Finally watched today three weeks later was it worth the wait yes for me it has everything a marvel movie drama action romance. as I knew enough about the Etenals thru the comics as created by Jack kirby in the 1970s and to finally see them on the big played by the likes salma Hayek and angelina Jolie who I thought were under used could have done with more screen time but that didn't effect my enjoyment of the movie at all. Overall good start to the Eternals here's hoping for a sequel and more on kit Harringtons character I got a feeling I know where he's headed

Aquaman may have its flaws and it may not be on par with how Marvel have brought their characters to the big screen, but I have to say that this is one of those popcorn movies that I really enjoyed, forget the storyline of the movie, just get in there and enjoy the movie for what it is.

The effects of Aquaman look amazing, the underwater scenes look great on the IMAX screen and add to that the depth (no pun intended) of the 3D it all adds to the ride that you get with the movie and thankfully we don't get any of those purposely placed “look I’m poking in the face” 3D effects.

Blade is undeniably a product of it's time. It's the late 90s, everyone loves leather and shades, everyone loves Wesley Snipes, everyone loves dumb one liners, so the character of Blade is ripe for adaption.
But the importance of this gory action flick should absolutely not be understated. Not only was it the first proper big (ish) budget Marvel film, but it's pre dates Black Panther as the first superhero film with a black lead, and it pre dates The Punisher as the first R-rated Marvel blockbuster.
But in a pre X-Men world, comic book movies weren't a big deal at this point. I actually remember me and my friends sneakily renting and watching it (we were 10 at the time...) and none of them even knowing that Blade was even a comic book!

Here we are all these years later and the Blade trilogy is now remembered fondly (well, at least the first two are!)
Wesley Snipes is of course the star of this particular vehicle, and here, he is the most Wesley Snipes he's ever been. The cheesy one liners still come off well, and lend a nice comedic edge to the buckets of blood on display. The charm that he brings to the Blade character is the main reason why it's been hard to imagine anyone else in the role for so long (although I am here all day long for Mahershala Ali)
The other big character throughout the trilogy is Whistler, played by Kris Kristofferson, just generally being old, grumpy and badass, and is honestly the best character in the whole thing (here's hoping the MCU introduce a Whistler series on Disney+...)
Stephen Dorff plays Deacon Frost, the films villain, and he's really not much more than a generic superhero bad guy (the first of many).

The choreography and the fight scenes are pretty great, and the willingness to go hard R is what set Blade apart before comic book movies became a thing. It's sooooo bloody in parts, that it verges heavily into horror territory.
The CGI effects are utterly horrible by todays standards, but it's not used nearly enough to discredit the film too much.

Blade is a decent enough adaption of the cult Marvel series, and is a fun, gory blockbuster, but as mentioned, it's an important step in comic book cinema. Long live Blade!
