great but I preferred the original.

Rating: 7/10 (6 October 2005)

This is a great movie, and I really enjoyed it. To pick between this and the original is a tough decision, but I would have to side with the original. This is because despite the action sequences being fantastic the film lets itself down on 2 fronts for me.
1 - Despite being a good character, Nomak is not in the same league as Deacon Frost in the original. The fact that Blade is given only a weak reason to fight Nomak means that there is none of the chemistry or intensity to the battles that the original had.
2 - The introduction of the Blood Pack draws attention away from Blade. This is not good, we paid the admission fee so we could see Blade kicking some suckhead ass, not a bunch of vampires.
Despite this, the film is fantastic and only slightly worse than the original. it is still an essential purchase for any action fan.
