After the meltdown that was Blade 3 and Wesley Snipes refusing to suit up anymore;New Line is officially out to milk the Blade Franchise with a weekly TV series based around Blade's adventures.Let me just say the deck is stacked pretty high against it succeeding.
Whatever New Lines Intentions were and what was broadcast tonight are two different things.A standard intro episode involving Blade(helping an Iraqi war vet named Krista get revenge on the vampires that killed her Bro.Randy Quaid pops up as a professor with knowledge on the Ocult.
The opener has good production values,pacing,and surprisingly excellent Special Effects.The director Peter O Fallon does a pretty good job.The Script is pretty standard stuff that has been done better on an average episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
For this to Succeed Kirk "sticky Fingaz" Jones has to get past the Ghost of Snipes;Which seems pretty much impossible.Jones has clearly buffed up for the role and done his homework.He is a little stiff,his delivery is so-so,and has none of the martial art prow-less that made the blade movies engaging.They also make Blade surprisingly weak.Which is understandable for TV.Jones just needs to find the role and make it his.
Jill Wagner is pretty good as the revenge-driven Krista.Very gorgeous also.The lead Vamps are so-so and do not seem that menacing.Blades Asian side-kick has little intro or back-story.They need to hire someone who can act to be Blades new sidekick.
But it is just the first episode and it needs time to develop.It does show some promise.Give it a chance.
6.5/10
