DOESN'T SUCK!

Rating: Null/10 (25 March 2002)

BLADE II (2002) *** Wesley Snipes, Kris Kristofferson, Leonor Varela, Ron Perlman< Norman Reedus, Thomas Kretschmann, Luke Goss. Action packed, viscera aplenty , ass-kicking sequel to the Marvel Comics superhero adaptation of half-human, half-vampire Snipes (looking totally buff & streamlined to go) this time facing the unlikely teaming with his arch enemies  vampires  to battle to the death an unearthly foe in the form of a nasty Nosferatu hell bent on sucking the life force out of all on Earth. Adrenaline high fight sequences and impressive visual effects highlight the super sleek production design by carol spier, darkly glossy cinematography by Gabriel Beristain and inventive movements by inspired filmmaker Guillermo del Toro taking the gore factor up a notch to a real art form and a shot in the arm for the lucrative franchise.
