One Man Still Has The Edge
One man is still the cutting edge
Last time he fought against his sworn enemies....This time he will fight with them.
Faster. Sharper. Deadlier.
When Evil Strikes, One Man, Still Has The Edge.
Let the combat begin
A rare mutation has occurred within the vampire community. The Reaper. A vampire so consumed with an insatiable bloodlust that they prey on vampires as well as humans, transforming victims who are unlucky enough to survive into Reapers themselves. Now their quickly expanding population threatens the existence of vampires, and soon there won't be enough humans in the world to satisfy their bloodlust. Blade, Whistler (Yes, he's back) and an armory expert named Scud are curiously summoned by the Shadow Council. The council reluctantly admits that they are in a dire situation and they require Blade's assistance. Blade then tenuously enters into an alliance with The Bloodpack, an elite team of vampires trained in all modes of combat to defeat the Reaper threat. Blade's team and the Bloodpack are the only line of defense which can prevent the Reaper population from wiping out the vampire and human populations.

A Great Solid Action Horror
posted on 28 Aug 2009Reapers, a new breed of vampire that feed off humans and vampires, emerge with plans for world domination and Blade must team with the Bloodpack, an elite team of vampire warriors specifically trained to hunt him, in order to defeat this new menace.This is one of your different horror film. It's not scary because it has action! Maybe it's not that different, although it has a good plot. From this trilogy, I would say this is probably the best but I can't count on that, yet. Here's my explanation: I've only seen part of the first film, not even finishing it. Then I watched the third. Then I watched the first and didn't even finish it (again). Then I watched the second! So yeah, the whole series was a mix up.I like the way how this film can be seen without watching the first film because it helps explain the whole movie during the beginning, so it was not a problem watching this movie at all. This is a very fun and entertaining popcorn film! The action scenes are well made, with the use of the L-camera (is that how they call it?) and great choreography and CGI.Horror fans would also get to see some great kills and some squeamish scenes. This film is not meant to use realism. It's just to have fun. Wesley Snipes' acting was generally good as well as Leonor Varela. The creature and production design were all great.This is a different Guillermo del Toro work but it is a worthy addition. It's entertaining with the great action scenes and it's also filled with emotion (towards the end). Not scary, but if you want to watch an entertaining popcorn film, this is for you.
Sharper than part I
posted on 26 Aug 2009The original Blade was not a bad movie by any means. It wasn't particularly fantastic either. I didn't exactly have the highest expectations when I rented this. My only interest was in the director, Guillermo Del Toro, of whom I'm a fan. It seems to me that successful sequels utilize one thing: expanding the world in which the characters inhabit. In Aliens we didn't get one xenomorph, we got an entire army. In Terminator 2, the expected plot was twisted inside out and the scope of the film went above and beyond its predecessor. In Blade II the filmmakers clearly went the route of excess hoping more=better. In some regards it works. In some it does not.For starters, I LOVED the look of the movie. The visuals were the best part and I think pushing this one over the edge into full blown comic book territory was a wise decision. Blade is a comic book character and although the first one tried to keep a firm grip on reality, Blade II gleefully crosses the line aiming for more of a gothic fairy-tale sort of quality which I think suits the character better. I had no problems with the plot of the movie either. I think the Reapers were a great idea. We'd already seen Blade fight vampires. Creating a new enemy and having him team with vampires to fight them was an awesome way to go. After The Crow: City of Angels, I had serious doubts about screenwriter David S. Goyer. But now, after reading his original version of that film and now having watched this one- my faith has been restored. Anyone else would have given us a very standard, rehashed sequel. Which makes me think he had this plot cooking even while he was writing the first Blade.Snipes borders on over the top in the lead role but he's obviously having so much fun it's hard not to get caught up in at all. I liked the Bloodpack and the father Vampire. The main reaper could have benefitted from a tad more fleshing out, though. As far the rest of that clan, I disagree with other reviewers who wanted more of them. I believe we saw just enough. Serious props for casting Norman Reedus as Scud. I love that guy.Blade II is a "slick" movie and if you're a fan of that style there's a lot to devour here. It seems to me the only ones who really don't care for it too much are die-hard fans of the original. Which I clearly was not. I think Blade II is more exciting, humorous, and visually heads and tails above the first one. Could have done without the CGI fighting but at the end of the day that's my only complaint- it ain't that bad. 8/10.I hope they can top themselves again with Blade III.
