Blade

“'Blade' takes itself too seriously without providing any emotional thread to hang onto (...) Snipes acting chops and charm go untapped" 

"It slams ahead in pure visceral imagery (...) Snipes as Blade gives the movie that edge of emotion without which it would simply be special effects (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"'Blade' is meticulous and subtle, not just in its camera technique but in the way it works its themes and creates a mood" 

"Blade's stomach-turning special effects, bone-crunching martial arts and cynical humor will more than satisfy any action-film addict's need" 

"'Blade' is the sort of glittering trash pile that makes you dread the words comic-book movie." 

"Although the opening scene suggests a dark urban satire, 'Blade' quickly turns into a cartoonish futuristic action-adventure yarn" 

"Blade demonstrated that a Marvel movie could be more than just action. The fight sequences, action scenes, and high energy soundtrack all made for an addictive action movie, sure, but Blade has more depth than it could’ve gotten away with."
