Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

WakenPayne I love the three Blade movies. I decided that I might give this TV show a shot. First of all I have read some of the previous reviews comparing this show to Buffy, Angel and Supernatural. Try and do that, of course you're going to hate the series.One minor complaint that I do have is where are the other characters? Make Morbius have a guest appearance because the only thing close to another character from the comics appearing on the show was a mention of Moon Knight in the pilot ("my colleague Marc Spector's area of expertise"). If you're going to include new characters then that's completely fine, but I want other Marvel characters aside from Blade.Also Kirk Jones (Sticky Fingaz) does NOT have the screen presence of Wesley Snipes playing Blade. If you walk in expecting Snipes from Fingaz then please, don't even look at it. Fingaz does a decent job but he is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ON SNIPES.This show will be worth your time. The actors are good, as is the writing. The show is low-budget (even more so than something like Lost Girl) which is a reason why you shouldn't go comparing it to something like Buffy or Angel for that matter. If you know what to expect you'll like it. However, if you do like it then don't expect a closed plot line (I HATE how many cancelled TV shows I have watched end on an open plot line).

leeuniverse The show was actually good, especially the female star of the show. But the Blade character himself was absolutely terrible. He had no acting ability at all. All he did was look serious and had a fake serious voice. Terrible actor.Show would have been perfect had it not been for the Blade actor. All other actors were also good at their job.Also, it really irritates me that TV shows keep always being canceled, even good ones, and even though they do reasonably well. Just because they don't "win" some stupid ratings war, they think the show isn't good enough to keep. Further, they do stupid things like showing two good shows in the same time slot, and then they wonder why a show that might be good, doesn't get the ratings they want, if another show is slightly better. Then what's new of course, they both get canceled.... Fools. :(

wgeddings When this show was on Spike, I, like many Blade fans, did not care for it much at first. I followed it and slowly grew to enjoy it and I was very disappointed when it was canceled. However, I recently watched the series on DVD and, knowing how things were going to work out, it was like watching a whole different series. Wow, it was great! This show kept almost all of the movie Blade canon and added a few twists (such as dealers selling vampire ash like a drug). The ash dealers were a large part of the first few episodes but quickly that faded to almost non-existent so I wish they had never started that line of stories since it gave the series a bit of misdirection at the start. In truth, this series had an excellent overall arc and one episode really led to the next in developing both the characters and the stories. As stand-alone watch once a week episodes without an overall knowledge of the overall arc, it was more difficult to watch. In a sad way, the show was a victim of its own excellent writing and characters."Sticky" Jones was excellent as Blade. He was different from Wesley Snipes (who was different from the comics) but Jones's Blade was more in line with the comics and very well played. Jill Wagner is ultra-sexy and played Krista about perfect. I am amazed that she is now reduced to sideline commentary on a show like Wipeout since I believe she should really be a bigger star by now. The other players (like the characters Shen, Marcus and Chase) are much better when watched on DVD since they make a lot more sense. For example, originally I found Chase to be whiny and Marcus to be too much of a wimp to be the big vampire leader he was supposed to be. In later episodes, you learn more about Marcus (and see him kick some butt) and you see he is not a dopey wimp just trusting any ol' new vampire like Krista. He is seen in a new light and I liked his character much better.Overall, the series reminded me of a show you would more likely see on HBO, Showtime or the like where they really develop the characters and the audience expects to have to get to know the characters first. Imagine if the Sorpanos or Oz tried to be a broadcast network show. No one would have gotten to know the characters because the first couple of episodes do not exactly hook you. I really wish this series would be restarted on one of those other networks (or that Spike would give it another chance) because I could see some really great things coming from it.

beisserchen Wesley Snipes was cool as Blade. He didn't look out of place with all his gear. Sticky Fingaz is over cool, doesn't have much to say and looks/acts like a moron. Somehow, the Krista plot does not make sense. Marcus kills her brother, he knows Krista is his sister and a soldier, what else but revenge would she want from him, what else but trying to betray him ??? I haven't seen all of the series yet, so there is hope that there will be an answer to that. I like the Marcus character - he is well played by Neil Jackson. The "bad guys" are better portrayed and more "likeable" than the so-called good ones. Some of the special effects are quite good.Although the whole series is a bit ridiculous, it still is entertaining and exciting enough to watch it.
