply the times.

Wesley Snipes was the perfect choice for Blade, no question. Still waiting for the new adaptation, and although I have every bit of confidence in Mahershala Ali, he has big boots and a sleek leather jacket to fill. I don't think Stephen Dorff gets enough credit either as the villain, he was very good too.
