Where to Watch Blade
- Timeless Cinema28 augustus 2026A slick and highly stylized action thriller that’s solid from start to finish. It’s a film that truly takes you for a ride.
- Richard Thornton22 juli 2025Best opening action scene to any action movie. Whole movie is a banger through and through. Cool hero vs cool villain. Holds up.
- xXx_Raving_Rogue_xXx16 augustus 2026Still holds up after all these years. Music still on point. Great action. No need to look for easter eggs for other movies in its "universe". Just a great story.
- DK12 mei 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.
- BLOCKBUSTERRRR12 augustus 2026There's only been one Blade. There’s only ever gonna be one Blade
- Risk The Bard22 april 2025only blade can make woosh sound effects work as well as they do, I don't make the rules
- ርልዪረ17 februari 2025Blade came out in 1998 at the time comic book movies were going down the drain with the Batman movies, Spawn, and other properties not doing well with critics and audiences. Many did not realize Blade was a comic-book with no Marvel logo and Stan Lee's name appearing briefly at the opening credits. I would say that the films biggest strength is Wesley Snipes as Blade, he manages to be calm and reserve for the most part with some scenes showing more emotion when the film demands it. The rest of the cast which include Kris Kristofferson as Whistler, Stephen Dorff as Frost, and N'Bushe Wright ad Karen all do fine in their roles. I will say if your someone who lets say grew up with this film and your re-watching it, don't be surprised if the film hasn't aged with grace. That said i kinda liked the late 1990s style which gave the film its own identity, the only issue it at times the movie feels like a music video due to its use of fast forwarding and some editing. Stephen Norrington doesn't do a bad job as the director and its a shame that his career was ruined with that League of Extraordinary Gentlemen film, but he could of eased up on the odd directing choices i mentioned. Also some of the CGI is pretty bad by modern standards (but for the late 1990s it was passable). So in all i do enjoy Blade and in spite of its problems, it is my favorite of the trilogy mostly due to the last third. Not that the first 2/3 were bad, but the last third had some plot twists i didn't expect and some fun action scenes along with a death of a main character (granted its undone by the next film but it was still a good scene). So i recommend you give Blade a watch.
- tellum10 augustus 2026Way batter than it had any right to be considering at the time Blade was a C tier Marvel character, so you’d think very little effort would be put into this movie but quite the opposite happened. Between the actors overachieving (especially Stephen and Donal), very stylized film making, and fun choreography, this turns out to be an exemplary action and superhero movie.
- Alex Squires2 maart 2026This is a core dad movie. If your dad didn't show you this movie as a kid, you either weren't loved, or your father left to get milk. The one liners alone deserve 5 stars.
- Hughie Jeanveau9 augustus 2026Blade was so good for its time and still a good movie. A lot of action and some comedy. Love this movie.
