Customer Reviews of Blade II (New Line Platinum Series)

The plot...well the plot is lame, like all the secuels plot.
Example: Mein In Black 2(Horrible), Urban Leyends, final cut(Worst than Candyman 2) and(But not a secuel) The Scorpion King(What was that?).

Here our friend Blade, after he gets back his old partner Whistler, is asked by the vampire Damaskinos to be a like 7 vampire gruop boss to kill the reapers.Specially Nomak, the first one.

Blade II is not bad at all, but they could came with a better plot.Like I said, action is awesome.I was with my mouth opened all the movie, I couldn't belive what I was watching lokked so real!.

Wesley Snipes is not a good actor, but not bad at all.
The one I liked was Scud(Norman Reedus), he did a great job.
He was like, the funny guy of the movie(This movie have a lot of humor and sarcasm jokes).Scud is Blade's new partner.

Lyssa was pretty, and the other girl with red hair too.But unfourtunally I can't say that the two of them will survive.
Whistler is back men! He kicks buts here!, he's the best charachter of the movie, even better than Blade(Well, not Blade).

Director Guillermo Del Toro(Also directos of the cool monster movie with another bad secuel, Mimic) did an excellent job.
He knows his job.

Blade II is for horror/action movie lovers.Or, of course, the comic fans.
It's not better than the first one of course, but tis one has more action with the 2002 moder visual effects.
Go and see it now!

An exhausting experience...
Let me first say that I'm against this new action movie craze in which the heroes and villains are always squaring off in Matrix-style kung fu action. It's a trend that's simply getting dull and boring; not to mention some of it looks downright cheesy. The first Blade had a glimmer of this attribute even though it was out before the Matrix so, as most sequels do, Blade II tried to outdo it's predecessor by throwing in more action sequences with even more of this Matrix-esque kung fu action. But you know what? It rocks.

What we have here is a non-stop gore fest served up to near perfection by the talent of Guillermo Del Toro and Wesley Snipes who makes Blade, in my opinion, the coolest horror movie protagonist since Ash from the Evil Dead films. Granted, there's nothing really terrifying in either of the Blade movies to qualify as real horror, but you get the idea. This guy sports a long leather jacket, a pair of shades, a badass sword and a plethora of sharp objects. And he kills vampires. Lots of vampires. In his second outing, he has more of a sense of humor and is kind of starting to enjoy what he does (in the same way that Ash progressed between Evil Dead and Army of Darkness). Thusly, this makes his character more enjoyable and easier to root for. Simply put, he rules.

The villain in the second Blade outing is a lot more wicked than Deacon Frost was in the first. This time we have this thing called a "Reaper" who can't be killed as easily as a normal vampire and is also not as easy to look at. This guy is ugly with a capital "F." He's also a much better fighter than Frost was and, to a lesser extent, a little scarier which makes him a lot easier to hate. But in a strange way, he's a tragic figure who you almost feel bad for. Not to get sentimental, but it's not his fault he is the way he is and you'd really like to see him carry out HIS mission before Blade turns him into vampire soup.

The casting of supporting players is also terrific. Kris Kristofferson and Ron Perlman are a blast to watch.

As far as the title of my review goes, well, this is a sweat-inducing movie that rarely lets up. The action is fast-paced and the editing is hyper to the point of almost breaking the reel. But it's not that MTV type stuff we've all come to get sick of. I won't lie and say that the action comes out as poetic as some of John Woo's early stuff, but it comes pretty darn close. The action is certainly crazy, but even when there aren't bullets, blood and limbs flying around, there's a sense of "can I trust this guy?" throughout the film. Blade has to work with a band of leather clad vampires to stop the reapers, so they're not exactly the best team to pair up. And because of this animosity between the vampires and Blade, despite the fact that they need each other to carry out the mission, you just never know when one will suddenly turn on the other.

Blade II is an almost perfect action movie, but some of the CGI work is a little offbeat and doesn't blend well with the real action. Plus, even if this is an action/fantasy movie, there's no way in the world Blade's sunglasses could have stayed on his face during his fight with the Reaper. You'll agree once you see what I'm talking about. Oh, well. Small potatoes. The rumors are true: this is the best action movie of 2002.

BEST MOVIE EVER
After the first installment in the Blade series, I was really looking forward to the sequel - and I wasn't dissapointed. This far surpasses Blade and just hightens the suspense for Blade: Trinity (out Dec 10). Wesley Snipes is his usual great self in a fast-paced, suspense action movie. Kris Kristofferson is brilliant as Whistler once again (as are the rest of the cast). If you liked the first then you will definetly like this - and hopefully like me you cant wait for Blade: Trinity !