Good Sequel But Lacks The Style That Made the Original Great
posted on 24 Aug 2009blade 2 is a solid film, but lacks one thing that made the original so great, it's own style. blade 2 has taken on the much overly used matrix-est style. this film uses two many computer created shots. the first 20 min of this film is a mess its all over the place with blade killing hordes of vampires doing stunts that only a jedi could acomplish. also the fighting has way to many computer effects in it there is one scene that is about 1 1/2 mins long that has some of the worst effects i have ever seen with blade fighting someone and it is completely done with computers and they look like gumbly with there arms and legs streeching in all sorts of ways. other ten bad effects and rippied off style its a decent film.
sick movie
posted on 22 Aug 2009this movie was so sick (tight). There was great special effects and this movie had great imagination in it. I liked the ideas that the creators thought of. It also had great action and this movie was never boring and anybody who didnt like this doesnt like good movies
*** out of 5
posted on 14 Aug 2009I was first introduced to the characters of Blade and Whistler through a more recent Spiderman cartoon. So when a big screen rendition of the character was made I knew right away that I had to see it. It had non-stop action, just like the sequel. It had buckets of gore, just like the sequel (though not quite as extreme as one would have expected). It had a touch of witty, dark humour, just like the sequel. It ran to long, just like the sequel. It was a wild, entertaining, thrill-a-minute, roller coaster ride...this is where the comparison stops. The film starts off strong with an explosive action sequence that screams of the first Blade but then slowly looses itself it the stupidity of the story. This time around Blade must team up with his vampire enemies to take on a new breed of "super" vampire known as Reapers. The story is so dumb and such a far cry from the original that it will have you wondering when Steven Dorff will pop up and the real story will begin, but that doesn't happen so we are left with a story that drags on and doesn't possess one lick of logic. Wesley Snipes is again ultra cool and ultra stylized as our title character (the main reason to view the film). Kris Kristofferson is also back as Whistler but the absence of Steven Dorff as Deacon Frost takes a huge toll on the final product (maybe they should have resurrected Frost, that probably would have made more sense than this). With a change in director comes a change in style. Director Guillermo Del Toro seems more worried about how big and high tech he can make everything look than providing the sheer entertainment value of the original. He also relies to much on computer generated effects during fight scenes making the battles look more like watching a video game than an action flick at times. Don't get me wrong, Del Toror is a talented director. Some of his techniques could have worked wonders in the first film but he doesn't seem to realize that things need to be taken one step at a time and not just have everything thrown in a viewers face all at once3 and still expect them to have a good time. So in the end it was a fair attempt that is worth seeing for Snipes' super cool performance and the mind blowing intro but other than that, as a Blade fan I was expecting much more than I got.
Pure nonsense
posted on 08 Aug 2009Blade 2 is yet another Hollywood action-packed sequel that manages to both insult your intelligence and bore you to death at the same time. The good thing about Blade 2 is that it's not like other sequels made for money, it's actually not worse than its predecessor. It's just as bad. Realising that the movie doesn't quite try to depict reality in any way, it does have some insulting moments to the average human being that passed Physics class in high school. We are treated to several scenes that surely will go to the hall of fame of insulting science as we know it. As an example for the readers that haven't seen the film, in one particular shot the hero decides that the best way to deal with a horde of foes is to blow up an UV bomb. Unaware that such UV radiation would be deadly for any human being - I'm also aware that he's supposed to be half-human half-vampire but if the UV radiation doesn't affect him the same way it does the vampires then it must affect him like it does to humans! -, whoever decided this scene should be in this film also decides that UV radiation should travel in a purely fabricated way through tunnels and also that it wouldn't travel in water. Of course, one nonsense is not enough, and we're also treated to a couple of vampires spotting the light and managing to avoid being hit by the UV radiation by going underwater. Be aware that light travels at approximately three hundred thousand kilometres per second. Maybe it's the made-up material "nitro-vacuum", whose name doesn't even make sense. Blade 2 is cinematic disaster, a film to avoid at all costs. Watch it only if you manage to shut your brain off during the whole duration of the movie.
