i'd like to direct you to MIMIC, Del Toro's first english language film and it's utter drivel, i agree that out of his better known films Blade 2 is his weakest, yet still made big business at the box office and gor 4 to 5 star reviews. He declined the 3rd film due to Hellboy finally getting greenlit and David S Goyer was tapped to make his directorial debut. The reason the film is nowhere near the standards of the previous is because Goyer's ego got the better of him and fell out with Snipes hence the reason snipes does not appear in any of the special features. Apparently Big Wesley hated the direction Goyer was taking the story and that's why he looks like he's only there as he's contracted for the three. if another director had taken over and left Goyer's script the way it was originally written, minus abigail whistler and 'Drake' i believe the 3rd film would have been more successful...
