To tell the truth I'm kind of shocked that the Blade film directed by Guillermo del Toro isn't the best of the trilogy. It terms of story and world it seems like it'd be right up his alley too but it's just lacking that personal, human touch he usually brings to his movies.
His direction here stops it from being a total wreck (and the practical effects are pretty great) but it introduces way too many new characters (who mostly fall flat for me) and the action scenes are bigger but less interesting than the first movie.
Also *MINOR SPOILER* but this may go down in history as being the single biggest waste of Donnie Yen ever in a movie - hit my man with the offscreen death, the absolute disrespect
