Mmmm... I think The Law Of The Sequels apply here...

Rating: 5/10 (6 April 2005)

There's an unwritten Law Of The Sequels that goes (more or less) like this : "Seldom shall a sequel be as good, let alone better, as the first film." This has its exceptions ("Batman", "Superman), and tons of examples, such as "Highlander", "Mortal Kombat"... and "Blade".
The movie takes up two years after the first film. It turns out that Whistler (Kris Kristofferson) did not die when he shot himself, and Blade goes out to the rescue, in order to bring him back to humanity. However, the good old man is only a bait for some vampires to propose a truce to Blade. Why? they need him to bring down an evolved way of vampires that feeds on both humans and vampires.
I never actually read a single comic book of "Blade". Perhaps the movie goes strictly as the comic and I'm b******tting it, but not doing it consciously, I will continue. I like watching vampire movies, and the concept of an evolved vampire is interesting, but when the creature looks like the son of Nosferatu (the original 1929 film) and Predator, I'm disappointed. Even more when I see Blade uttering things like "Oooh, how exciting", or having a romantic interest.
The movie also features lots of martial arts, some done by Wesley Snipes, other by CGI, and other by a stunt surely. A good thing is the cameo Donnie Yen plays. Unfortunately, it's too short and he only kicks butts once. The rest of the cast has Ron Perlman ("Hellboy"), the above mentioned Kristofferson and Yen , and large load of people I don't know.
In short, it has martial arts, action, but the story (and some performances) is weak. To put it otherwise, reminds me of "Van Helsing". You watch it to have fun, vampire fan or not.
