Something to pass time with

Rating: 6/10 (4 August 2006)

Blade-2 is no where nearly as good as the original Blade movie and it seems to be a lesser effort in the first place. The storyline in this case is nothing unusual but the introduction of a bunch of new characters makes it pretty weird. As usual, there is non stop action and very fast, fluidic vampire ass kicking with little subtlety and plot. Abraham Whistler is also reintroduced, seems he survived being turned before shot and all, but in this movie, he is much more of a loser than in the previous. Snipes himself does'nt seem to respect him as much. There are a few original ideas (concerning action of course) and a few good moments but this movie isn't great. At the same time, its far from bad. 6.5/10 seems to be appropriate
