Blade (1998)
In 1973, Marvel Comics, leading at the forward edge of the zeitgeist as usual, introduced “Blade,” the half–human, half–vampire slayer of vampires. A hip black hero for a change. In 1998 the role of “Blade” was assumed on film by super cool Wesley Snipes. In this first of the now three “Blade” movies, the plotline involves Blade vs. the vampire leader who created him by feeding on Blade’s pregnant mother. The evil megalomaniacal vamp wants vampires to “come out” as rulers over humanity, rather than remain hidden in the shadows. This is the film’s weakness. Other than Wesley Snipes killing vampires with his Kung Fu moves punctuated with silver throwing knives, while looking totally bad–ass in his black leather outfit, there’s nothing new in this story, it being a stale stew of other vampire movie plot devices and ideas. But just with a really cool black hero. OK, so you have to take progress as it comes, e.g., sometimes really slowly. What we do have here is precursor to a far superior film in Blade 2 directed by Guillermo Del Toro.
