Blade




The first Blade movie was produced in 1998 and is an American vampire superhero action firm. The firm stars Wesley Snipes and Stephen Dorff, and they movie is loosely based on the Marvel Comics character Blade. The main character is Blade, a human-vampire hybrid who protects humans from vampires. There were two sequels made, Blade II and Blade: Trinity.
 
A pregnant woman is treated in the hospital after being bitten by a vampire, but the doctors mistake the wound for an animal bite. They try to revive her, but she dies after they deliver her baby boy. The boy inherits the superhuman strength, regenerative healing factor, blood lust, and enhanced senses of vampires, but does not suffer their weaknesses, such as garlic or sunlight. He grows up to be Blade, the vampire hunter.
Several years later, Blade locates a vampire rave club and kills most of the attendees, including the vampire Quinn, who he pins to a wall and burns. When police and fire crews arrive, Blade escapes and the police take Quinn's body to the morgue. As Dr. Karen Jenson carries out an autopsy with a co-worker, Quinn returns to life and attacks. Blade rescues Jenson from Quinn and flees to his base with Jenson while Quinn escapes. There, Blade and his mentor/weapons technician Abraham Whistler attempt to prevent Jenson from turning into a vampire.

Oddly enough, I have only seen the second and third movies but I loved both of them. I enjoyed Blade’s cold sense of humor and the overall thrill in the movies.
