Guilliermo Del Toro might be a cult filmmaker now with the Pan’s Labirynth but apparently a while ago he was also doing pretty good flicks. Well for an action horror that is. Sure it’s typical, predictable and the action scenes are mostly special effects and not real fighting. But at the same time it has more atmosphere (especially the russian locations) and clever ideas. Like one of the first fights Blade had in front of a “light wall” that looked like a computer game. For a few parts like that it’s worth the watch. Sure it’s not scary and it has more humor than dark elements. But that’s beside the point here. Blade was never supposed to be scary.
The story is again simple – since hollywood writers wrote it (hehe) – a new, powerful enemy comes to light , a sort-of vampire with a very wide jaw that kills other vampires (well and humans too). So the vampire clans comes to Blade to just this one time unite agains the common enemy. Sure there are plot twists here and there but it’s pretty simple nonetheless. The action is there. That’s all it maters in that kind of movie. Too bad they spoil it all with a failed romance story. But the ending (the very ending) was hilarious
