Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason. Whilst Laya DeLeon Hayes is a Fabulous actor and the reason it gets four stars, there is nothing original here. Frankenstein meets Weird Science meets Tales From The Hood with a smidge of Totally Killer, with a happyish ending. It is entertaining, and very predictable. Has all the stereotypes without any real substance. There's no Blade creativity, no surprises. No twists that you cannot see coming. The critics gave this a lot more credit than it deserves for stereotypical reasons. Pop the popcorn, watch it and forget about it, much like the 1931 version.
