A rare treat

Rating: 10/10 (8 April 2002)

Movies like this one are rather rare. Sequels like this one, on the other hand, are nearly impossible to find. This is one of those sequels that makes the series just "that much better". I'm talking about T2, Aliens, Empire Strikes Back and maybe one or two others out there. I liked the first Blade. I knew I'd like the second one more (just from the praise it was getting). What I did not know was how MUCH more I'd like the second one. This was one of the best movies I'd seen in many moons. For me, I can say that in the past ten or eleven years only The Matrix (before the hype wore it thin) could stand toe to toe with Blade II for pure popcorn excitement.
