Blade II 6/10 I have to say that I was dissapointed with Blade II. Having been a huge fan of the first one (it's one of the few dvd's that every once in a while I pop in and watch again) I feel the second one falls flat when it comes to the story, plot, consistency, and recreating the Blade world. I noticed all of the plot holes mentioned in previous posts. The first movie is flawless to me. But in this one they screw up the whole idea of a Blade "vampire" with not being consistent when it comes to the vampires reacting to light, to other weapons, and the whole thing with whistler being a vampire and "cured" is another unexplained phenomenon. *SPOILER*
And if Blade's new helper was a "familiar", jeez, the guy could have just put poison in his serum when he was out killing vampires? Come on.
*SPOILER* The motivations in the whole movie are messed up too. Why have this huge fight in Blades lair just to deliver a message! Why did Blades helper shoot through a window in the car to kill a reaper - then, why didn't the reaper just climb in through that window! The whole movie felt like Alien:Resurrection to me. Ron Perlman's character didn't do crap. And we never really got to see the fangs of any of the vampires. It's like the movie wasn't even a vampire movie, it was about a team of fighters searching and hunting down a pseudo Predator-like creature. Couldn't they come up with some more original fangs?! Then, the action. The fights were way to fast and contained too much cgi. That one fight in Blades lair in front of the lights was terrible - cut the cgi guys. And then, the whole WWF wrestling moves were just too stupid. The fights in the first movie were so beautifully choreographed and worked great. Why not do that here? I could go on and on. I had great hopes for this movie. But after the opening scene, I realized that my hopes were probably not going to pan out. I can only hope Blade III redeems the series because it's really the only good modern day vampire "world". |
