Overall a good entertaining vampire hunt

Rating: 8/10 (7 April 2002)

I went to this movie with great expectancy since the first one was IMHO absolutely fantastic. But at first I got pretty disappointed. The movie starts of with a really bad story and some totally exaggerated martial acts scenes. In fact the scenes have been computer supported to much all over the movie. But you get uses to that. And after the first 20 minutes the real plot is about to begin. This is the point where the movie turns to good. Del Torro managed to put the scenes in perfect light and color. Wesley Snipes is again a cool vampire hunter, but he also shows feelings this time.
Overall this movie has much more visual effects than the old one. In my opinion it's too much. Other things that made me scoring only 8 of 10 are the martial act scenes and the weak plot. It is quite obvious how the movie ends, and the martial acts dominate the story.
If you like Blade I, you probably like Blade II as well and should go for it.