One of the most disappointing sequels of all time!
posted on 25 Jul 2009From the previews, BLADE II seemed like it would be just as good as the first BLADE movie, if not better. Sadly, BLADE II is another case where the theatrical trailer is superior to the movie itself. It is an extremely violent, dumb, and unpleasant film that has neither the originality or the style of the first film. One cannot totally blame screenwriter David S. Goyer. He thought of an interesting premise for the sequel. The blame must go to Guillermo del Torro, who insists on filling every second of the film with blood rather than story or characters. Thanks to del Torro's extreme love for the red stuff and nothing else, BLADE II stands as one of the most disappointing sequels of all time.
Daywalker and Vampires unite to fight a mutual threat.
posted on 15 Jul 2009A new strain of stronger, more virulent vampirism has developed and its carrier doesn't differentiate between human and vampire victims. The Vampire Nation offer Blade a truce and ask him to lead their Blood Pack (a group originally in training to hunt him) in a search and destroy mission.This film is dark, comedic, stylized action (based on the comic book of the same name), and has some nice character moments, especially as the line between enemy and friend becomes blurred between Blade and Nyssa (Leonor Varela), the leader of the Blood Pack and daughter of the Vampire overlord and Blade and his newly rescued/vampire detoxed mentor Whistler (Kris Kristofferson). Wesley Snipes, as Blade, has cool down to a science. Watching his fight scenes is like watching music in motion. Luke Goss, who plays the threat and new strain of vampirism, a Reaper, although looked and dressed like hell, carried himself with aristocratic elegance. Ron Perlman "sucks" in the best possible way as the vampire Reinhardt. He's a nice mix of blood stopping toughness, undead cool and black humor (a vampire who chews gum? And blows bubbles during an autopsy? Thankfully it wasn't his own). Definitely a buy.
It was great

SEE THIS MOVIE!!!
The best comic book movie i have ever seen
posted on 11 Jul 2009There are two types of sequels it seems: ones that, to put it lightly, aren't all that good and ones that surpass the original (like Terminator II and the Empire Strikes Back). Thankfully, Blade 2 happens to fall in the second category. This is, quite frankly, the best comic book movie I have ever seen mainly because the people who made it knew exactly what they were making. It is true that the plot is not all that much but it is full of enough twists and turns and blood (gallons and gallons of it) and guts to keep us interested. Anyways, compared to the crap we've been getting lately, crap that's even gone as far as to win Oscars (Gladiator anybody?), this is Shakespeare. I mean, I even found one of the last scenes rather genuinely beautiful and tragic (I'm not kidding, please don't throw tomatoes at me 'cause I'm over-sentimental). But anyways, for people who want to see a really gory, action packed movie that's actually good well you really can't go wrong with Blade 2. In fact I think it is the only gory, action packed movie that's actually good I've seen in quite a while.
Wesley Snipes whups Vampire butt like there's no tomorrow
posted on 07 Jul 2009Wesley Snipes proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he is the leading action star in Hollywood - he kicks butt with an aplomb and relish that surpasses Blade and fulfills the glimmer of action-talent witnessed in the otherwise unspeakable Demolition Man.The styling, the atmospherics and the effects are all top-notch - I agree that the only weak part in terms of effects is when Blade and his enemies are fully CGI rendered. The storyline - well heck it's good enough. I wasn't looking for total plausibility but I was looking for something that took the original Blade story further and still upped the ante in terms of action - this did it.Luke Goss should also deserve a mention - for doing a solidly good job as the uber-Reaper, especially considering anyone aware of Bros probably wondered what the hell he was doing in this film. I only have one worry - for Blade III to have even more action will require one non-stop hour and half of ass-whupping....hey it may work!
