Inverse

Blade has all of the darkness and gratuitous violence you would expect to see in a vampire superhero movie. Don’t expect much in the way of humor like Deadpool — Blade keeps a pretty serious tone most of the time.

The Hollywood Reporter

Based on characters from Marvel comic books, Blade may slash its way to a respectable opening weekend at the box office, but there’s nothing noteworthy about this cinematic killfest.

Blade is not only a significant part of the historical development of Marvel superhero films, but may be the first example of a black superhero lead on film.

IMDb

Blade is a relatively subdued, stylish, well-directed movie that actually tries to build empathy and pathos into the characters.
