It was OK.. November 27, 2009
J. Chacon (Miami, FL United States)
Honestly, I was expecting a bit more, given that Sony Pictures was behind this movie. The story and actors were alright, but the film as a whole could have used better production values. Basically, it just suffered from sub-par special effects. I just expected more from Sony, given that they've invested quite a bit in the Blood franchise. If you don't expect too much from it, I suppose you won't be too disappointed.
 Great Special Effects November 27, 2009

Liked this movie. A lot of action. maybe a little gorey for some
Deleted Scenes? November 27, 2009
Ayame (Denver, CO)
I liked how they included some scenes from the Blood: The Last Vampire anime in this movie.
The action scenes were pretty good. Lots of wire work. It looks like Gianna did most of her own stunts.
The story seemed like it was missing a few scenes. In the making of featurettes we see pieces of a scene with Saya fighting in a meat locker and another with her fighting two afro vampires. These scenes are not in the main movie. Unfortunately there are no deleted scenes on the extras menu, unless they're hidden as an easter egg that I was not able to find.
Unresolved plot threads and missing scenes aside, this was an OK movie. Watch it mostly for the action scenes.
It is what it is - which is pretty good! November 9, 2009

There seem to be two camps here - people that love the original anime and wanted a live action remake, and people new to the story who like the film for what it is. I've seen, but not loved, the original anime, and just discovered the film.
The movie is not the anime, but it is quite good in its own right. The action scenes are spectacular and the look of the film is moody and gorgeous with several beautiful images; seriously, you could pause the video at random and do a screen capture, and over 50% of the time you'd have a nice-looking wallpaper for your PC or decent poster. The action-packed battles are so good, they overcome the effects, which simply aren't up to portraying the demons in "true form" convincingly. Major props to the lead, who is charismatic, athletic, and battles with a casual, experienced flair that makes you feel her character really has been using a sword for hundreds of years.
The film has its off-notes: Alice's character is poorly written or heavily edited, so that much of what she says seems stupid or out of context. As in "The Legend of Chun-Li," Asia is crawling with Americans running things, instead of, you know, Asians, and not just on the military base. And the writer(s) would have done well to lead with the information in the cliched "big reveal." George Lucas and Mark Hamill have ruined such revelation scenes for at least a couple of generations.
But overall, if you're any sort of action movie/martial arts fan, your overwhelming reaction to this film will be a Keanu Reeves-like "whoa." I don't get the Japanese fascinations with school-girl outfits and swords, but this film makes them work.
 MORE ACTION AND EXCITEMENT than the animated movie!!! November 7, 2009

For fans of the manga or anime versions this movie could make them a little dissapointed because Saya is not THAT quiet and tough looking. Besides, there are a few vampire monsters and more zombies and ninjas. I guess that makes the fans very angry.
BUT I DON'T CARE!!! ALL I CARE IS ABOUT THE ACTION! In this movie, Saya is a ONE-GIRL ARMY slashing lots of vampire-zombies and ninjas, the fight choreography is AWESOME! you'll see the "fast/slow motion" camera each time Saya kills an enemy, the cinematography is BEAUTIFUL as Crouching Tigger Hidden Dragon, the one to one fights were COOL, and the acting was okay.
I think that this is one of the few cool live-action animes ever! I mean... this one is good as Crying Freeman, Guyver 2 and Kill Bill vol. 1 because the action is more important than the concept but without trying to ruin it. No movie can be so specific as the series or comics but as long as the concept is still there then there is an opportunity to make the film very entertaining.
Adios.
