Critics Sentiment
Blade raids vampire rave club in opening massacre
Blade discovers his mother Vanessa Brooks is still alive with Frost
The film peaks with the acclaimed opening club massacre then gradually declines through the middle act's family drama before recovering for the action-heavy finale.
Blade starts explosively with its iconic club scene that reviewers universally praise, then maintains strong momentum through Blade and Whistler's vampire hunting adventures. The film stumbles somewhat in its middle sections when focusing on dramatic elements and family revelations, which reviewers found less compelling than the action. It recovers for a satisfying if effects-heavy finale that works despite some dated CGI.