"Blade II" * * * *
posted on 05 Jul 2009"Blade II" is a superior continuation to the 1998 hit that reunites Wesley Snipes as the dark comic book superhero who continues his spree of taking on vampires.The first "Blade" was one hell of a film and this one is even better.The sequel is directed by Guilermo Del Toro and centers on Blade teaming up with a group of vampires to destroy a race of mutant vampires which are indestructible against Blade's weaponry.Del Toro takes "Blade II" to a higher exciting action level and Wesley Snipes is fiercely entertaining and gives the audience what they paid for.The martial arts sequences were cheorographed by Donnie Yen who also plays one of the vampires who is a member of Blade's team.I have this film twice already and I plan on seeing it again and again.I would highly recommend this film if you are really into films like this.
Sure, it's better than its predecessor!
posted on 01 Jul 2009Have a flaming flair for non-stop action, gore, and those blood-sucking, fang-teethed humans? Then this flick is definitely for you! Just listen to the silence, with the occasional scream during the screening, and the loud applause at the end, and you'd be wondering how people could possibly dislike this movie! Wesley Snipes… gosh, I do like this guy, not only because he's never afraid to take on roles for lessening racially romantic barriers! He is charismatic, even while flexing his muscles!Hey, I don't know what to think of our new Blade's wisdom! Our hero, ganging up with those Shadow-of-Nation vampires? Got to be kidding! I just rented and saw the predecessor! I wonder whether he's now having a problem with his testosterone-overflow, and Nyssa is the cause of his slacking sapience! (Hey, didn't Cleopatra make Caesar a wimp?)And society's new threat? Rippers? Nope, not some hooded descendants of Jack the Ripper, or of old Nosterafu… unless our genome-dealing organizations are keeping some dark secret from us! Oh well, who cares as long as this flick projects the `good vs. evil' theme of the comics well on to the big screen. And it does! Who says it's never difficult to distinguish the good guys from the baddies? Gosh, I love the stunts; I love the fast actions… thanks to Hong Kong for whetting our appetites for martial arts! Yep, the actions are mesmerizing! Yep, the takes are as exciting as when Ellen Ripley's deadly encounter with the alien species!Overall, the film's character development is mediocre. But as a quixotic action actor, Snipes is phenomenal! Love his indestructible character! Kris Kristofferson's Whistler is very lame… not much credibility! And Scud, gosh, he is rather predictable! Yet, there's a definite sense and purpose for every character's presence! Unfortunately, there're too many subplots dumped into the main plot, thus weakening the character development. And the one-liners appear as scatter-brained material to hold strong for worthwhile memorizing! Hello, Coen Brothers, where are you in the development of the script's dialogue? But I DO LIKE the cinematic effects and the creative composite of horrific creatures (truthfully, better than what LOTR has provided!) Whoa, I was jitter-bugging in my seat, and literally playing hide-seek with the screen! Can't say I wasn't enticed with this film! And the hip-hop soundtrack… far too loud and sometimes incoherent – definitely prevents the feel of horror and schlock in various scenes!Go see this flick if you're an action-horror film freak! Rest assured, you won't need a partner to put you in a jitter-bugging mood, throughout this flick! Thumbs up for Guillermo Del Toro (heard he's not e'en a distant cousin to Benicio!) After this flick, and The Devil's Backbone, he sure is my sort of Director… one who knows how to thrill and scare me! A solid rating of A- from me… and I definitely will encourage my young buddies to keep away from this flick! Not unless, they enjoy having nightmares!
Interesting Premise
posted on 29 Jun 2009Blade II succeeds in not retreading with the original Blade film by developing the premise of Blade joining forces with his enemy, the vampires, to face an even greater threat. I don't think the filmmakers fully exploited this concept, and fell into the rut of typical filmmaking anyway.
