Blade II

Blade II is the perfect marriage of fanboy and filmmaker. Everything you'd want out of a Blade movie - gore, martial arts, gunplay, clever quips, and techno music - is here to the nth degree. Best of all, it's filmed and choreographed with absolute mastery (thanks Donnie Yen!) Guillermo del Toro never forgets to include his more artistic side. Detailed creature anatomy, amazing creature design, an understanding of where to put the camera, and great characters. It's all here. Blade II is an…

The second piece of this vampire hunter trilogy blurs the lines between Action, Super Hero and Horror, which personally I'm kinda liking. This time around, Blade (Wesley Snipes; New Jack City, Chaos), Abraham Whistler (Planet of the Ape, Provinces of Night) and new arrival Scud (Norman Reedus; The Boondock Saints, Pandorum) must team up with the Blood Pack, made up of Dieter Reinhardt (Ron Perlman; Hellboy, Outlander), Nyssa Damaskinos (Hell Ride, Wrong Turn at Tahoe), Chupa (Matt Schulze; Th…

**Blade II is more than just a good Blade or comic book movie. It's one of the best vampire films of the last 20 years.** Blade II was a significant step up for the Blade franchise (and, unfortunately, the trilogy's peak) with a much more experienced director and a unique and exciting premise. This time the vampires are the prey and are desperate to survive the growing horde of vampire zombies, desperate enough to side with their sworn enemy, Blade, in hopes of surviving this plague. Both Bla…

Not as good as the 1st. Seems like it was less action. Movie was still good though.

This time "Blade" (Wesley Snipes) joins forces with the vampire council to prevent the all-out eradication of the human and vampire species by the cross-breed "Reaper" that has such a rapacious hunger that it will devour just about anything to survive - no-one is safe! He allies with the "Bloodpack" and with "Scud" (Norman Reedus) on a quest to track down Luke Goss "(Nomak") who is the one creating these hybrid monsters, and to stop them before extinction beckons. This has quite a strong storyli…

<em>'Blade II'</em> is a good follow-up to the 1998 predecessor. I'd personally say that the plot in this 2002 flick isn't as good, but is still entertaining in its own right and is portrayed by a stronger cast. Wesley Snipes is Wesley Snipes, brilliant. Behind him, Ron Perlman stands out. I didn't know Norman Reedus was in this, love him in <em>'The Walking Dead'</em> - he elevates an otherwise forgettable character. Another favourite of mine is here too, as Matt Schulze of <em>'The Fast and…
