I didn't say it's nothing like it, I said it's irrelevant to the discussion at hand. I suppose there are some thematic similarities, though. Outcast loner fights evil beings with some odd allies, blah blah blah, that sort of thing.
In all honesty, I thought Blade 2 was a pretty fair action flick. There were bits I liked and bits I didn't. I was probably about 70/30 in favor of it. I'd have to watch it again, to really say more. I do have minor complaints with the Blade character in the flicks, as I feel he's not really evocative of the character in the comics. The Blade films are really Wesley Snipes and David Goyer's vision of Blade, which is just one reason why to me it doesn't pertain to the discussion. Del Toro himself called it a "six-pack" movie in Rue Morgue.
Hellboy, the film, is very evocative of the comics. It's probably about as close as you'll ever get to a real film version. Unless Del Toro does a sequel and pulls an X2.
