Blade Ratings & Reviews
- HumptyFebruary 20, 2025Wesley Snipes
- N00DLESXSERVER1d agoWhy did nobody tell me THIS MOVIE IS SO GOOD! This was BEFORE the matrix, I’m quite sure the matrix got a lot of credit that should have been attributed to this movie. The first mcu movie?! Wow. Fully regret not watching this sooner. Classic vampire characters, which I appreciate so much. Effects that would be been amazing at the time and so enjoyable in 2026. Couple of comic style shots that just, ugh, so good. I had no idea this was so good. Instant top 5 fave movies.
- Kit LazerMarch 3, 2025There are a dozen or so movies I’ve probably seen 100 times. This is 1. I’m gonna find the others now. Stay tuned.
- flavo433d agoBlade burst onto the scene as one of Marvel’s earliest successful solo franchises, and it did so with style, attitude, and a world that felt instantly lived‑in. The film builds a rich vampire mythology—secret societies, ancient rituals, and a gritty underworld—that gives the story real texture. Wesley Snipes is electric in the lead role, delivering razor‑sharp fight choreography and a cool, commanding presence that defines the character. The action sequences are some of the film’s biggest strengths, blending martial arts, gunplay, and supernatural flair into something genuinely exciting. The supporting cast and lore help ground the film, making its universe feel expansive without over explaining. Where Blade stumbles is in its finale. The showdown with Deacon Frost, while conceptually strong, suffers from dated, cartoonish CGI that undercuts the tension. Still, the film’s energy, world‑building, and unforgettable lead performance make it a standout and a strong start to the trilogy.
- DcrBaneNovember 9, 2025Always a good movie
- Richard ThorntonJuly 22, 2025Best opening action scene to any action movie. Whole movie is a banger through and through. Cool hero vs cool villain. Holds up.
- DdoughnutOctober 20, 2025Well, as my first R rated movie, it was decent. The action sequences were awesome but the pacing was SUPER slow. Also, funny story, (I was watching this with my dad) when we had about 15-20 minutes left, my younger brother (8, turning 9 next month came into the room and my dad told him to leave the room because he didn't want to stay up until 3 am because of nightmares lol
- RandomSheepZASeptember 20, 20255he movie that started the MCU! While the graphics are cheesy by today's standards it's is a brilliant fast paced movie!
- DKMay 12, 2025The best and the only true Vampire movie that's not cringe and lame, Wesley Snipes was great in this. Loved it as a kid, and everytime I come back to it to watch it again I always enjoy it. Also has one of the best opening scenes of any movie, and for many of us was the gateway to the rave scene that we grew up with in 2000's.
- RolandMcdolanSeptember 15, 2025Only been one blade, only eva gonna be one blade
- Risk The BardApril 22, 2025only blade can make woosh sound effects work as well as they do, I don't make the rules
- anaj434September 15, 2025It was the perfect movie of its time. Definitely the reason why Marvel was able to succeed.
- pdoyle60August 11, 2025Great, pre-MCU Mavel movie!!
- bogometerMay 22, 2025Wesley Snipes in his prime. If I could only watch one vampire movie this would be it. Worth five stars just for the bloodbath scene alone.
- ZokkiieJune 8, 2025Just a stylish, action-packed vampire flick with Wesley Snipes delivering a seriously cool performance. The fight scenes are intense, the blood rave intro is iconic, and the whole film has a unique '90s edge. The story’s a bit basic and some effects haven’t aged great, but it’s still a fun, badass ride that helped shape modern superhero movies. Definitely worth a watch.
