Simply put, good quality popcorn escapist fare, right here. A very insignificant character in the Marvel universe is transformed on the big-screen into a sword-welding, bad-ass with the fighting skillz that Batman only wishes he possessed. The fight scenes in this movie are a true stand-out for any kind of action movie. Yo, and the story & visuals supercede any comicbook that Blade was ever involved in. Now this is how all comicbook superhero film adaptations should be approached. (BTW, even tho on this particular list I have Blade ranked at #3 , as a vampire character, Blade definitely rates as #1.

When I first watched this movie, I couldn't understand why it had become so popular. I knew why I liked it, even without the prior knowledge from the comic book; action, violence, gallons of fake blood, cheesey graphics, and a stoic main hero, sort of what I envisioned most comic book adaptations and hero movies to involve! ;) Every time I watch this, I still cringe when seeing Dorff bite someone's neck then follow it up with a good tonguing with a fellow vamp female. At any rate, this became much of a realization for me that there were other people out there who liked this campy kind of stuff, that it wasn't odd to have a fascination with these types of film.
