Decent fun, but ultimately hollower than the first

Rating: 7/10 (21 July 2003)

"Blade II" definitely suffers from the sequel syndrome. It's not quite good enough to stand up on its own, and it's not bad enough to end the series. When the inevitable "Blade III" and/or "Blade IV/V/VI/etc." come out, this movie will probably get lost in the shuffle.
A bit too much CG, too few fight scenes (they got Donny, they shoulda used him!), and a slightly predictable plot (though there was foreshadowing, however) mar an otherwise decent horror/action flick.
