Blade is the best comicbook movie ever made

You are very generous with your scores, then.
Its a movie. YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE TO BE FAMILIAR WITH THE SOURCE MATERIAL.
If it doesn't stand on its own, its not good.
That said, I can see the attraction to the movie by its fans. I understand. It was a comic book movie that fell under the category of a drama/thriller rather than an action film. From that perspective, I see your point.
HOWEVER
Blade was a success in all aspects of being a comic ACTION film.
Whilst David Goyer may have written all three Blade movies, he thankfully only directed one. The terrible Blade Trinity.
Steve Norrington and Guillermo Del Toro did excellent work directing Blade's 1 & 2 respectively only to have David Goyer destroy the Blade legacy with that bullshit excuse for a movie he unleashed on Blade fans at the end.
The shit was watered down crap that had Blade relegated to the background just to showcase two new characters who brought nothing new to the franchise other than cheesy one-liners and related bullshit.
David Goyer can go fuck himself for ruining what could have been an incredible trilogy of movies.
I think there was an alterior motive behind all that. Like I said, Whitey sure as hell don't want to make any heroes for any other race. Add to that Goyer trying to make it more "mainstream"(read: white) to further the franchise and Snipes being a real difficult person to work with in general and you have the perfect formula for a very imperfect film.
Anyone notice Number 3 is usually when a Marvel Movie goes to shit?!
1. Blade Trinity
2. X3 The Last Stand
3. Spiderman 3
1. Blade Trinity
2. X3 The Last Stand
3. Spiderman 3
I'm gonna steal GhostRed's line..."such a movie does not exist".
"Superman IV"???? Are you serious? For any moviegoer and fan of the first two Superman movies, acknowledgement of that (rumored) fourth movie carries the penalty of death.

@ that movie looking like its budget was 200 dollars LOLNuclear Man: "Where is the WOMAN??"
All you're really saying is you weren't into the source material of The Watchmen all that much (which the movie stayed VERY true to, and brought to life marvelously). Blade, the movie, is actually alot better than the comic. Blade also isn't nearly as deep, so I can get the argument of being able to see Blade more often.
I made it a point to read the watch men comics before I went to the movie. If I hadn't I might have been disappointed with the regular people being heroes no one has powers except Manhattan thing. Instead, I understood the story of the comic, and accepted it for what it was first. The watchmen was never going to be my favorite comic book, but I did end up really enjoying the story. So, seeing it brought to life on screen in the way it was made it an excellent movie for me. If you didn't like the watchmen movie then you didn't like the comic book, and vice versa.
But, if you liked Blade as a comic there is a chance that you may feel like the only 2 Blade movies ever made were an improvement on the story.

I heard Wesley attempted to sued that cat and the studio that made that abomination(won't say the name cuz it doesn't exist
) because he gave Jessica Biel and that other dude more screentime. I heard Wesley requested to have more screentime and have it just be him solo for most of the movie and fighting dracula. David Goyers and the studio that made that shit had the audacity to blame Wesley for it failing. Wesley actually didn't want the sidekicks and he was right because they fucked up the movie. When that chick put on the headphones to listen to triphop bullshit while fighting vampires
, I walked out of the fuckin theatre to eat some food with the Misses.
I remember when that bullshit came out and commercials hit and I was like "Where's Wesley at?" Then he didn't show up for the premiere. I knew it was some bullshit then. Made up my mind not to see that shit then. When that shit be on tv I flip the channel. Fuck that shit. I didn't watch that SPIKE bullshit wit that lazy eye rapper either.I heard Wesley attempted to sued that cat and the studio that made that abomination(won't say the name cuz it doesn't exist

