Sequel is pretty DULL...

Rating: 5/10 (24 March 2002)

Besides that this movie is quite long (or maybe it felt that way..?) and taxes the patience, Blade II has it's good qualities. But in my opinion, this is a film that can wait to be seen once it is out for rent. There is a plot, a simple one. There's plenty of action, too much action that is a result of Snipes' love for the martial arts and control of the movie. The fighting scenes are a big chunk of the film and yeah, I knew that it was basically the movie's basis. But come on...too many becomes really old really quick. The same moves over and over...ugh. Guillermo's vision for Blade's cinematography is said to be the result of studying Dr. Dre and Eminem videos...odd. The special effects and make-up though were top-notch. Yes, there are plenty more good things about Blade II, but the bad really outweighed the good, and that just plain BITES.
