Blade (1998) REACTION

Without Blade you don’t get no Spider-Man, X-Men, Ironman, Avengers or Black Panther. This was the first Marvel movie to be a success.

100% we would not have the marvel universe today without blade being so successful back then when this came out you would not have any of the marvel movies this basically saved marvel from being bankrupt if I remember right from the story this movie is a masterpiece for what it was at the time Glad you ladies enjoyed it it's a wild ride you definitely should watch part two blade two is even more of a wild ride❤

[@OfficialTMurdock]

This Movie Saved The Whole Comic Book Movie Genre In General, Marvel Was About To Go Bankrupt Because How Bad The Movies They Have Done In The 80's & Early 90's, This Movie Is Why We Have The MCU & Even Saved DC Comics Movies Also, DC & Warner Bros Was About To Go Bankrupt Also Because How Bad George Clooney Played Batman In Batman & Robin. There Was Plans From Somebody In Hollywood To Buy Out All Rights To Well Known Comic Books Like DC, Marvel & Dark Horse To End Them All & Stop Making Comic Book Movies, Blade Is The Reason Why Comic Book Movies Still Exist & We Have The MCU. Wesley Snipes Is The Godfather Of Comic Book Movies!!!

[@SG-js2qn]

Blade was made at basically the same time as The Matrix, which is a reason why the styles are similar, with the black trenchcoats, lots of guns, kung fu, and the one blonde chick in white. Blade is a trilogy, and the FX get better as we go. Other than the FX, I think the stories, etc., are of pretty much the same quality right through.

[@k.delpino1124]

The first real kick-a** vampire action thriller and Marvel's first-ever character with a box office smash. Jumping off Marvel's golden age on film (1998-2007) with the second Rated-R movie with a Marvel character and from it's supernatural/horror realm. Blade debuted 50 years ago in The Tomb of Dracula comics as one of Drac's many foes. Inspired by 1970s blaxploitation films (namely Shaft & Blacula). This trilogy of the character was written by David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight Trilogy, Man of Steel, BvS:Dawn of Justice). Prior to being casted as Blade, Wesley Snipes as actor & producer was involved with developing Black Panther. At the time, the film rights of BP were with Sony. Snipes didn't know Blade & Black Panther were both from Marvel. History made for sure. It paved the way for more success of Marvel characters on film. Nuff respect due to the success in the arrival of The Daywalker.

[@8967Logan]

If you two become vampires, you must move to Romania :). Now you have seen the true first black superhero (if you don't count Shaft). Black Panther is a poser. Blade came before him by 20 years and Wesley Snipes is an actual martial artist.

[@8967Logan]

@@justindenney-hall5875 which just proves my point that Black Panther being billed as the first black superhero was complete nonsense, and insults those that came before him.

[@8967Logan]

@@justindenney-hall5875 the overarching point is that Black Panther was not the first black superhero or are you forgetting I mentioned "Shaft" (1971) who predates "Abar", so you are wrong. You could also throw "Fat Albert's The Brown Hornet" in there if you wanted to (1979). BTW your movie is considered "blacksploitation", so maybe not the best example.

[@JohnHill-bn5kn]

True fact, Wesley had to slow down because his martial arts were too fast for the camera's to catch his moves.

The white skin of the vampires in the daylight scenes is the sunscreen they use. Check Blade II and Trinity, they are great too 😎

La Magra is an immensely powerful and ancient blood god, the patron deity of vampires, and an important figure in vampire lore as it is believed it created Drake, the first vampire. La Magra can only be summoned through a special ritual that requires the sacrifice of twelve purebloods and the blood of a Daywalker. After being summoned, La Magra used the body of Deacon Frost as its avatar until the latter was killed by Blade.

If you like vampires and werewolves. Check out the Underworld movies with Kate Beckinsale. Awsome movies

[@nicolasnesmith2926]

time to watch the sequel which is my personal favorite

[@patrickhuot001]

The reason the vampires evaporate is because they can’t stand silver. Which is why Blade’s sword and bullets are made of silver.

[@Cloud_Strife0811]

Blade's sword isn't made from silver, it's made from titanium. Frost even says this in the movie. Silver is a very brittle metal and would dull and break very fast if used like Blade does.

