Blade 1 & 2 were very good.

You are forgetting about "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka" that defined the entire trope of Black Action Hero.

But is Black Panther the first 'African' black superhero? I can't think of any others offhand. Shaka Zulu doesn't count.

And 3 had Parker Posey.

Damn, I didn't know that!  I never did see the sequels for whatever reason but now I may have to. :)

Blade is fantastic.  I just introduced my daughter to it a few weeks ago and really enjoyed watching it again.  Wesley Snipes is beyond cool in that role, and the cinematography is absolutely amazing.

+1. I have the DVD around here somewhere. I think it might be time to watch it again to see if I still feel the same about it.

Just got back from seeing it. I thought it was pretty good. RLM was correct, in some ways. The bad guy was interesting, but his motivations were not at all unique or fresh (typical revenge stuff, nothing new here).

I wish I hadn't seen the Ugandan Knuckles memes before seeing this, because...
