robinblokeYes, you heard me, the action packed, gore-fest and vamp punchup movie is quite simply, art. Art? Well more specifically comic art, the translation of comic style; although possibly not true to the blade comic, but more the entire style of comics themselves.
What am I jibbering on about? The costumes, the style, the lines, the art, the fights, ignore them all, don't even consider the plot (minimal) the acting or anything, ignore the whole thread of the film and then imagine instead you are watching a free flowing snapshot of a film that has moments for each cell of the comic it imitates and depicts, in true comic fashion, all those most important emotional moments and by hell, it'll get there somehow even if it doesn't really mean anything in between.
So, did I like the film? Yes! Not for the fights or anything like that but because quite simply, I was watching the truest real-action comic style film I'd ever seen. Quality.
Mind you I might have been a little tiny bit out of it at the time.
