Good but flawed

Rating: Null/10 (22 September 2015)

This film is certainly worth a look if you enjoyed the first Blade film as I did. There are new and nastier foes for our hero to contend with and he now has 2 sidekicks to help kit him out. Having teamed up with his erstwhile enemies to combat a new strain of vampires that feeds on normal vampires he has his work ct out as they are immune to garlic and silver. Luckily UV light still works but this is my biggest bugbear with this film. In Blade 1 he had a UV torch that he used to threaten and kill the obese librarian creature. Why not use this in this film. Just shine it around and it kills off all the bad guys. No this would be too simple. Despite knowing that bullets are useless they insist on carrying guns everywhere and trying to use them against these new vampires. Use the UV light torches guys. The only problem with that is the film would be done in half an hour. The other ridiculous thing is where the UV bomb goes off and the Nyssa character sees the light coming down the tunnel and dives under water to save herself. Surely light travels at the speed of light. Anyone who can spot it and dive underwater faster than the speed of light is someone to be reckoned with. I kind of lost faith in the film after that. Other than that the film was OK but too two dimensional. The first one was way better - no contest.
