2.5/4
"Blade has the capacity to dazzle, but it also will leave many viewers dissatisfied."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

3/4
"A thoroughly watchable action movie with several fright-inducing scenes, a good deal of black humor, and some notable underlying themes that never quite congeal."  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

6/10

3/4
"Ideal summer fare: quite enjoyable, and equally disposable."  TheMovieReport.com  Michael Dequina

3/4
"Exciting and occasionally very spooky."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

3/5
"A reasonably diverting videogame of a movie but not successful entertainment."  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves

C+
"This is a very violent and gory movie with some gross-out scenes, but the action is exciting. The characters, evidently based on comic book characters, are thin."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

B-

4/5
"great fun"  sbs.is  Stefan Birgir Stefansson
