Wesley Snipes stars as the iconic half-vampire anti-hero, battling supernatural foes in this action-packed, genre-defining Marvel film.
Before millennial superhero films X-Men (2000) and Spider-Man (2002) reignited our love for superheroes on screen, Blade arrived to clean up Los Angelino nightlife.
Blending 90s goth energy with superhero genre in a unique way that we haven’t really seen since, and featuring an idiosyncratic performance by Wesley Snipes, Stephen Norrington's Blade is regarded as the first successful Marvel film adaptation, paving the way for future comic book movies before the rise of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Driven by vengeance after his mother's murder at the hands of a vampire, the half-human, half-vampire Blade becomes a ruthless vampire hunter, operating with moral ambiguity. His violent methods and his anti-establishment attitude place him firmly in the anti-hero category.
As a human-vampire hybrid, Blade means well – he’s become a fierce vampire hunter – but at the same time, he can’t say no to human blood.
