I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Blade II may be the trashiest (in the best sense of the word) to be directed by a Best Director Oscar winner. Wesley Snipes returns as the vampire hunter who is part vamp himself as facing a new breed of blood suckers who are a greater threat to humanity. Guillermo Del Toro brings his trademark eye for the weird in the form of the Reapers (and their nightmare jaws that open for to suck on victims) who lead by Jared (80's pop idolLuke Goss) Nomak. There are sequances that have a slow burn of suspense unfolding before exploding into dynamic action including one (typical of Del Toro ) set in a sewer system. That is not to say that bad guys are not dispatched in fun ways, one is vaporised by a bomb and another is sliced upwards. Ant there fight scenes that show off Snipes martial arts skills to the max. Blade II may not be high art like The Shape of Water but it is a lot of fun.

Movie Review: "Blade II" (2002)The successor to an ultra-dark "Blade" starring Wesley Snipes as the title-given "Daywalker" directed by Stephen Norrington comes along with highly-motivated 37-year-old director Guillermo del Toro getting presented with plain evolutionary script to "Dark Universe" niche-beginnings of Marvel Studios under contract with Warner Bros. affiliate New Line Cinema, which distributed "The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring" (2001) to major success at the international box office."Blade II" targets a faster-received as consumed moviegoer-group with an justified R-rated picture in which the director receives the production values of an Hollywood production for the first time his career to bring stark-composited digital-imagery-compositions to the silver-screen of movie houses around the world, putting his name as visionary director on the map in favor to producers seeking high-end entertainment for a young adult audience.Action scenes are superb with flavors of science-fiction-horror ingredients, which made the director Guillermo del Toro notorious and famous for competent and professional deliverable, even though in the case of "Blade II" the original writing effort of the director is missed, when star-actor and producing partner Wesley Snipes carries this vampire-action movie alongside sidekicking actor Kris Kristofferson as reprising character Whistler.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

This is a great movie. It is very fast past. It also very scary. It has a great story line it also has great acting. It also has great special effects

I am a fan of dark fantasy movies like Underworld.So,I took up on Blade as well.The first one was OK as well even though the visual effects were not so good but that is understandable considering when it was made.I was hoping for an improvement at the second film.I didn't really see it.While the plot is very interesting especially in the beginning with the introduction of a new element,after a while the hype is gone.There are many reasons behind that.First of all,there are a lot of unnecessary bad-ass wannabe moments when many characters try to act tough with no reason at all.Second of all,full of silly clichés.The vamp squad's members names were all typical,tough and mighty,trying so hard to create some kind of badassery but fails since they are so weak.Their cloths and weapons,ridiculous gigantic hammers etc....They are just not that great.They had a fierce appearance but had a weak result.And what about those supposedly explosive punch metal things that Blade had?No one exploded...big fuss for nothing.A vampire squad of the very elites and they had no equipment??And almost none of them could fight?They were dropping dead like flies..Another thing that ruined it for me are the plot holes.In the first they appear with special outfits that protect them from light,but later on,when Blade suggests they fight the enemy in daylight,every seems confused,surprised and angry because they are saying they have no way to escape light.WHAT ON EARTH?Even in the previous movie,vamps could stand in daylight with mere sunscreen or wore black leather clothing and helmets.Yet in this one,sun light seems to burn even their clothes.No explanation of Damaskinus appearance.Why was he like that?Why did he look like he was sick?Why his blood was blackish?Also,Whistler acts like he is in his home,not caring much about the movie or what happens.Blade's complete lack of any emotion,may seem cool in the beginning,after a while it gets tiring.Priest was bitten and he started transforming almost immediately and Nisa too.Lighthammer was cool for like a whole day.A plot hole to create an element of surprise or suspense?Big fail....Nomak transformed anyone who bit him.In the end he was shown bitting numerous humans or vamps(whatever the guards were) but I suppose that doesn't help our story telling so we pretend it never happened,right?What about Blade?He seems to be really affected by brute force,bullets and electricity but in the final battle he gets smashed upon walls and pillars and he acts like he's been touched by butterfly wings.His chest is getting cracked and he sits up a second later but then,he gets punched and seems to be suffering.WHAT???Also,he is supposed to have all of a vampire's strengths but none of their weaknesses.So he is as strong and fast as any vampire...Then why any other vampire appears to be so weak when they come in comparison?There are may other plot holes and uncontinuities but I care not to list them all down.I believe all these are more than enough.In the end,we have a nice villain,creepy and strong.A biological mystery and a lot of shooting and fighting in dark places.On the other hand we have plot holes,bad acting,silly clichés and childish battle choreographies.It gets a 5/10 barely...
