Summary: Great fun-not for family
Review: After seeing Blade I was pretty impressed with the action scenes and cool plot and special effects. When Blade 2 came out I knew I had to see it. Besides the fact that I had to lie my way in because I'm 16 it was incredibly awesome. The whole plot revolves around Blade and his new found friends the vampires. They have to fight of the evil reapers, a genetically mutaed version of the vampires. Blade's friend the whistler returns from the first movie and blade has a new HQ man named skud. Packed with action, great special effects and a decent plot Blade 2 was simply awesome. The vampire deaths were very cool. My only negative thing is it is DEFINETLY not a famliy movie. The whole time its completely dark and there are lots of (cool) explict deaths. This movie is a must see for groups of friends, or even familys with older kids. I loved it.

Summary: Good Follow Up
Review: Saw it opening day and liked it a lot. Sure, it isn't heavy on philosophy, but it delivers plenty of action. Snipes continues to do an excellent job in the lead role. I find his acting in the series to be interesting in that he conveys so much character without having to say much. I guess you'd call that presence. Anyway, I also liked the interaction between Snipes and the vampire princess. (Can't remember actresses name.) Many critics weren't impressed by their chemistry, but I liked it because it was subtle and not over the top. Looking forward to the next one. :)

Summary: Ice Skating Up Hill
Review: I loved Blade. It had it all: great action; good story; cool effects; a bad... hero; a menacing villian. It rose above the typical conventions of the action/horror genre. Everywhere that the first film succeeded the sequal failed. Too bad.As we rejoin Blade he is on the trail looking for Whistler. Yes, thats right, he is not dead after all. Kris Kristofferson is a respected name, he had to be in this. Of course he finds him quickly because, well, he has to be in the movie. Then the real plot begins. There is a new breed of vampires and they are killing other vampires. So the vampire hierarchy enlists Blade to join forces and rid the world of these new parasites. Get ready? No. This sounds good. That is what I thought before I saw it. Steve Norington (the director of the first Blade) should have directed this film because he would have stayed true to the root. By this I mean this film never should have taken place. Blade joining forces with vampires? No way, NO WAY. But I get it. By doing so the filmmakers have all kinds of great scenarios, betrayal (Of which there is no shortage), action (again plenty), gore (it gets silly), and special effects (which could rival Satr Wars). They even have a "special" team of combat trained vampires (Of course they have slick names, weapons, and attire and are introduced with a slow motion pan over them). There is one glaring problem here. What about the story being effective? Obviously no one at New Line asked this question. So, as sequals go, the studio, gave us a film that hit all the highlights of the first film, but missed the magic that made it a good movie. There is some good action here, to be be certain. However unlike the first film, the suspention of reality is a absolute must in order to enjoy it here. In the end all it is is a watered down version of the original. I expected much more.

Summary: Don't waste your money on this movie
Review: Eh eh, you gotta be kidding... this movie is (maybe) ok for a Monday evening in front of the TV if you are absolutely sure that you don't have anything else to do (but I would double-check first, you never know; maybe you wanna defragment the hard-drive on your PC and watch all its clusters being reorganized), but do yourself a favor: don't waste your money on this, your time in front of the TV set would already be enough. I tried hard to find at least one reason to like this movie, and the only one I found was that the female vampire Nyssa was beautiful. Oh, yeah, and the movie goes to great lengths to show us that she is also a person with a strong ethical character. Yes, she is a vampire, but a good vampire, if you know what I mean. And Blade kind of falls for her, even though she's his enemy and he's devoted his life to killing all vampires. But again, would you hope for the two of them to start a family? I can already picture it. I mean, the Addams family was weird, but it would be nothing compared to this one.
But I'm going off-track. Let's stick with the movie and talk about the acting. Acting? Eh eh. Ok, let's get serious and let's talk about the plot. Plot? Eh eh. Now, let's get really serious and let's talk about the fighting scenes and the special effects. If you've seen The Matrix, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and The Musketeer, there's nothing new under the sun here, or, since with we're talking about nightwalkers, there's nothing new under the moon. In conclusion, the person I saw the movie (movie? Eh eh) with summed up the whole thing with a poignant comment: "This movie was not entertaining. It was just gross."

