Pure entertainment

Rating: 8/10 (4 April 2002)

This movie has virtually no plot, but it is so stylish it will make your eyes bleed. I'm sure many people will hate this, but they should all have known they would hate it before they walked into the theater. This is all you could expect from a Blade movie, and more. My only disappointment were a few cheese effects. That first fight with the bloodpack had to have been done on serious budget constraints. But most of the effects are perfect for the style of the film; and the action caught me up right from the start. And only the before mentioned effects really threw me out of the flow. Most of the rest had me drooling. The whole movie is made in the same cartoonish style on which it is based, and it works perfectly. Even better than X-Men. In conclusion: Blade II does not belong up there with Citizen kane and Schindlers list, but it is solid movie entertainment for a braindead Saturday night.
