Shocking

Rating: 4/10 (22 March 2004)

This review may contain a spoiler - although probably not as much as the film itself!
Hmm - Shocking. Yes it was. Not for the violence - nope thats kind of on track for a sequel to Blade. Nope what is shocking is the story, the acting, the CGI and the film itself.
Blade was a good film - not a great one - but a good action flick. This one is awful. Scud is the most annoying character I have come across for ages - and it was with utter relief when he went pop! I could rattle endlessly on about the obvious inconsistencies - like vampires searching in attics with a torch - when they can see in the dark. The CGI is very poor and obviously stands out. The actors are not helped by a see through plot - and Wesley Snipes doesn't get the opportunities to bring the character to life it deserves.
The "twist" that some people have alluded to is SO obvious its untrue. Its a real shame. The whole film smacks of being a gloriously bad sequel in the true sense of films that go one film to far. MI2 anyone? So its poor. Really poor. But at least I feel better now having got that off my chest.
