Summary: this DVD is LOUD - DTS rocks
Review: Okay i saw this in the theaters and thought it was a better movie than the first. It's much more comic book than the previous film which i like. Blade [is great] in this , much more than the first. Better martial arts, much scarier, much more gruesome. The DVD is so loud, i have DTS and listened to both it, and the dolby digital version and dang is it loud. I put another dvd in after , and didn't change the volume and it was much lower. Sound is excellent, picture is excellent, they did a great job with this DVD. The 2nd DVD is just full of features and documentaries about the making of Blade 2 and you realize how much work went in to the "little things" in this movie. I really feel like i got my money's worth with buying this one. If you like Blade 2 then buy the DVD. Can't wait for Blade 3.

Summary: Blade, the crusader
Review: "Blade 2" is an enjoyable formula-film, characterized from an almost unsuspicious romantic tinge.
In the second chapter of the series, the new vampires leader sends his attractive daughter to negotiate a temporary alliance with Wesley Snipes-Blade, half man-half vampire, immune to the light and silver, and pitiless exterminator (in ninja-samurai style) of vampires.
The final goal is to chase a common enemy: the deadly Nomak, a vampire-Frankestein, degenerated from an unlucky cloning experiment by the vampires leader himself, able to infect both men and vampires, transforming them in degenerate beings.
To help Blade in the audacious enterprise, it's ready a squad of presumed ultra-trained vampires, who are going to go up as smoke.
At the end, after an apocalyptic "ridding of pests", and literally incinerated all the characters of the script, Snipes and the faithful Kris Kristofferson (this one revived from the first "Blade") are the only survivors.
It turns out immediate to the reader as the final goal's surely achieved without need to add any particulars.
There is not even the risk, sometimes feared, that the new sequel could foresee too many points of contact with the actual chapter.
The general plant of the plot goes back to "Aliens" and to "The dirty dozen," without neglect suggestions even from "Popeye" (the regenerating dive in the pool of blood remembers much the "spinach-effect"; and after all also Blade is a character of the comic strips).
In the context of an approximate screenplay, that seems spoiled from repeated afterthoughts, it stands out the not verbal dialectic between Blade and Nyssa, the daughter of the Vampire Nation "leader maximo".
The tenebrous Nyssa is not able to win the dull distrust of the crusader Blade in useful time and, tricked even from the father, broken not from the fights but in the heart, she surrenders without resist to the infected bite of the degenerate stepbrother, choosing then to incinerate between the arms of Blade, in a dark romanticism that remembers "Arch of Triumph".
At the end it seems however to go in ash just the hero-Blade, incapable in distinguishing between nobility and poverty and between faith and fanaticism; the whole story at the same time coming to an unintentional parable on the destructive effects of the ideological absolutism.
It would have been interesting to go into the opposition between humans such biologically but ethically vampires (see the characters of Scud and Kounen) and vampires such biologically but ethically humans; but that required too much courage...
"Blade 2" stays an enjoyable formula-film.

Summary: Excellent example of style over substance
Review: Thanks in large part to director Guillermo del Toro, "Blade 2" is a whiz-bang sequel. [The original was directed by Stephen Norrington.] It may be just a testosterone-laden movie aimed squarely at young males, but at least it's finely crafted and not without a touch of style. As for substance, forget substance. It's based on a comic book and, if the characters all behave in a cartoonish way, perhaps that's on purpose. As for the special effects, "Blade 2" has some creatures that are genuinely scary. When these mutant vampires take a bit out of you, they don't kid around. The script is absurd and full of plot holes. Blade [Wesley Snipes], half man, half vampire, now faces a new enemy - a new kind of vampire that is unaffected by most of the conventional weapons used against such creatures, Even the purebred members of Vampire Nation enlists his aid because these monsters are out to get them, too. The script, though, is just a framework on which is built a series of dazzling, adrenaline-pumping fight sequences, all fought on fairly ingenious and properly creepy sets. "Blade 2" is strictly for the boys. It's a bad choice for a date movie. Frankly, it's not really my kind of movie. I'm more intrigued by character-driven fare. Still, it's only fair to admit that, for what it is, this is very good entry in the horror genre.

