Every R-Rated Marvel Movie Ranked From Worst To Best
3. Blade II
If the first Blade was good, the follow-up was genuinely great. Thank goodness that Stephen Norrington stepped away from the chance to make it to allow Guillermo Del Toro his spot, because Del Toro's genre experience made for a great marriage of dark humour, swaggering charisma and the perfect tone for the character. And adding in the director's famed imagination was inspired.
Del Toro injected Blade II with a knowing B-Movie edge, but mashed it with great action scene choreography (great enough to forgive some of the terrible CGI too, actually) and a villain who is genuinely quite good. Despite being Luke Goss from 80s pop sensation Bros.
Wesley Snipes is even better than he was in the first movie, thanks to the superior material and he seems to revel in the exploitation horror action flick, which is really quite infectious.
