  • Must Go!

    YESSSS! :D

    I honestly cannot explain how perfect this film is...
    To fully detail every key aspect would take much longer than the allowed space given here.

    It has an entirely solid story from beginning to end.
    There's a quick intro into the characters and gets right to the power/core of the vampire uprising. We truly get to understanding our hero, Blade, through his emotional past and connections of present.
    Also it's special in the fact that romance was NOT involved (like every other hero story) even with a leading female by our protagonist's side.

    As a whole it is very entertaining! Jam-packed with gore (blood everywhere!), action, drama, profanities, great music, and extreme situations.

    I rate it 13 outta 10! Extra 3 points specifically fer these reasons--->
    1+ for flawless antagonist/villain
    1+ for special effects/camerawork
    1+ for fight choreography
