Product Description

Blade (DVD)

The power of an immortal. The soul of a human. The heart of a hero. Sworn to defend humanity, although not entirely human ... Born with the cunning and superhuman power of a vampire, but able to stalk by day as well as night ... Wesley Snipes stars in this action-packed thriller as the immortal vampire hunter Blade. Awakened to consciousness--and pain--before birth by the bite of the undead vampire that kills his mother, a young boy grows into a mythical warrior bearing a blood-curse: An almost insatiable desire for blood that he must fight every moment of every day. Blade uses his awesome power to battle the vampires led by his mortal enemy, the omnipotent vampire overlord Deacon Frost (Stephen Dorff). The undead have infiltrated the corridors of power intent on conquering all mankind; now, against an army of immortals, one warrior must draw first blood.

The recipe for Blade is quite simple; you take one part Batman, one part horror flick, and two parts kung fu and frost it all over with some truly campy acting. What do you get? An action flick that will reaffirm your belief that the superhero action genre did not die in the fluorescent hands of Joel Schumacher. Blade is the story of a ruthless and supreme vampire slayer (Wesley Snipes) who makes other contemporary slayers (Buffy et al.) look like amateurs. Armed with a samurai sword made of silver and guns that shoot silver bullets, he lives to hunt and kill "Sucker Heads." Pitted against our hero is a cast of villains led by Deacon Frost (Stephen Dorff), a crafty and charismatic vampire who believes that his people should be ruling the world, and that the human race is merely the food source they prey on. Born half-human and half-vampire after his mother had been attacked by a blood-sucker, Blade is brought to life by a very buff-looking Snipes in his best action performance to date. Apparent throughout the film is the fluid grace and admirable skill that Snipes brings to the many breathtaking action sequences that lift this movie into a league of its own. The influence of Hong Kong action cinema is clear, and you may even notice vague impressions of Japanese anime sprinkled innovatively throughout. Dorff holds his own against Snipes as the menacing nemesis Frost, and the grizzly Kris Kristofferson brings a tough, cynical edge to his role as Whistler, Blade's mentor and friend. Ample credit should also go to director Stephen Norrington and screenwriter David S. Goyer, who prove it is possible to adapt comic book characters to the big screen without making them look absurd. Indeed, quite the reverse happens here: Blade comes vividly to life from the moment you first see him, in an outstanding opening sequence that sets the tone for the action-packed film that follows. From that moment onward you are pulled into the world of Blade and his perpetual battle against the vampire race. --Jeremy Storey

4.0 out of 5 starsBlade succeeds in being a very fun movie that came out before vampires were reduced to ...
By ManiacalSpark on August 20, 2016
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Blade succeeds in being a very fun movie that came out before vampires were reduced to laughing stocks of sparkling, misunderstood immortals that just want to get along. The vampires in Blade are presented as they commonly were in the past; as ancient, calculating puppetmasters and anarchic individuals (made even more so by the urban, rave focused culture of the late 90s, early 2000s).

However, for all the great action sequences and just the high production values and interesting story, there are little things that do make this from being a full five star review. Sometimes the animations look very dated, the story does stick exposition in clumsily, the female lead exists as little more than a deus ex machina and the actress isn't really all that much of an actress. The story and climax also get pretty predictable and the ending fight is very disappointing, given all the build up to it.

However, Blade is still a classic from a time when vampires were creatures to be feared, not pitied.

4.0 out of 5 starsThis was the Deadpool of the 90's but with vampires.
By Ron Rossmann on December 29, 2016
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
This was the Deadpool of the 90's but with vampires. Too bad it was ahead of its time as comic book films still had the stigma of being solely designed for a rising geekdom. Snipes makes an iconic Blade and the storyline, although a bit convoluted, is smart and edgy. One of the few flicks that give vampires the nasty respect they deserve. Dorff is a terrific villain, creepy cool, it's sad his career stalled after this. Features some amazing martial arts and action sequences with outstanding practical effects for the technology of the time. The sequel excels as profoundly as the third disappoints. However, the original is one of Marvel's best flicks.

1.0 out of 5 starsBad Blu-Ray!!
By LWDRUMZ on July 8, 2012
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
I was very excited to get this movie on blu-ray since it is one of my favorite vampire movies and man was it a let down. I've had the dvd version of this movie for years and I sold that copy to get it on blu-ray and was in for quite a shock. The transfer looked worse than a dvd and the big kick in the face is that it isn't even in widescreen!!! WTF!! I have never bought a blu-ray where they took the original widescreen version and made it a pan and scan version. This is just unacceptable!!!! I guess that I will just have to go back and buy the dvd version. Stay away from this blu-ray release at all cost!!!

Overall Score: 4 out of 5 Stars

Blade has been a guilty pleasure of mine for a long time. Its not high art, it hasn't aged particularly well, and it stars Wesley Snipes who ranks just above Steven Seagal on the "I actually own movies starring this guy" embarrassment-meter. Nevertheless I'm a fan of comic book films, vampires, and R-rated action films and Blade delivers the goods and is a lot more fun than it deserves to be.

Wesley Snipes is Blade; a human-vampire hybrid that hunts his blood thirsty cousins with the aide of his hillbilly pseudo-father Whistler (Kris Kristofferson). Blade is feared by the vampire population but a particularly bloodthirsty vampire named Deacon Frost (Stephen Dorff) has an ambitious plan to destroy Blade and enslave the human race.

If you go into Blade expecting Interview with the Vampire you're going to be disappointed.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Marvel comic book movie that started the ball rolling for the modern action-packed comic book movies
By creators ID on December 11, 2013
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
the Marvel comic book movie that started the ball rolling for the modern action-packed comic book movies like the avengers and Thor and Spiderman we see today the best of the series of these three movies and the TV series this movie was a rocksolid struck by lightning action-packed fun and cool time were later movies in the series started to diverge more and more from the style and more towards the comic book this movie was an out right reimagining of the character and an update that made one of the best movies of its genre of the time that it came out fight scenes were one of the best choreographed fight scenes and almost any movie that I've ever seen the action is almost nonstop and pacing of the story has a good constant beat to it

4.0 out of 5 starsAction pack, different and gritty
By wow on January 6, 2015
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed this film. It was a sign for what Marvel had to come in the near future. Blade is a film that is not based on the original comic. It takes a different direction that made vampires different from the magical vampires. Vampires immune to crosses and holy water which means they are biological. I will not spoil anymore of the plot. I just recommend seeing it.
