I Loved the first Blade, but 2 was just OK and three stunk up the theater.
IMO if you want a solid female 'hero' movie look at Underworld and U:Evolution. Not typcial superhero fare but similar fantasy Genre and great movies.
The "violence against males funny/violence against females not funny" double standard in movies is simply a reflection of the real world. We live in a world where a woman cutting off or ripping off a male's sex organs is fodder for comedians, where men in prison being raped on an ongoing basis is considered "just punishment", and where female teachers raping 13 year old boys result in cry's for leniency and suspended sentances (as well as ADULTS telling the boy he should be GRATEFUL!). Turn ANY of those situation around and you'd have levels of outrage that would guarantee a media frenzy.
A lot of it is our own fault too, men sit and watch this crap and NEVER SAY A WORD. We stoically accept the ubiquitous groin kicks, the castration jokes, the constant portrayal in media of the abuse of men as if it's the way things are supposed to be. We're apparently supposed to be "tough enough to take it". It's a crock.
