Blows the first "Blade" away

Rating: Null/10 (6 November 2003)

I love this movie. Every time it's on TV I catch it, it's a treat for the eyes, in my opinion. Reading some of the comments from other viewers, I agree that the story is a bit flimsy but it's the action and special effects that make this movie entertaining.
Wesley Snipes is in top form, as he was in the original "Blade," but he's a bit more polished than in the previous movie. This movie is less about his background and the conflicts with other "regular" vampires, than it is about his efforts to aid the vampires in destroying "their" enemies, which are not human.
Luke Goss is astoundingly creepy as Jared Nomak, who seems to have a problem with vampires and humans alike. *SPOILER AHEAD* - - the scene where Daywalker (Wesley Snipes) finally confronts Nomak is one of the best fight scenes in the movie, second only to the fight scene towards the beginning with Daywalker and the two vampires who come to ask for his help.
Kris Kristofferson is his usual crusty self, providing Snipes with a bit of conversation and being his guardian angel (okay, that's a bit ironic).
So it's not a movie to watch for compelling dialogue or moving, emotional scenes, but it grabs you and keeps you watching until the end. The action is practically non-stop and the makeup and special effects are awesome.
I give it 8 out of 10 stars!
