Disgustingly underrated

Blade (1998) is definitely grossly underrated. It managed to be a success well before Marvel comic book movies became a viable box office staple & the series did so twice with a gritty ultra violent R rating. I wouldn't say Black Panther was trash though. It was a perfectly okay popcorn comic book film (helped significantly by an interesting antagonist) & honestly all modern MCU comic movies are overrated as all hell.

By critics yeah but not the general public.

It's rated appropriately, it did much better than Spawn.

When Black Panther came out it seemed popular to virtue signal a lot about it being the first black marvel superhero movie. Well Blade was the first 23 years ago.

Damn right!

I saw this movie a couple of times back in '98-'99. Haven't seen it since. I remember loving it, but today, for the life of me I can't remember anything from the movie at all except it stars Wesley Snipes, a vampire with a sword in present day. That's it. I think it's time I watched it again.

Agreed.
