Even better than the first, Blade 2 is the sequel that puts all films in the comic genre to shame.

Rating: 9/10 (31 March 2002)

Blade 2 was, without a doubt, simply excellent. It did not set out to be an Oscar-contender, and obviously, will not be. What it did aim to do, however, was entertain for a solid 100 minutes, a feat that only a miniscule percentage of films can actually do. This sequel was even better than the first, making it the sequel that Batman Returns failed to be, and the sequel X2 can only HOPE to be. Being a fan of comic books and films based on comic books, I must say that Blade 2 is the true gem of the genre. It is better than Blade, From Hell, X-Men, Batman, and yes, even good ol' Christopher Reeves' Superman. It will keep you on the edge of your seats for the entire ride, and will throw in-your-face action at you from ever angle. The fight scenes are amazing and the characters are excellently done. Right now, Wesley Snipes is sitting atop the mountain of comic-films. The battle may wage on soon, however, when Tobey Maguire web-slings his way to square off against the vampire slayer.
