Great! Tarrantino knows what he's doing

Rating: 8/10 (19 June 2005)

Blade 2 is a great movie. As it is a sequel the film creators knew (apparently) they couldn't have the same success, as Blade 1 was almost perfect, they turned to more characters, new enemies, a different storyline and a new feeling overall. It worked great. The sequel is not better than the original, but it's close. And for a sequel this is saying a lot. After all we have three great actors: Wesley Snipes, Kris Krisstoferson and Ron Pearlman. There's action, great visual effects and an awesome soundtrack. What more could you want from a sequel. There are just two things that REALLY bother me: 1) near the end of the movie, i don't quite remember, but i think Ron Pearlman's character was shooting with a rifle at Whistler and sparks appeared on the metal rails. This is simply laughable. How come NONE of those pellets hit Whistler? I know it's a movie but come on... 2) few moments later when Whistler throws Blade's sunglasses to him. Blade catches them perfectly. That's another moment for 10-year-old children to be happy about saying: 'Wow, maaan, look at how Blade caught his glasses, maaaan! So cool!' Besides these two moments i find this movie to be one of those REALLY successful sequels. 8/10 is a fair mark as far as i'm concern.
