Blade (1998)

The Taxdodger is the Daywalker. He kills vamps and strikes poses in dark shades; he doesn't actually need them, he just likes to look cool as he tears out throats with his bare hands. Most of the time he looks a chump.
If you scratch beneath the surface of Blade the plot, about a blood god that'll do something or other, I forget, it was dull, is terrible, really awful. If your expectations are adjusted well enough, however, it's entertaining for about 90 minutes; but the big showdown was a big letdown.

  1. I felt the same way about it. It's still the only one worth watching out of the 3.

  2. I really don't like this one.

    It's a 2 from me.

    I really like II for what it is though. 3½ maybe.

  5. Was 2 better than 1? I really don't remember.

  6. Number 2 was Del Toro. It had ninjas.
    I can't remember much else.
    I don't have it so can't wipe my Nuts on it.
