Review of Blade (1998) by Hate E — 10 Aug 2011
No, not utter shock at this dull movie, but utter shock at that wildly positive response to such trifle. I love trashy vampire horror flicks as much as the next guy, but "Blade" isn't even that. It's a poor excuse for Kris Kristofferson to work, for Wesley Snipes to flex, and for Stephen Dorff to act tough.
When did vampires become such wussies? Garlic-tipped bullets kill them? A blood-derivative serum makes them explode? It's worse than the "holy-water balloon grenades" in "From Dusk Till Dawn".
Aside from the fact that I abhor this film, I think that the poor special effects have been wholly overlooked. Has anybody but me noticed how bad the CGI effects are in this film? I've seen Playstation games with better graphics. Go see "Vampires" for some classically styled effects, and not all this CGI crap.
