Doesn't hold a candle to the first one.

Rating: 6/10 (8 April 2002)

Blade 2 was only a bad movie riding the money-making coattails of its predecessor. Blade was a fresh attitude and look on the vampire race. Blade 2 was only a chance to see more vampire violence. Yes, the fight scenes were pretty cool, but the CGI was really bad in places. And while vampires are supposed to move faster than humans, the speeded up fight scenes just looked hokey. The one-liners were stupid and out of place. The professional wrestling moves in the fight scenes were only vaguely amusing and entirely out of place. And I'll not even mention the emotionless, flat, and again out of place attempt at romance. I like Wesley Snipes, I like the Blade character, I like vampires. Go see this movie if you're looking for an unrealistic (even for a vampire movie) string of fight scenes. It's good in that respect. Just let all your brain cells take the night off and go see Blade 2. Then you can enjoy this movie.
