I quite enjoyed this film. It had an interesting perspective, that seemed to focus more on the antagonists side of the plot. In fact Blade's part in this film was incredibly clinical. If it just followed his exploits, the film probably would have been a third of the length. But it was good to have a fully idea of the inner workings of the villains.
A lot of enjoyable swordplay. Enough said.
They have an opportunistic stance on the transmission of vampirism, with it not being an inevitable things, but curable in some cases. As with most vampire films,the plot requires a lot of legends that someone is trying to make come to fruition, but for me there was not enough emphasis on the legend, and how it was meant to work. By the time it got to the climax of the film, the process at which things occurred wasn't explained, so it was confusing.
The computer generated effects haven't aged very well. But it is still an enjoyable watch. Lots of action, lots of fancy weaponry, and a straightforward plot (from Blades perspective) A few curveballs are thrown at you to keep your interest, with a big "WHAT?!" moment towards the end. A fun movie on all accounts. Definitely a must-watch for any vampire fans (proper vampires, not Twilight vampires).
