oh hell yeah, The Thomas Jane Punisher was aces. That move was brutal. It showed his little kid get run over buy a big fukin truck...,in slow motion none the less. I was even able to tolerate the overwhelming shit of john travolta. I thought movie rocked.

I was much younger when i saw blade, like 13 and shit. At the time, i was astounded..,big ass mother fuking wesley snipes making vampires heads blow up, oh yeah, i was in heaven. I can still watch Blade today. It obviously doesn't have any where near the same impact it once did, but its still fun. That movie also, quite possibly saved Marvel. It deserves nods for that. Marvel was down and they said, ok we're going to make a R rated vampire movie where a big, pissed off black guy runs around making shit dead. That, to me seems like a ballsy gamble for a company that was bankrupt. It worked, people liked the full on gore, sarcastic humor and dry dialogue. I know my mind is stil blown from trying to figure out how it worked and why marvel isn't looking to do more R rated flicks.

Yeah, very true....and also...the soundtrack, AMIRITE?😮‍💨

Snipes in a club, sprinklers raining blood, slicing and dicing vamps to some kick ass trance😄

I keep mentioning this name...but I think Justin Hartley would make a perfect Matt Murdock

I also think he would make a good (Young Cap)

he played Green Arrow in Smallville and done an amazing job IMO.

He starred as Aquaman on the (2006) cancelled CW show "Aqua-Man". He did good too. The pilot was really good.

Blade was a lower risk gamble in a way, because he was virtually unknown. They didn't have legions of fans to please, so they could do what they liked. That it was a success paved the way for X-Men & the eventual Marvel movie machine, going strong since 2000.
