Blade


A film with vampires which does not focus on horror, which is nice.  You learn the background of Blade (the half human, half vampire being) and how the vampire world works.  It's not done in an extremely efficient or entertaining way but it was sufficient.  Blade is shown to be badass here, wiping the floor with the vampire enemies.  There were numerous fight scenes but it felt that their movements were stiff and could be much more fluid.  There were also some of your typical body explosions which felt awkward and not suited the theme of the movie.  The ending wasn't that great either with the revelation of the Bloodgod to be somewhat underwhelming.  The lead up to the climax was dragged on for far too long.  While not a boring movie overall, the length feels bloated and particularly in the early parts, there wasn't a sense of purpose or direction.
