DVD Reviews of Blade The Series - The Complete Series
DVD Review: A Good Start, for a good series
Summary: 5 Stars
Blade the series rocks, true kirk jones is no wesley snipes but he portrays blade pretty good. i see this series can go for about 5 -6 seasons at the most. it's pretty good. Watch It on spike.DVD Review: A rocky start
Summary: 4 Stars
When I first started watching the two hour pilot, a friend came over about an hour in so I stopped it (DVR) while he was over. I wasn't impressed with that first hour and very nearly didn't start it again. I'm glad I did, the second hour still wasn't great but it piqued my interest and had some twists I didn't expect.
It was enough to get me to watch the 2nd episode, and then the 3rd ... and by about the 4th or 5th episode this show suddenly became the one show I was most looking forward to every week.
This was more due to Jill Wagner than Kirk Jones' Blade, and not just because she's hot (which she is). She really stole the show.
Unfortunately the slow start killed it and it never recovered.
1 star off for the shaky first few episodes.
DVD Review: Not bad (if you're a fan)
Summary: 3 Stars
The guy who plays Blade (Kirk Jones) doesn't do too bad a job. He looks the part, but definitely isn't Wesley Snipes. Snipes had the presence that really made the overacting just right, but this guy doesn't quite hit the mark. Jill Wagner is as annoying as all hell, but she's obviously there as eye candy. You could make a drinking game out the number of times they find an excuse to show her in a state of undress...
Still, it's good to see that they didn't try to make it kiddie friendly and that's it definitely intended for an adult audience. If they ever decide to kick off a second season, I would hit that as well.
DVD Review: Great Series
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this series and I hope they make another season, if they would it would be totally awesome.DVD Review: The only thing this show needed was...
Summary: 4 Stars
another season WITHOUT "Sticky fingaz" as Blade!
Marcus Van Sciver did it for me with his Lex Luther-like villain portrayal. He was slick, smart, conniving and cool.
I didn't mind the girl, Krista being turned either and I found it interesting that she fell in love with Marcus, while trying to help Blade.
Chase made a great femme fatale and I was looking forward to seeing more of her. The series was cancelled to soon, as if Spike TV has so much more to show besides old CSI reruns and Ultimate Fighter episodes. *rolls eyes*
What this show didn't need was a "hero" who was a jerk. he was unnecessarily mean to people who were his friends. In the movies, Blade loved Whistler, his confidant and partner. That should have been shown in the relationship between Blade and Shen and it wasn't.
Also, Even Wesley Snipes knew when to pull back and show compassion and smile/joke a little. He wasn't ANGRY all the damn time. In the TV show, Blade was always mad!!!! Geez, lighten up a bit dude.
I think if they had had a better Blade, the TV series would still be running.
Description of Blade The Series - The Complete Series
Studio: New Line Home Video Release Date: 02/12/2008 Run time: 583 minutes Rating: UrPicking up where the final theatrical feature (Blade: Trinity) left off, Blade: The Series made a valiant attempt to translate the Marvel Comics vampire hunter's adventures to the small screen; though the series was short-lived, the DVD features uncut versions of the episodes, as well as a smattering of extras. Rapper-turned-actor Kirk "Sticky Fingaz" Jones takes up the katana from Wesley Snipes as Blade, and he certainly fills the physical requirements for the role, which requires him to hunt down the well-bred bloodsuckers in the House of Chthon, whose leader, Marcus Van Sciver (Neil Jackson), is developing a serum that will cure vampires of their weaknesses (sunlight, garlic, sunlight). Aiding Blade in his campaign is former Army vet and vampire-in-training Krista (Jill Wagner), who lost a brother to the House of Chthon and her humanity to Van Sciver; in between bouts of swordplay and martial arts with the House's followers, we also delve into Blade's back story, which covers his early days as a vampire. All 13 episodes of Blade: The Series (including the two-part pilot, which was previously released on DVD as Blade: House of Chthon) are energetic and action-heavy (and hew closely to its comic origins--Blade villains like Damek and Marvel characters like Moon Knight are referenced), though the leaden dialogue is a frequent stumbling point; ultimately, the series' approach (which was more crime story than vampire action) didn't have the same appeal as the big-budget, effects-heavy features. Loyal fans, however, won't be disappointed by the decision to present the uncut versions of all but one ("Monsters") of the episodes in this set, which feature a great deal of gruesome violence and sexuality that was trimmed for the original network run. However, the extras, which include a seven-part behind-the-scenes featurette and commentary tracks for the pilot episode (one by director Peter O'Fallon and one by writer and executive producer David Goyer and Geoff Jones) were both included on the House of Chthon DVD release. --Paul Gaita
