Fun to see

Rating: Null/10 (22 July 2006)

A -surprisingly, at least for me, given the fact that I'm not into fantasy or comic adaptations, and that I'm definitely prejudiced against sequels- enjoyable action and sci-fi movie that includes new generation vampires and vampires with mutations.
I haven't seen the original film, nor the third part, so I can't assess this film as a part of a trilogy. It just works alone, and I think that's a good achievement. If you're immune to the ick factor, or plain enjoy it (there's plenty of that in "Blade 2" -that autopsy sequence!) and to some actors' narrow range of facial and vocal expressions, and if you make a blind eye to painfully stereotyped characters and predictable turns of the plot (but aren't they supposed to exist in a film like this?), and you're a fan of action and fight scenes, you'll probably enjoy this. The video-clip looks get a bit old, but oh well. An entertaining film, all in all.
