Reviews for Blood: The Last Vampire
Is there a word that transcends abysmal? BLOOD is the lowest form of cinematic garbage that carries not a single shred of redeemable screen time.
07/07/09
Don’t let the subtitle of Blood: The Last Vampire alarm you. The finale of this tedious piece of Asian-ish action-schlock based on a popular anime series implies an intention to make more. One was plenty for me.
07/09/09
Top CriticDespite inserting a jumble of backstory into his live-action take on an action experiment from Japanese animation studio Production I.G, director Chris Nahon captures some of the visceral thrills of the nine-year-old anime.
07/16/09
Blood: The Last Vampire feels both derivative and strangely amateurish, an awkward blend of Hong Kong-style combat set pieces and clumsy English-language dialogue scenes that verge on laughable.
07/10/09
As good as any Hollywood movie, which is to say it's got lousy visual effects and generic dialogue. Since we're already forgiving that anyway, there's enough engaging action to make it plenty fun and entertaining.
07/15/09
This isn’t a great movie. But it’s sincere as an entertainment, it looks good, it’s atmospheric.
07/09/09
Top CriticSlashing swords, splashing blood, and flashy CGI - not to mention a hot chick in school uniform - sound like a cool combination, but the life bleeds out of Blood: The Last Vampire long before the final reel.
07/15/09
If anything watch it for the cool vamps and powerful performance from star [Gianna] Jun...
06/24/09
So laughably awful that it easily qualifies for so-bad-it's-good status.
07/20/09
Shows a new level of filmmaking incompetence previously only seen in the films of Dr. Uwe Boll. It is just plain awful
07/07/09
'The world is full of bloodsuckers,' notes the lead vampire's handler; the only believable line in the movie.
06/09/09
The action sequences are the prize attraction and even they leave something to be desired.
07/03/09
As the credits began to roll, I thought to myself, "I can't believe this was a theatrical release." Neither will you if you pay to see it.
07/08/09
If you're not familiar with this kind of live-action anime in general, Blood isn't a bad place to start, but for diehard fans it's a lot of been-there-done-that.
07/12/09
The best thing that one can say about this is that as utterly incoherent action extravaganzas go, it is at least an hour shorter than "Transformers 2."
07/09/09
Really, is there supposed to be any entertainment value in this thing, or is it meant to be a ponderously stupid endurance test?
07/29/09
Blood: The Last Vampire might be described as Kill Bill crossed with Buffy, only that would make it sound like more than the slapdash, thrill-less dud that it is.
07/09/09
Top CriticFeels like one of those Underworld sequels, but with a samurai-wielding Japanese schoolgirl instead of the tight leather outfits . . .
10/14/09
An stew of international genre influences that plays like a Vietnam-era cross between Blade and TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with elaborate martial arts sequences.
