FTL Vamps

Rating: 6/10 (24 March 2002)

I liked Blade 1, and I know sequals are usually weaker than the original so I wasn't expecting as much from this film. And it was worse than I thought. The fight scenes were good, the plot was shaky, reminded me of Vampire Jurassic Park, but the part that got me was the complete character stupidity. Spoiler.... When the characters say, only UV Light will kill them, then why not just have Blade walk through the tunnels with big UV lights strapped to his body? The Vamps were told to cover up, so they do, EXCEPT FOR THEIR HEADS!!!!!! Why couldn't they use the same uniform they used to go into Blade's hideout and use big huge UV lights??? Sorry, I can accept some character stupidity but when the characters themselves say UV lights can kill them, then they use tiny little lights and 10 second delay bombs, please, that's insulting to me. And did anyone else notice that when the UV grenade bomb went off in the tunnel, that the main female vamp either saw the light coming, or heard the explosion of the light bombs and DODGED THE LIGHT???? I understand vamps are fast, but she was able to move FASTER THAN THE LIGHT??? Just too silly. One cool thing, the preview for Jason X. Did it remind anyone else of Leprechaun in Space?
