Solid flashy fun.

Rating: Null/10 (19 March 2002)

Blade II succeeds as a sequel to the fun original Blade. It is chock full o' the same things that made the first a success. The weapons and gadgets are stylish and wicked. The fight sequences are exciting and don't rely too much on matrix-esque special effects. And of course, Wesley Snipes gets to lay down his fair share of pimps-up-hoes-down action one-liners. I'd say though that the most compelling aspect to the movie is Leonor Varela. She has a face that could change a man's religion. A beautiful counterweight to the extreme gore and gross anatomy of the movie's villains. Don't expect much personal enrichment from the movie, just lots of good kick arse fun.
