It's good, but missing something?

Rating: 8/10 (24 March 2002)

I loved the first Blade, and was excited to see Blade 2 when I heard they were going to make it (after I saw the first one years ago).

Blade 2 delivers, but on my way out of the cinema I could not rid my mind of emptiness. Maybe it's just the type of mood I was in. Don't get me wrong, I am a big action fan. But, lets stop for a moment and see where it's going. Much like Resident Evil (which is also out at the time of this review) The action and effects deliver, but it just feels empty. Perhaps I could have missed this void if I had watched Blade 1 a few days, maybe even hours before the viewing of the second film. So everything and the characters would be fresh in my mind. Guess I won't know now. I do know one thing however... Blade 2 still kicked some serious butt. Those looking for a good time will not be let down. Just don't expect much, plot/character development.
I think Ill give it and 8 out of 10.
