Plot

It tells the story of Blade (Wesley Snipes), an urban warrior who is half man and half vampire and who intends to exterminate all vampires in existence to defend the human race and to avenge his mother, who was bitten by a vampire shortly before our hero was born. Blade's archenemy is Deacon Frost (Stephen Dorff), who, with the help of the computer, manages to translate the Book of Erebus and discover the formula to start the "Bloodbath": the day in which every man in the world becomes a vampire.

The most positive review

When this came out I thought it was the best vampire movie ever. Tons of action, fight scenes, and gore. I love how the vampires look when they die. One of my favorites!

The most negative review

Blade is tons of fun, particularly when viewed through the nostalgic lens of 90s action cinema. It's also worth noting that the success of this movie - an R rated vampire flick with an African American lead - gave birth to the comic book movie era. The action, effects, and music are silly and dated, plus the story makes no sense. But Blade is nevertheless still fun.
