Title: Blade Bites
Review: After watching the movie Blade, I've got to say that it, well, it bites. (Sorry, couldn't resist.) Wesley Snipes is buffed up, but with no place to go. I can't imagine a more one dimensional performance than the one he mailed in on this movie. Come to mention it, just about the entire cast seemed to sleepwalk their way through this. Stephen Dorff was the notable exception, with a solid and sinister performance. In defense of the movie, there are some very stylish camera work, such as the "bloody disco" scenes. Soundtrack pretty much rocks, and a nice use of Kung-Fu fight coreography and Japanese manga images help out. But still not enough to really recommend this movie as anything other than 2 hours worth of mind numbing fluff. Hey, I like sci-fi as much as the next person, probably a lot more than the next person, but this movie comes across as toothless.
