 Blade Movie Review
Adapted from a Marvel Comics series, Blade is set in a fictional world in which vampires have existed alongside man for thousands of years, making secret pacts with human power establishments which allow them to harvest discreetly and amass wealth and power with minimal harassment from or even notice by regular humans.
Blade - played by Wesley Snipes, using his considerable physical gifts in the action scenes, but otherwise wasted - is a sort of uneasy hybrid of vampire and human, the child of a woman killed in a vampire attack at the very end of her pregnancy.
Blade's primary adversary is Deacon Frost (Stephen Dorff) - a young-seeming Goth-look vampire given to hosting decadent blood-soaked raves for his party-minded companions, and scheming to seize control from the snobbish purebloods.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Blade, Vampire Hunter
Blade was first seen in the 10th issue (July, 1973) of Marvel's Tomb of Dracula, wearing a bandolier which, instead of bullets, held wooden stakes for pounding into the hearts of his foes.
It seems Blade's mother (whose name was never mentioned, nor was any name other than "Blade" given for the Vampire Hunter himself) was bitten by a vampire just as she gave birth to him.
In 1998, Blade hit the big time — a feature-length movie about him, with Wesley Snipes in the title role and Stephen Dorff as Deacon Frost, was released by New Line Cinema on August 18 of that year.

Until 1998, that is, and the release of the movie "Blade." That film re-imagined the Vampire Slayer as a quasi-vampire himself, a "Daywalker" with the powers of the undead but none of the weaknesses.
Marvel Comics released a flood of "Blade" comics after 1998 that - surprise, surprise - presented Blade as a "Daywalker." Gone was the Roundtree lookalike, as if he'd never been.
During Blade's hunt for Deacon Frost in the comics, he teamed with a vampire detective named Hannibal King who remained on the side of the angels by forswearing the consumption of human blood.

 CRITICA Blade Trinity - Comentarios y Criticas de la Pelicula - INFOCine :: .:INFOKEDADAS:. ::
La original película "Blade" me pareció una muy competente adaptación cinematográfica de un comic poco conocido, captando una gran parte del público con su carismático protagonista y alcanzando un frenético ritmo, con el mínimo necesario de caracterización para mantener un tenue enlace emocional entre el público y los personajes.
Sin embargo, esta vez en "Blade: Trinity" tenemos una genérica secuela que aporta muy poco y copia demasiado de sus antecesores, dando como resultado una dosis más de lo mismo...
Ante tal amenaza, Blade tiene que aceptar la ayuda de un grupo de jóvenes que se hacen llamar "Nightstalkers", y que también combaten a los vampiros.

The $33 million opening posted by Blade II was also the largest opening ever for star Wesley Snipes and it almost doubled the $17 million opening for the first Blade film, which went on to earn to over $70 million domestically during its theatrical run.
A third Blade film has already been greenlighted and the director of Blade II, Guillermo del Toro, should be back along with all the prominent cast members (see "Blade 3 Set Before Blade 2 Hits the Screen").
The success of Blade II is also another feather in Marvel's cap, and the publisher has provided retailers with several comic adaptations of the film (see "Blade Comics Explained") as well as with a new Blade comic series in its Max line, which is targeted at older readers.

 Origins of 'Blade': A Look at Dark Comics (1998) (V)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
It talks more about the comic code and how Stan Lee and others sometimes went outside the code, and how Blade as a Vampire was totally outside the code and he was a dark character.
We learn that David Goyer thought it would make a good film when he was 14 years old and buying comics because it wouldn't require much costuming and that Blade was cool, but thats really it.
I guess that covers the origins in comics and the origin for David Goyer the filmmaker and Blade, but aside from self pimping the movie its very stale and lacks the bite that a more in depth questioning session would have had.
