A cliched action sequel with major flaws and no story

Rating: 4/10 (22 March 2002)

I went into Blade 2 all psyched up. I was ready to love this film. Unfortunately, it let me down everywhere.
Wesley Snipes is cool as usual and so is Kris Kristofferson, but what the hell happened to everything else? There was no story, no emotion, and ACTION FOR NO REASON. As an aspiring filmmaker, this is one thing i truly hate in movies. Yes, the fight sequences are very well done and the CG quality reaches a nice climax at the end of the movie when there is a death animation.
However, Blade 2 is NOWHERE near as good as the original. No story, and loose tie-ins from the original help to ruin this sequel. There are a number of matrix, alien, and jet li inspired shots and in the end, the movie unravels itself. Score: 3/10 (I only wish it could've been better)
