Great fight scenes

Rating: 6/10 (28 October 2007)

BLADE II has our antihero uneasily joining forces with the vampire league to wipe out the Reapers, a group of degenerate vampires that prey on vampires. What Blade is actually doing is walking into a trap, but that's to be expected, and the climax of BLADE II plays out in similar fashion to BLADE. What sets this sequel apart from and possibly above BLADE are the fight sequences. They are spectacular, and the CGI used to make some of the more spectacular fight gags is less obtrusive this time round. Mr. Snipes as Blade is in fine form once again, and Kris Kristofferson is back as Blade's aide de camp. The delectable Lenor Varela provides the romantic interest as a fellow vampire, and Ron Perlman has a strong supporting role as one of several warrior vampires sent to aid Blade in his quest. Still, I would only recommend it to fans of the comic book or comic book fans in general. It will have no meaning nor make any sense to anyone else.
