Critics consensus

“Though some may find the plot a bit lacking, Blade 's action is fierce, plentiful, and appropriately stylish for a comic book adaptation.”

Blade is an entertainingly macabre and excitingly staged action horror, with a propulsive energy...

Not only is this an important movie for comic book films in general -- it's just a f---ing blast!

Blade's stomach-turning special effects, bone-crunching martial arts and cynical humor will more than satisfy any action-film addict's need for a fix of eye-popping escapist adrenaline.

The MCU owes Wesley Snipes (and horror) a huge thank you because this movie is the reason they got as far as they did. The erasure is wild because it is also one of the coolest superhero movies ever made.
