a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

For the best in action and horror, you probably can't go wrong with 'Blade 2'. The action is relentless and non-stop from beginning to end. The film features incredible photography from interesting angles and the visual effects are incredible, to say the least. Wesley Snipes is once again in top form. The creature effects are cringe-worthy - it is just so well done! Being Guillermo del Toro, though, I suppose great visuals were inevitable. The man is a so visionary!I did detest the Hollywood annoying fight to the death first encounter and then working together cliche. They justified it with the silly line "You people shot first." Seriously!!?? This dreadful scene aside (although the imagery during the scene was incredible!), the film was simply spectacular on an action and horror level.

Nowadays, we live in the golden age of superhero movies where great films of the kind are always around the corner. This film was made at a time that now seems like ancient history when it comes to superhero movies. I didn't like how I wasn't familiar with any of the characters. I went through the Marvel Encyclopedia and don't remember seeing any of these guys. It works much better as just a standard action movie. It's often fight scene after fight scene with vampires being killed over and over.There is still much better creativity in this movie than most of the Transformers films. They do at least manage to expand on the vampire mythology. I knew that was the guy who played Daryl from "The Walking Dead"! I personally didn't care for the original Blade movie. I felt this was better as I was more accustomed to the setting and it didn't feel like they were just repeating stuff. Dozens of better superhero movies exist now, but as an early film, this wasn't half bad. I admit some of the effects don't hold up that well. ***

Blade II (2002) is the vampire superhero action horror sequel film to the original film Blade (1998). We have a kick ass sequel to an R rated kick ass first movie you go the mix of Daryl Dixon who still looks the same and a ball headed Hellboy Excellent!!! Blade II is an awesome movie!!!! Not only does it takes 4.years for this movie to come out since the last movie, but we see Wesley Snipes returning as Blade and he Is awesome!! I love this film but I love the first one way more. It is my second favorite in the Blade trilogy series. So in this movie Blade is on a search for a Whistler, who is now a vampire in this movie. He tracks him down, he finds him, than he meets up with this group of vampires called the Bloodpack. They need his help to track down Nomak (Luke Goss. and he has basically an ability to turn vampires in to Repears that can hunt both vampires and humans. So, yea...That's your basic plot. There are a lot of twist from here and now, but it is AWESOME! Because Wesley Snipes knows all those martial arts, they are nice to look at, and since it is 2002 we now got in to the phase, where the fights scenes are awesome and the choreographer says something once heavy handed, you will see bloody violence right away when the character turns in to an CGI model and it is shown trough whole movie, you can really see that, specially old dude drops kicks, kicks Blade right in the face and goes in to an CGI character, you can kind a see that, kind a weak, but does it track down from the movie? Hell to the no! This movie is awesome!!!!! The beginning of the movie, in the first 10 minutes, Blade already kills like 25 people. That's how it is done, just like in the first movie! He killed like 50 or 60 people from the very beginning of the movie it is AWESOME!!! Whistler (Kris Kristofferson) is a bad ass! He is amazing bad ass! Norman Reedus like I said before still looks 12.year old boy, he is still Daryl Dixon, he still has the same hair style, the same look stubborn on his face and he looks like damn, don't you age boy. And you voice is going now heavy now todays world, but don't you age. Ron Perlman is awesome, he loves to make you hate him, but you can't hate him because he is Ron Perlman, you just laugh at him, because he is such a bad ass and he is such a an awesome, he is so awesome! Where is Hellboy III. Even in Alien: Resurrection (1997) Ron Perlman was standout in that film, come on, the man is just AMAZING! The effects in this movie is pretty good too, besides the fight scenes when they turn the CGI character however, but that's okay I can kind a forget about it because Spider-Man (2002) come out the same year, of course they also did do the same thing, yea, I guess you have to live, with that back than, I'm pretty sure they can do better now this days. Choreograph and everything, Guillermo del Toro takes over, this movie has director, David S. Goyer returns as the writer in this movie. David S. Goyer is a good writer, I have to give him that, he is an awesome writer! How do you make Blade even a more bad ass, than he already was? I think that was possible, it is possible. This movie it is possible and it is awesome! Wesley Snipes has that charm back again, he has that to be a bad ass, but it has that humor aside Blade II, like in the strip club or whatever they were at. Ron Perlman really was about to shoot Blade and Blade had him track down at his gun and he sit like smiling, Wesley Snipes your gold boy your Gold!!! Without the doubt, the acting in this movie is awesome, Effects are awesome, Action is awesome, story is awesome, Cinematography it is kinda even a bad ass, you actually feel bad for one of the characters, tough she was cute, I am just saying. In the end of the day Blade II is one of the best sequel ever, you have to watch this movie!!!!! Guillermo Del Toro is endlessly imaginative when it comes to creating new style, action, and ideas for the vampire mythology. Now the plot doesn't have much character development, but it has just enough interesting twists to keep you interested as well as entertained. And like I said, if you are looking for a movie with brains, this movie should meet your criteria, but if you appreciate brawn, this will blow you away. The sword-wielding warrior Blade (Wesley Snipes - "Demolition Man," "White Men Can't Jump") returns to fight the Reapers, a new race of super vampires hell-bent on annihilating all other vampires before destroying the entire human race. Blade aligns himself with a high-powered team of vampires to defeat an evil greater than either has ever battled.9/10 my second favorite in the Blade trilogy my number one will always be Blade the first one.

This film is certainly worth a look if you enjoyed the first Blade film as I did. There are new and nastier foes for our hero to contend with and he now has 2 sidekicks to help kit him out. Having teamed up with his erstwhile enemies to combat a new strain of vampires that feeds on normal vampires he has his work ct out as they are immune to garlic and silver. Luckily UV light still works but this is my biggest bugbear with this film. In Blade 1 he had a UV torch that he used to threaten and kill the obese librarian creature. Why not use this in this film. Just shine it around and it kills off all the bad guys. No this would be too simple. Despite knowing that bullets are useless they insist on carrying guns everywhere and trying to use them against these new vampires. Use the UV light torches guys. The only problem with that is the film would be done in half an hour. The other ridiculous thing is where the UV bomb goes off and the Nyssa character sees the light coming down the tunnel and dives under water to save herself. Surely light travels at the speed of light. Anyone who can spot it and dive underwater faster than the speed of light is someone to be reckoned with. I kind of lost faith in the film after that. Other than that the film was OK but too two dimensional. The first one was way better - no contest.
