Blade 4K UHD (1998)

[dallywhitty]

Nothing spectacular, but it ain't bad. Think I prefer the standard art to the Steel. Kinda surprised WB aren't giving us a tat edition with blood bags and fangs and shit.

[Leonidas King]

Steelbook is nice, but I really dig the standard cover art.

[Mobe1969]

Great to see any of these early Marvel adaptations show up in 4k! That regular cover looks amazing.

lol at Stephen Dorff's name being on the cover

Tbf, all theatrical posters have Stephen's name on it.

Damn this is a pretty pricey steelbook! But I think it is cool looking and I've been waiting for Blade in 4k!

Regardless, I've already placed my pre-order. I absolutely loved this movie and even the entire trilogy. I hope we get the other 2 movies on 4k in steels too.

Question, if and when a price drops after you purchase this online, how do I get the difference refunded? Do I need to call in customer service or something?

I've had 3 or 4 drop in price this month I think by a few dollars each. Since they were all online I didn't know what to do to get the refund.

Those are the MSRP prices, but they'll go down eventually to the normal retail price.

Weird they decided to release this in December instead of October.

[DenOfEarth]

Very cool, the film that saved Marvel on film is coming to UHD 4K.

Hope Blade 2 comes out.

[bergman864]

I liked this back in the day. Might pick this up some day. I really hope Part 2 gets a UHD upgrade also.

Slip, steel, slip, steel... love both!

Lol oops

[Batman90]

So why is the first movie only getting a 4K release and not just do a Trilogy set?

[plissken99]

Then they can sell the first movie twice to the true fans. Studio SOP.

[skinjob69]

Love this movie. Remember getting the platinum series dvd at Suncoast video back in the day and marveling at all of the special features.

I hope they do all individually because I have zero interest for Trinity. I just want the first two. However if there comes a trilogy set I will then revisit the third just to see if its gotten any better. That one lacked so much in Wesley department.

I watched it again earlier this year, it hasn't gotten any better. Badly executed and lots of missed opportunities. I really do like Reynolds and Parker in it though.

Still, I would like to have it on UHD (along with II ofcourse).

I personally think that Ryan Reynolds and Parker Posey are a major part of what's wrong with the film

[Mobe1969]

I don't get the hate on Trinity. I watched all three recently and enjoyed them all.

At any rate after hearing about how culturally groundbreaking Black Panther was for comic book movies, I kept wondering why Blade was never mentioned. So many of the praises I heard applied 100% to Blade, 20 years earlier... And frankly I'd prefer a small time super hero than the questionable leader of an even more questionably closed society hoarding amazing technical advancements and wealth...
