I still can’t believe Blade is almost 20 years old. This movie was way ahead of its time. The first use of bullet dodging with bullet time (pre-Matrix), some amazingly iconic vampire scenes that rival anything that’s come out in the past 20 years, and a classic Wesley Snipes performance that’s as cool as as it is ridiculous, I loved every minute of it.
This film still holds up today. Despite the over the top punching sound effects and some of the 1990’s stylistic choices, this could come out today and hold its own as a great little vampire action flick. I guess they don’t make them like they used to. If it’s been a while (or if you’ve never seen it) and you like vampires and lots of hand to hand fights, this is worth checking out.