Summary: "Style"
Review: In the sequel to the 1999 action masterwork "Blade", we see Wesley Snipes return to the role that forever enhanced his cool, under the directorship of Guillermo Del Toro of "Chronos", "Mimic" and "Devils Backbone" fame, rather than Stephen Norrington who perfectly executed the first outing.
The story is pure comic book goodness from the scripting pen of Dave Goyer seeing Blade team with an elite squad of Vamps called the Blood Pack in order to eliminate the greater threat of a mutated strain of vampires called Reapers, headed by former 80's boyband sensation Luke Goss (who is surprisingly good). Kris Kristofferson returns as Whistler in a fairly believable fashion and for "Red Dwarf" fans Danny John Jules, better known as the Cat, puts in an appearance as co leader of the Blood Pack.
Blade 2 retains all the elements that made its predecessor a sleeper success. Snipes plays Blade with the expected cold demeanor and dry wit while Kristofferson epitomises the grizzled old timer. Newcomer Leonor Varela also shines as the potential love interest in conflict with her Vampiric roots.
It is not the characterisation that makes this film however nor indeed the depth of plot both of which are pale and quickly forgotten in comparison to the explosive action sequences and fight scenes which come closer to the Hong Kong style than anything to date. Del Toro follows Norrington in blending the archaic "old world" of vampire fable with the modern club scene using Prague as a perfect backdrop, putting the quaint and futuristic together to create a tech-noir hybrid of which this film oozes. There are buckets of style, each character looking sleek and sexy yet highly individualised despite the obvious black garb and the best has been made out of the special effects budget allowing for effects that are extravagant yet subtle given the films nature.
If your Friday night requires an all out actioner/horror, gorefest with the best fights this side of Japan then blade 2 will not fail to satisfy. If however your type of film needs depth, strong characterisation and thought required then steer clear of Blade like an oncoming bus. My own view - Blade 2 is high quality dope on a rope so fans of the original bring a spoon, you'll eat this up.

Summary: Blade II Review
Review: The movie has not really much of a storyline. It is an non stop action flick. For people that have seen the first movie this one will be rather disapointing, since it is much more filled with gore and violence. Several mistakes have been made in the story line(example: Eating of Donuts in the Check Repulic which are only sold in the USA) However if you wanna zone out from the real world and see some action this is probably your movie.

Summary: At last a sequel that makes it's predecessor pointless!
Review: Lets start off by saying that I thought the original Blade [was not good]. It lacked decent action and focused too much on character development and dramatic buildup. It should have been an action movie! I wasn't going to see Blade 2 but my landlord saw it and said it was Marvel Comics meets Aliens, and he was not far off! Perhaps stretching the bad taste factor a bit much, but hey we're all fans off the gross-out movie now anyway! Blade 2 has plot, not much, but it has a decent story that is easy to follow and much more fun to watch! Anyone who wants some drama, character development or romance should not even consider this. Hollywood delivers the first truly great action horror movie in years. It has gore, violence, witty one-liners and above all fun. The past few years Hollywood has produced some of the most bland cinema i've ever seen, it seems that only directors who are not American can deliver!

Summary: Good movie..but...
Review: OK. Blade 2 is awesome, but... the camera was always too tight in the fighting sequences. You could never get a good look at what's going on and never seen any of the cool moves. That's the only thing that killed this film for me. It was great up till the fight sequences jumped too fast. Who ever was at the editing room shouldn't have chopped up some of the sequences so much that you get a second of one punch, then half a second for a kick...and so on. The digital recreation of the characters to make their fight sequences look better worked, but again, the camera was too close to the action during so you couldn't get a good look at what's going on. The only fight sequence that the camera was at a good distances was when Blade was fighting the Blood Pack inside his "hideout". I think if you're going to see it, see it on a smaller screen, you'll get a better look of what's going on.

Summary: "Forget what you know ... vampires are real."
Review: So begins the second installment of a possible action / vampire franchise, BLADE II. Wesley Snipes is back as the half-man, half-vampire hunter of the undead is a dazzling adventure that is pyrotechnically brilliant. His performance is part karate, part camp ... but it works to wonderful appeal. After the re-introduction of Kris Kristofferson's character (thought to have been killed in the first installment), Blade is recruiting by the Vampire Nation for an interesting twist of an assigment: it seems that the vampire virus has mutated, creating a new breed of SuperVampires who feed on the undead ... making an awful lot of vampires uncomfortable. So, Blade and the Vampire Nation call a truce in order to join forces to fight the minions of the SuperUndead. From there, the audience is catapulted into a world where vampires maintain their own nightclubs secretly while the rest of society goes about their mundane yet mortal lives. What works here is the fact that the formula stuck to the 'crackerjack' formula: package it sweet ... and leave a little surprise for the intelligent viewer. BLADE isn't for the Anne Rice fan contingent; rather, these films are specifically targeted at a much younger and, perhaps, less literate demographic. That's not to take anything away from the story (with has classic overtones hinting at good vs. evil as well as the Frankenstein Syndrome); as a matter of fact, BLADE II succeeds on just about every level it promises. My only question is when did all the Undead feel it was necessary to learn a martial art?
