When Blade's mother was bitten by a vampire during pregnancy, she did not know that she gave her son a special gift while dying: All the good vampire attributes in combination with the best human skills. Blade grew up to be a vampire hunter to avenge his mother's death. The vampires, who managed to infiltrate nearly every major organisation, need Blade's very special blood to summon La Miagra, the blood god, in order to gain reign over the human cattle, as they call us.

Blade manages to combine martial arts action with John Woo-style gunplay, a good horror-vampire plot, funny-but-not-too-funny dark humour, and an awesome techno soundtrack. Wesley Snipes manages to combine great fighting with guns to create some highly entertaining action sequences. The direction has that cool music video feel to it and it works perfectly for this type of movie.

There's not much else to say about this movie. The plot is pretty good, the action scenes are GREAT then good, there's plenty of humour, the special effects are pretty good too, from the numerous vampire death sequences to some pretty interesting characters that I don't want to give away. This is just a plain FUN movie. One of the best of the genre, but not for those with a weak stomach.