Since you said you like movies with vampires and werewolves, you should watch the Underworld series, starring Kate Beckinsale. (Critics didn't like it, but audiences did.) The films are Underworld (2003), its sequel Underworld: Evolution (2006), a prequel Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009), Underworld: Endless War (2011), Underworld: Awakening (2012), and Underworld: Blood Wars (2016).

[@ineptgamer3814]

This is an incredible film. The characters, choreography and music all create a beautiful world. Seeing this in the cinema as a kid was a fantastic experience. As you watch, all these questions come into your mind and thankfully all answers are sprinkled neatly into the plot exactly where they should be. Except for what Pearl was. Although they did introduce zombies in the form of Karen's ex and before throwing her in, Frost briefly explains what zombies actually are in this universe. An absolute masterpiece of a film...! Just remember that Blade's serum is red. The EDT explodey vampire stuff is blue... So when Frost holds it in his hands and mentions the serum, a lot of people believe that's what it is, the serum. But obviously it's not given Frost's explosive demise. Whistler was a great character and when he dies you can feel Blade's emotions even though he hides them extremely well. Kris Kristopherson put in a very strong performance here. Karen is a very powerful woman and being a Haematologist, perfect to find cures for blood disorders. I'm sure she created a super-charged serum for Blade after the end of the film. It's a real shame that she didn't return for the sequel. It would have been interesting to see how her character would have developed further. Having said all of that though, in my honest opinion, as much as I love this film, I do feel that Blade 2 was bigger & better in so many ways. Anyway, cool video, thanks...! 👍🏻

[@19nzinga]

I really loved this movie. Of the three, I rank this one number one, then part 2 second. The third one I thought didn’t have that thing to it like one and two.

[@JS-wp4gs]

I think you'd like blade 2 as well, though the third one is pretty questionable. As far as 2 goes, the new parasitic vampires in that one were created by the same guy who later expanded on that idea and created the strain novels and tv series, which is a pretty different take on vampires being parasites that spread via parasitic worms injected via a 6 foot long tongue-stinger kind of organ. It might be worth looking into watching on the channel as well

[@Cauin450]

Hotties, Blade is a Dhampir (Dam'pir), that is the result of a pregnancy between a vampire and a human. This union was usually between male vampires and female humans, with stories of female vampires mating with male humans being rare. Blade is also something else, a Day-Walker, the rarest of the rare of all the vampire strains. Though he still ages like a regular human he also gets stronger as he goes along. Should he drink human blood, it supercharges him! He exceeds even full vampiric strength, speed, agility and senses. In the comics, people have volunteered like the good Doctor to let Blade feed on them. Surprisingly, instead of this turning them into a vampire, it has on occasion cured them of vampirism, it also unites them with Blade's cause. It's like the vampiric enslavement but voluntary. I would love to see Blade fight Selene!

"The Matrix" ripped off 2 movies, they being "Blade" and "Dark City". Blade and Dark City were released by New Line Cinema in 1998. Warner Brothers owns New Line Cinema. They saw Blade and Dark City, and stole various elements from both films in order to create The Matrix. The Matrix was released in 1999. Here's the irony. The filmmakers behind The Matrix, The Wachowski Brothers (who are now sisters), got their story from Dark City. Due to the creator of Dark City having not done a sequel, the Wachowskis had no one to copy - hence the disastrous Matrix sequels. Later...after the Wachowskis began partying too much...Warner Brothers turned to Christopher Nolan...for the purpose of ripping off both Dark City and the Matrix, with an added plagiarism from the film "Dreamscape"...called "Inception". You will love Dark City. You should also watch the Wachowski produced "V for Vendetta"...and their directorial debut "Bound".

The power of an immortal. The soul of a human. The heart of a hero. Sworn to defend humanity, although not entirely human... Born with the cunning and superhuman power of a vampire, but able to stalk by day as well as night... Wesley Snipes stars in this action-packed thriller as the immortal vampire hunter Blade. Awakened to consciousness--and pain--before birth by the bite of the undead vampire that kills his mother, a young boy grows into a mythical warrior bearing a blood-curse: An almost insatiable desire for blood that he must fight every moment of every day. Blade uses his awesome power to battle the vampires led by his mortal enemy, the omnipotent vampire overlord Deacon Frost. The undead have infiltrated the corridors of power intent on conquering all mankind; now, against an army of immortals, one warrior must draw first blood.​