At least it has the premise. Possible Spoilers below: One of my gripes with any sequel continuation is the episodal nature of the films. Most TV episodes begin and end with nothing really changing--you still have the same characters in a similar position, and every now and then the show gets ambitious and changes their relation to each other. Only when an actor leaves does something dramatic happen. Same can be said of film sequels, and if they do try to do something dramatic within the film they find a way to hit the reset button.Look at the Batman films--Kim Basinger's role could have been reprised, but no. Michelle Pfiefer, Nicole Kidman, same story. Batman, the character, and his relations to everyone around him never really change throughout the films. In Batman & Robin the butler may die--yeah right, like any writer has the balls to make a permanent change to the existing Batman world on celluloid. By the end of the film, everything is pretty much the same except for the inevitable team up of Robin and Batgirl. The comics have more ambition than the films--at least they had the guts to originally add those characters. That's not to say the comics can let a character stay dead . . . In Blade, Whistler dies. In Blade II, they bring him right back. It'd be nice if in life we could just push a reset button and have things fixed like that. In this one, Blade starts to develop a sympathy for a certain vampiric vixon, but what happens? She wasn't around at the beginning of the film, so consider her already gone. Blade's new assistant, what's his name?
Is he part of the typical Blade world? No. Guess who he's really working for? Blade II has a writer who's too timid around the character to properly explore Blade enough to make permanent changes to his environment. As a result, you can predict this entire freakin' film based on the Blade character. You don't even have to see any of the film's footage to predict who dies and lives. It wouldn't be so bad, but every film with this nature is -exactly- the same way. So, why exactly are we going to see a film set where nothing really happens across all of its sequels?Blade II ruins Whistler's death scene, it doesn't pack the punch it should because "oh, he comes back." The people who whined that he died in Blade 1 can watch the part of the film where he's alive, or maybe read the same comic books over and over. Why spend money on something new when there's nothing really new in it? I don't get that. I want to see a sequel who is bold enough to actually make changes to the Blade concept, to the characters, introduce new characters and keep them or kill them off and leave them buried. I'd be very pleasantly shocked to see someone make a film ballsy enough to kill off Blade in the end, as much as I like the character--I'm so itching for some one to do something dramatic with a franchise like this, I would welcome that. But hey, that's not going to happen. Too many people would whine because someone has more ambition than they do. Other things that annoyed me with this film--the villains all looked alike.
Not one of the film's many villains had the flair and personality of Frost from the first film, which was disappointing.
Worst film of '02
posted on 25 Jun 2009After the excellent first movie I was looking forward to this one. However the whole project was a disappointment.The plot was uninspiring; there's so much potential to develop stories and ideas in the universe that Blade inhabits, yet they come out with this rubbish. The Blade character has no development or depth; the fight sequences are repetitious and boring, and the CGI special effects are very ropey indeed.Any positive aspects to the film? The Whistler character seems to me to be the more interesting... I think I'll just stick to the first film.
Great action, horrible effects
posted on 19 Jun 2009The first blade had no computer generated fight scenes. Why did this one need them? To be bigger and better then the first? Other then two sections with horrible effects, the movie was very entertaining. Any action fan will enjoy the fight scenes which don't use an excess of wires. The new director is much darker, and makes the vampire world very brooding.*** out of ***** for action fans. The effects knocked it down from 4.
Good...but the Original was better
posted on 19 Jun 2009The Original Blade was by far better than Blade II. Still, Blade II had good action, great acting, and well-thought out plot & script. I would recommend it, but I would recommend the Original Instead.9 out of 10Another Good Vampire Movie is "Vampire Journals"
Only surpassed in gore by the Alien movies
posted on 30 Aug 2009Extreme gorefest! There was some great emotion when that chick was going to die so Blade let her drink his own blood. I almost cried. It was sweet when Blade kicked all those guards butts. How convenient to have a nice pool of blood to bath in when you are mortally wounded! Then he caught his sunglasses. that was sweet. I wish i could do that. This movie has some crazy death metal music that plays in the background like Let The Bodies Hit The Floor by Drowning Pool. This movie has nonstop action. If this movie doesn't have enough action for you, you should be slapped. This is a great movie. Go see it now. And don't bring your children cuz they will surely pee themselves.
