Sick, fantastic, squeezed to the brim of action, sick! and sick!

Rating: Null/10 (2 December 2002)

Man! Any fan of the original Blade movie, or any fan of the action genre, will love this film! It has all the ingredients of the original, but gets them and multiplies them several times to give this sequel the definitive edge over Blade one. The action is intense and very much in keeping with the films comic book style, being fast paced and very much OTT, but at the same time keeping a somewhat believable appearance.
The special effects are to say the least, spectacular. The animitronics on some of the Reapers will have you genuinly cringing in disgust, as they feast on the pleasures of human (and Vampire!) flesh! The CGI of the reapers is equally disturbingly authentic, which will often have you wondering whether what you have just seen was computer generated or not.
Wesley Snipes is as ever very cool and in character again, giving at times some great comical moments to the proceedings. The supporting actors all put on decent enough performances and the storyline is straight forward and simple, nothing meaningful or subtle, but hey, this film isn't about drama, it's about action, and lots of it! In this sense it definitely provides on all fronts.
Better than the original by far, with great effects, GOREgeous fight scenes and a pumpin' soundtrack, make this film a must for fans of the original, fans of non stop action and those who like to feel sick at people getting eaten and stuff!
