Even better than the first one!

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2002)

A Full-blooded gore galore 2-hour roller-coaster ride! That's all I gotta say about this film and I'm going to stick to it.
Easily a 9/10 points film, only 2 complaints:
*WARNING, POSSIBLE SPOILERS*
1) The Uber-vampires are once again harder than anything when introduced: one can take on dozens of "normal" vampires, but later on they 'grow weak" (In the sewers 2 NORMAL vampires are capable of taking on hordes and hordes of ubers! And Blade himself takes them on with just one hand standing on a small cliff where the uber's seem to be unable to climb or jump onto at the moment!)
2) The music... yet again and once for all: would Hollywood finally believe that DURING ACTION RAP AS BACKGROUND MUSIC SIMPLY DON'T WORK!! During preparations, yes. During testosterone-indulging conversations, yes. But during ACTION - BIG NO! Heavy tunes, heavy tunes- either rock (Worked beautifully in Crow) or techno / hard trance (works best, as seen in Blade 1, Replacement killers etc.) And a word about the using of trance: before putting on anything that sounds cool in that side of the Atlantic, ask an opinion about it from Europe. "Confusion" [P.P.R. RMX] was a lucky shot in the beginning of Blade 1, but "Blood Is Pumping" by Voodoo & Serano in Blade 2 is not just VERY old news in here, it's also a bad example of a rip-off remake (the original is "Up to no Good" by Porn Kings). Just from the top of my head I could have given the makers half a dozen better tunes to play in the rave scene. So, for the next time, give me a call :)
