Their I said that the first successful Marvel movies to me are the best and they are underrated. The first two Blade movies were awesome especially Blade 2 with GDT at helm. I also think the first two Blade movies were better than the first X-Men movie.

I didn’t realize they were underrated. I thought they were pretty well liked by the comic book loving community.

I was never a huge fan of the first one, but I really like Blade 2.

The only probably I have with Blade 2 is the fighting and martial arts in some scenes. GDT got a little too ambitious of showcasing Blade strengths and agility that it looks like a cutscene from a video game when you watch it. The first Blade handled the fighting so much better.

Also, are you TRYING to get banned from this place permanently? Because a statement like this could actually make that happen, not to mention why you're trying to turn this into MCU-belittling thread, which I'm pretty sure that no one wants to happen (besides few of your cronies).

I don't use RT scores. the fact that they have that scores should expose further that there is a bias to mcu movies when you consider the impact of those films to mcu that has none.

The whole point of this is that both films have surprisingly low rating on RottenTomatoes, hence the quote "underrated". And how does this expose that there is a bias to MCU films? Do you not realize that someone could make an exact same argument like this, but aimed at X-Men or Spider-Man films? Finally, this is a blatant thread hijacking, and you're not even trying to hide it. And I don't think you've realized that behaviors like this will eventually come back to bite you.

The Blade films aren't under rated they are however forgotten or overlooked, this is in part because they aren't really cbm's in the sense that others are, I know a lot of people who didn't know Blade was a comic book character at first, probably still don't, so they don't get brought up as CBM's a lot, they kind of feel more like a Snipes action horror vehicle more than anything else, a good Snipes vehicle but a Snipes vehicle none the less.
The series also suffers from the shitty end of the trilogy, Snipes own behavioural issues taking the focus over the product and then also the meh TV continuation that died after one season, that and then the boom of CBM's that came out in the next 2-5 years also just overwhelmed these films.
Then theres the part where these films were successful but not overly so, $155m at their peak, also not hugely well received outside of the fandom that like these movies anyway, they didn't cross over into mainstream popularity like so many other CBM's have, which goes into them getting overlooked, whilst modern CBM's are in large part the heart beat of pop culture these days, dominating the movie industry and box office Blade however was just there.

I thought they were dumb when I was younger, but really enjoy them now. You have to look at them as comic book movies first, not vampire movies.

All true. they also came out at a time when there was a glut vampire stuff spawned by the popularity of Buffy. Some people may have assumed that Blade was just another derivative product.

They're both really good vampire/action movies with a very 'adult' feel. Really violent and intense by Marvel standards. I like the second one best but am a fan of both. X2: X-Men United is my favourite 2000s Marvel movie, but I agree that the Blade movies are superior to the original X-Men.

It was really bad, but it was based on a Marvel property. Blade was the first superhero movie based upon a Marvel property though.

The villain reminded me a bit of Spike in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Ignores tradition and plays by his own rules.

I prefer the first--the vampires in the second didn't seem like vampires at all.
Norrington was a pretty good director--I guess he screwed up with League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Hasn't made a movie since!

Not just first successful Marvel films...Blade was the first actual Marvel Actually, Howard the Duck (1986) was the first Marvel film. It was really bad, but it was based on a Marvel property. Howard the Duck was under the old banner Marvel Productions, which was used as an animation studio for New World..the majority of their work was non-Marvel animation series. Blade was the first film produced by Marvel as we know it now (perhaps should have been clearer in my initial post). In partnership with other studios as opposed to bought as a subsiduary so it's resources could be used by another. Marvel in the film business has gone under numerous names, but it was at this point they became truly involved in the production/creation of one of their own properties for the big screen. There was The Punisher, Captain America (straight to video in US) and Fantastic Four (never released) before that.
