Amazing that Blade (1998) came out just one year after Batman & Robin and Steel and one year before The Matrix

in 1997, Batman & Robin and Steel came out and were considered total jokes and many said they "killed off" comic book films. Yet just one year later we had Blade, which took itself seriously, was well made, and was a solid hit​​Blade also feels like a Matrix copycat at times, with its trench coats, sunglasses, superhuman kung fu, slow motion. Yet it actually predates the Matrix by a year​​Blade is a movie that honestly does not get enough credit via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2zbhsNM
