Ohh My!! Blade 2 Is One Bloody Good Sequel.

Rating: 8/10 (5 April 2002)

I'm not going to write a long review for Blade 2. I just want to say.."SEE IT!!" This sequel is much better then the original, with more fight scenes, more gore, way more vampires and a lot of cool surprises. I was very impressed. Wesley Snipes did a great job reprising his role as the DayWalker. In a recent interview he said he would be happy to do a Blade 3 if the story was decent and other comic book characters we're introduced. So there's a good chance for a sequel. The plot for Blade 2 is about a new breed of vampire that doesn't have any weaknesses. Trying to use silver bullets, garlic, holy water, or crosses just don't work. The only thing that can kill them is sunlight and a stake through the heart (I guess they DO have a couple weaknesses). They are twice as strong and agile as the normal vampire. They also have a heartier (no pun intended) appetite for blood. The Daywalker is teamed up with the BloodPack (group of Vampires that we're trained to terminate the DayWalker) to stop the new breed known as Reapers. The plot isn't anything special, but it keeps the movie moving in the right direction and provides plenty of action along the way. My only disappointment was with some of the cheesy special effects use during the fight scenes. One fight between Blade & Nyssa was partly done in CGI and looked pretty bad. Why wasn't wire-style fighting used instead? More could have been with the plot as well, but what's here isn't terrible.
Overall it's a must see movie. If you watched the first Blade and enjoyed it, Blade 2 should be on your list of things to do.
