Summary: More and beyond imagination!
Review: I could not have even imagined they could come up with such new and exciting vampire "rules of the game". They had excellent computer graphics, with a science fiction "atmosphere" and a great plot!! Can't wait to see #3!!

Summary: Better than the first, a pretty good sequal
Review: Blade 2 is a great action movie with vampires and blood. The action scenes in this movie are awesome and the dialogue isn't bad. I quite enjoyed this movie and the only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 was because at times the movie was too dark.

Rating:
Summary: Very Good
Review: I enjoy the Blade movies and are good translations from the graphic novels. Some of the action sequences are a bit noticable but tolerable. A perfect popcorn film.

Summary: AWESOME, or, How I learned to stop Worrying and Love BladeII
Review: The first time I saw this movie, helmed by horror-maestro and visionary Guillermo del Toro, I hated it.

Why? Well, for one thing, it didn't feel like the first Blade outing; I didn't like the Reapers (far too goopy, with those spring loaded sideways-firing jaws---not erotic at all); I thought the Vampire corporation was lame---the motorcycle helmeted cattle-prod wielding thugs just didn't work. And the fight sequences---it was all too WWF for me, lots of wrestling maneuvers filmed without style, enthusiasm, or the panache of the first installment. Blade II, at least the first time around, felt flat.

Two months later I was bored, looking for a nice, sleek, glossy, high-tech gorefest to watch to pass the time. Guess which movie I chose? You got it: Blade II.

Let's face it: Guillermo del Toro has style, style in spades, and so does Blade II. The opening credits (after the initial melee with Russian mob vampires, all very stylish) are worth the price of admission alone, and set up Blade's first mission: find his old pal and aide-de-camp Whistler (played by Kris Kristofferson, in the role he was born to play), who has been turned into a vampire, and cure him or kill him.

Are you still with me? Good. Look at those credits: right there you have an excellent sense of what this Blade movie is all about. Pure, sheer, adrenaline fueled, sleek and sexy, leather clad style. Blade II is a movie that is all about style.

PLOT: There's a new vampire in town, and its name is the Reaper: more ruthless, stronger, more powerful, far nastier, and certainly less photogenic than the 'suckheads' Blade fought in the first movie, the Reapers pose a threat to both vampires and humans, as the opening sequence demonstrates. Blade is recruited by the global Vampire corporation to join forces with the BloodPack, a group of vampires assassins specially trained to kill him.

This time, though, they're ordered to work with him to hunt the Reapers and destroy them. And what a team the Bloodpack is: helmed by Ron Perelman, an uneven but physically intimidating actor who is perfect for this movie, right down to his bulging biceps and shaven pate. And from the start, he hates Blade (need I even mention that Blade is played to the hilt by Wesley Snipes?), his erstwhile ally and future enemy. Half of the fun of Blade II is in the playful enmity between the two, and del Toro plays it for keeps.

But let's boil it down: this movie is about high style, and in that vein, del Toro succeeds admirably. The action sequences are nicely paced, the cinematography is lush and dark, the fight sequences, even the clumsy ones, are well shot, and the movie is chock full of really cool stuff, with the gore ratched well higher than the first installment.

Brains? Absolutely none. But Blade II is a sleek, lush, stylish horror/action movie, and certainly worth sinking your teeth into.

Summary: better than 1
Review: nomak is a cool bad guy. the setting (prague) is cool. great ending. cool sound track. only 4 because of some cheap dialoge (which all action movies have) and no car chases. good extras include making of vidios which come out to about 1 hour, half hour of deleted scenes that were rightfully deleted, comentary, stupid music video, and other stuff.

Summary: Snipes is back in action
Review: Blade II (2002) Wesley Snipes, Kris Kristofferson, Ron Perlman, Luke Goss, Leonor Varela, Norman Reedus, Thomas Kretschmann, D: Guillermo del Toro. Loud, bloody, slice-and-dice retread to the loud, bloody, slice-and-dice predecessor again has Marvel Comics' wisecracking night warrior, The Day Walker defeating vampires. This time, he sides with a band of his hard-hitting enemies to take on something they both have never encountered: a vicious super-vampire that is making its own type of vampires. Spectacular special effects and style, which are more confident this time, get in the way of the mythology of vampires and crucially the story; the movie also turns mind numbing and grotesque. Running Time: 117 minutes and rated R for strong persuasive violence, language, some drug use, and sexual content.
