Viewing Notes

And ofc I saved the best for last #iykyk

It might be 20 years since I last saw this which is absolutely nuts. Hard to say but it’s been a long time. Snipes is so perfect for this character. Right person right time.

Movie isn’t perfect but it is a lot of fun. Certainly had no business being 2 hours and the story is overwrought. CGI is dodgy in most places but that’s to be expected. Not having Traci Lords be Deacon’s right hand woman was a mistake. THE MATRIX owes a little to this movie.

Now I need to watch Blade 2 so I can get to the Deadpool and Blade team up in 3.
