Enjoyable Action Fare, shame about the plot...

Rating: 9/10 (8 April 2002)

OK, so the headline derides the plot, but that's not to say there isn't one, and just when you start liking one of the characters, they go and turn into a bad guy, hell, they always do that don't they...
I agree with one of the earlier reviews, there are 2 major combat scenes where they decided to do Blade using CGI, and they suck, in such a big way it leaves me speechless. these scenes should have been done in slo-mo matrix style and would have looked soooooooo much better.
hard to believe Luke Goss used to be one third of a dodgy 80s pop band, but his turn as Nomak is stunning, and is absolutely perfect for the role.
another surprise was Danny John Jules, while not in it for long, you couldn't possibly place him as the Cat in this one.
plot holes, and some unconvincing battle scenes in the Sewers aren't nearly enough to cripple this film, it was very enjoyable, and the setting in the crumbling eastern block was nicely Dark for the subject matter, and led to a darker more grisly feel than the first film.
overall, damn good saturday night fare ;-)
