Not as good as the original

Rating: Null/10 (9 April 2002)

An excellent opening is followed by a bit of a slump in the night club scene. Personally, the reapers would have been alot more frightening and effective had they left out the silly over-the-top effects, like they do at the beginning. The ending picks up a bit, but it doesn't quite manage to create the adrenaline rush, manic-grin-on-face effect of the original. Maybe the tremendous fight in Blade's hideout (apart from hideous computer generated Blade bit) sets too high a mark for the rest of the film. On the whole, worth watching, but don't expect better than the original.