David Goyer and the film studio totally slandered Wesley Snipes and tried to portray him as this "big bad scary black dude with an attitude" just to cover up the fact that they'd produced a watered down, over commercialized pile of dogshit that had more product placement than actual story.
They royally fucked Wesley Snipes over on Blade and further destroyed the legacy with that bullshit Spike series featuring Sticky Fingazz of Onyx infamy as some bargain basement Blade who got his ass handed to him by the Vampire Nation on a regular basis.
Nah, man. It was personal to Goyer. Ryan Reynolds and David S. Goyer are friends. Ryan and David would sometimes write Ryan's lines TOGETHER (I don't know if these two are undercover fags or what). David didn't get along with Wesley by the time "the movie that shall remain unspoken" was being shot. Wesley felt that the studio and Goyer were trying to undermine him (and they were), so he was being a bit difficult with them. David was also writing Batman at the time. There was talk of him being able to direct it as well back then but he didn't have the experience so the studio let him direct "that other movie" and it was a disaster.
Being the director of the film you wrote is like editing your own book. It was a mistake on the studio's part but they were so caught up in the Batman frenzy they didn't care.
They deliberately destroyed the Blade series. Goyer wanted to help his buddy out by giving him more screen time plus he was focused more on Batman. They used "that movie" for their own personal Hollywood shit. Anybody who was on the Blade boards back in the day before they shut them down will attest to this. Goyer posted there. Even Wesley posted a couple of times. All of the studio insiders posted there, too. People saw this shit going south long before it hit the fan.
I completely agree, but I think because of how linear the character was written, Michael Jai White could have played him as well. If you think about it, it was more of Wesleys vibe that brought the role to life because the dialog were a bunch of grunting 1-liners. THEN after seeing that cockeyed sticky fingaz do what he did for the series I really can appreciate what Wesley brought, but still think MJW could have done something as well...
I totally agree as I said, the action in Blade II was way better and made it seem like Blade was actually super human regardless of him drinking blood or not (i.e. that scene in his base with the 2 vampire ninjas, or the opening scene with him running through the building and leaping off).
However the overall plot/story was better in Blade I...

Just to add insult to injury.
I think Watchmen is the Greatest Comic Book movie ever made
This shit was GAY.
Fixed that for you.
Dude, when fools including myself are hollerin throughout the movie, "PUT SOME MUTHAFUCKIN PANTS ON" then you know the shit is Faggotry.
Now I did like the Rorschach character. That hot grease scene was classic.

Sounds like a wack immature crowd more than anything else.
I saw the film twice in the theater and no one said anything like that.
But those were exactly like in the graphic novels. So, as I edited in your post, you just didn't really like the graphic novels. That's no fault of the film, just the source material you weren't feeling. Nothing wrong with that.
Best comic book movie. Period.
What would be dope is if they made the DC/Vertigo "Sandman" with Johnny Depp. That shit would be off the hook. A director/producer team of Burton/Goyer would be great for this. No chance on purposely fucking it up because a black dude is getting his shine...know what I mean?
I'll say its one of the best comic book movies ever made, but I agree the first was the best of the series period. Guillermo Del Toro gave the 2nd one a stronger visual style which made up for the weaker story. The third one, while entertaining, was a major letdown.

Great synopsis...I couldn't have said it better!
yea blade was pretty good.
Co-sign on Watchmen comment.
What it boils down too is the average moviegoer nowadays are dumb asses who want wall-to-wall action every 5 minutes. If it looks like some comic book based movie these simps expect non-stop action. Why? The comic book movie genre has been ruined by hack directors and producers. Motherfuckas downplay the storytelling of the comics and replace it with bullshit action sequences to satisfy A.D.D. teens and idiots instead of making strong plotlines. Watchmen was the truth. It wasn't meant for everyone because it requires some thinking and analyzing afterwards. People go to movies and miss out on "the message" some of these films carry. Then again, I'm preaching to motherfuckas who made Crank 2: High Voltage a box office success.
Truth is the comic book movies has gotten infinitely better in the last 10 years.
Since Blade we've had some really solid movies based on comics.
Blade is the best comic book movie ever straight raw, i liked dark night but ny problem was the the batman voice it sounded forced
