Excellent action flick

Rating: Null/10 (24 March 2002)

The best action flick I've seen in months. Snipes is back as the vampire killing half-vampire superhero, and is more likeable in the sequel as he has mellowed a bit over the couple years he has been on his own. They brought Kristofferson back in a reasonable way, which is good because he was the best character from the first movie.
The plot is serviceable. It's predictable but there are some subtleties, like: when there are 3 factions alliances keep shifting and no one trusts anyone. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
The action is fantastic. Good pacing too, not overwhelming. The combat sequences have the frenetic and floating look that is taking over Hollywood since Crouching Tiger.
The film is very violent and gory though. If you like vampire movies, and you liked Blade, you will love this movie. If neither is true, you probably won't like Blade 2... but you still might. The sequel is better than the original in some ways.
