Blade was first released in 1998, directed by Stephen Norrington, and starring Wesley Snipes as a half human half vampire, who's mission is to slay all the bad vampires of the world. When I first saw this film I loved it, I was a big fan of the comic books, and watching a big screen adaptation was just well worth the wait. I thought snipes was a brilliant actor to play blade, having seen his early films i.e. passenger 57, and demolition man, this guy is a awesome martial arts expert and can kick ass. If I was to explain Blade to anyone who hasn't seen it, I would describe it as a more violent, intense and action packed Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

The third film in the Blade franchise is called Blade: Trinity, which sees the half-human, half-vampire battling the ultimate vampire, Dracula. David S Goyer is on directing duties on this film, as well as writing the script.

Advantages: Wesley Snipes, loads of blood and action Disadvantages: Not for the squeamish
I love films with Wesley Snipes and when this came out on DVD I just had to have it! Hubby is used to my penchant for vampire films and just did the right thing by keeping quiet and letting me have my way. I'm sure you all know me well enough by now - if it comes in the genre of horror then I will want to watch it!
So we bought this and it had been sitting for a while so we decided that we would watch it last night. Tonight it is one of the sequels (a review will follow!).
***Synopsis***
Blade (Snipes) is a man who is different from other mortals. He is half man, half vampire.
