The best comic book movie i have ever seen

Rating: 9/10 (22 March 2002)

There are two types of sequels it seems: ones that, to put it lightly, aren't all that good and ones that surpass the original (like Terminator II and the Empire Strikes Back). Thankfully, Blade 2 happens to fall in the second category. This is, quite frankly, the best comic book movie I have ever seen mainly because the people who made it knew exactly what they were making. It is true that the plot is not all that much but it is full of enough twists and turns and blood (gallons and gallons of it) and guts to keep us interested. Anyways, compared to the crap we've been getting lately, crap that's even gone as far as to win Oscars (Gladiator anybody?), this is Shakespeare. I mean, I even found one of the last scenes rather genuinely beautiful and tragic (I'm not kidding, please don't throw tomatoes at me 'cause I'm over-sentimental). But anyways, for people who want to see a really gory, action packed movie that's actually good well you really can't go wrong with Blade 2. In fact I think it is the only gory, action packed movie that's actually good I've seen in quite a while.
