Achieves just the right combination of lore and fetishized action movie.

Creative cinematography and non-stop, decently choreographed gratuitous violence make watching this comic-book movie entertaining. In fact, it's arguably the best comic-book movie of the year.
July 15, 2015
What is unusual about the film is the way it combines high-tech violence with the more up-close-and-personal violence of vampires. These characters and the aggressive way they attack each other justify all the film's considerable noise.

Allows Wesley Snipes to show off his athletic prowess, but the storytelling leaves quite a bit to be desired.

Wesley Snipes has the chops to play Blade, and turns the character in to a vampire hunting John Shaft.

Sad then to say that Blade is, at best, second-rate pulp, hampered by excessive length, a thematically meandering screenplay, and a general lack of excitement.

Has the comic-book movie reached the end of the line? The glumly familiar, been-there-done-that aspect of Blade certainly suggests so.

Boring vampire blood bath isn't for kids.

Blade is often ridiculous, mostly poorly written and, surprisingly poorly acted too.
July 15, 2015
Such techno-action may give Blade enough power for a sequel, but one is left wondering whether there's any room for its central character to sustain interest beyond this flashy debut.
July 15, 2015
For a while, anyway, this vampire picture flies.

Filter out the gloss, the gore and the insistent techno score, and all you're left with are the gleaming pecs and bulging biceps of Wesley Snipes as Buff the Vampire Slayer.