Summary: A Big Yawn
Review: If your taste runs to the sophomoric ideation such as the WWF and that ilk, by all means, run to see the film. However, if you are seeking a storyline that isn't interrupted every few minutes with inane martial arts, puffed up chit chat, and an accompanying Rap soundtrack, avoid it. The best bet with this is to rent it first. Personally it was a money waster for me and I regret buying it based on the original Blade without having seen this sequel first. It won't hold up well on repeated viewings the way the first one does. When all is said and done, this film seeks to financially cash in on the Rap/Hip Hop culture and the many anime/martial arts fans while dressing it up in a pseudo-vampire theme. Those associated with this film should be embarrassed to have lent their questionable talents to its creation. Better luck next time New Line!

Summary: Blade II- Bloody Well Done
Review: I must say that Blade II was awesome, a very concised and simple way of explaining to you how good this film is. I am really glad I saw it in theaters, it was one enjoyable experience that I will always want to remember. Wesley Snipes is terrific as Blade, the half-human, half-vampire creature who must team up with his sworn enemies in order to defeat the other deadly vampires which are taking out the world as we speak, supposedly that is. This movie is full of sweet and stunning and artful action sequences with terrific visual and special effects. Including amazing fighting sequences, interesting weapons and a load of mean, deadly attitude. Kris Kristofferson costars as Whistler, Blade's master and helps him to defeat his deadly rivals. A true masterpiece of action and science-fiction.
Blade II is a lot better then the first with a load of action that will want to make you see this film again and again. You should definetly see BLADE II! Available to own on Video and DVD on September 3rd, 2002. Own it, because it is truly worth your time and money. Trust me! Buy it or atleast rent it. See Blade II

Summary: Kick-Bottom Sequel.
Review: Blade ( Wesley Snipes) returns in this sequel to the modern Vampire classic " Blade", this time he and a group of Vampire Killing Bounty Hunters are after a new species of Vampires who suck the lifeforce out of both humans and Vampires but only Blade can stop them. A highly entertaining and fantastic sequel that belongs in the genre of great sequels along with " Evil Dead II", " Dawn of the Dead", " Aliens", " T2", " Scream 2", " Empire Strikes Back" and others. So if you loved the first one, then get this one and enjoy the action.

Summary: Not as good as the first
Review: This film is not as good as the first , but that's not to say that isn't a good movie. First off I was disapointed to see that it was made with a differant director that probably explains why it is not as good as the last and also why it was shot in 1:85.1 rather than 2:35.1. If you are a blade fan you might like it if you can over look the fact it is a differant director with a much differant style.

Summary: BEST ACTION MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN!
Review: This is without a dought, the best action movie I have ever seen. Blade 2 starts off as Blade (Snipes) giving you a quick review about he became Blade. Very intersting. Then it has him running in a tunnel finding his mentor Whistler (Kris Kristofferson) in a tube in which the vampires have been torturing him. You dont see that. Then he brings him home. And he is talking to him and his pal Scudsy. Then as their talking the Bloodpack people come in soooo quietly that you can not hear their footstep at all. Now here comes the action. Blade is doing all this Martial arts action and is donig a GREAT job at it too! Then as he is going to kill the last person of the Bloodpack, he says we have a proposition for you. Blade listens. He says there is a SUPER VAMPIRE out on the lose. Blade is like " So let me get this strait. " You want me to kill this vampire for you"? And from there it is action, suspense and some tense moments. Much better then the first one. Blade 2 is rated "R" for Strong Persuasive violenve, language, some drug use and language. This movie has blood in it. That is a defenitly. But I think Blade 2 is better with all the blood. It makes it more exciting. It really dosent have any gore, but there are 2 parts that could make you a little grossed out. Both of them are a back reveiling a guys spine (not that bad) and a person opening up a super vampires chest. There arent that bad, but they made me a little grossed out. But then I liked it. On my scale from 0-10 Blade 2 is a Pulse Pounding, Action Packed 10! Great movie. Have fun!

Summary: A 4.5 / 5, an unforgetable visionary experience
Review: This is much superior that the original cult film. Wesley Snipes reprises his role once again as the half breed (half human, half immortal) bounty hunter, and this time he is about to join forces with his all-time sworn enemies (the vampires), to take on a perpetual new breed of vampires known as The Reapers. A truly dazzling experience in its superb imagery, premise and action sequence. In fact better than QUEEN OF THE DAMNED. One of the year's best!!!!!
