Ranking The Best Movie In Every Major Comic Book Franchise

20. Blade II

Batman Blade Wonder Woman
New Line Cinema

Blade is often pinpointed as the movie that revived interest in the superhero genre after Batman & Robin almost killed it completely, and while Stephen Norrington's super-stylish adaptation deserves its place in history, Guillermo Del Toro's sequel is still much better.

The filmmaker's love for body horror is on full display in the follow-up, expanding and deepening the vampire mythology while also giving Wesley Snipes a whole new breed of bad guys to slice and dice his way through in effortlessly cool fashion. Sure, some of the visual effects look horrendous when viewed through a modern lens, but Blade II was never designed to be high art.

As an aesthetic and action-orientated exercise it ticks all of the boxes, and even the movie's worst moments are ten times better than anything that happened in the dismal Blade: Trinity.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
