Decent sequel

Rating: 10/10 (26 January 2020)

When a sequel changes its director, it wasn't a great sign. Norrington delivered a stylish vampire hit and deserved to return to the seat, but apparently chose not to. Enter Del Toro and if you've followed his career, the guy is a visionary. Blade 2 is essentially Blade part II. That's an important thing to note, as the storyline thread is heavy connected to the first. The film is far from the first film and the filmmaker ensures this is a completely different film. I love this film and the first. Both filmmakers had strong visual styles and it was a shame neither would assist the third film. The villain is well constructed and unlike Frost from the first film, he could kill Blade from the beginning. The film has a fun cast and a filmmaker at the beginning of his career. There's some minor errors, but they could be due to budget lags and a rushed production.
