The Original Simply Set the Bar Too High

The second installment of the franchise was more complicated and dove deeply into the vampire history, tradition and lore.  There was an expanded cast and a love interest, and the movie did well.

Unfortunately, most true Marvel followers were disappointed in the fighting sequences, which is a major issue on a "Blade" movie.  The studio decided to rely much more on special effects and computer-generated images than on the artistic fighting display that Snipes put on in the original film.

The third installment featured some comic relief from Ryan Reynolds and the plot centered around the most deadly vampire of all"¦Dracula.  This third chapter in the saga was the most disappointing of the three, and led to the eventual demise of the franchise.  The fans of the Daywalker had all but given up hope for another project, until now.

Will the Daywalker rise again?
