Blade II

Pros: Wesley Snipes, strong action sequences
Cons: Violence of film can be off-putting

The “Blade” series of comics and movies are a part of the host of stories that take vampire fiction in a direction filled with modern sensibilities. Blade (Wesley Snipes) is the son of a vampire and a human. Not only does he have the strength and need...

Pros: It ended
Cons: Even worse than I expected it to be

Blade 2 starts out with Blade (Wesley Snipes), hunting down a pack of vampires. Blade is half-human, half-vampire. As the movie explains, he has all of the strengths of a vampire, and none of their weaknesses. This basically means that...

Pros: Special effects; adrenaline pumping - techno music enhanced – well choreographed fight scenes
Cons: Plot holes; short on story line; what happened to Karen?

It’s very hard to review a sequel without making comparisons to the first movie. Where the original Blade earned its cult following with low budget genius, Blade 2 will appeal more to the mainstream masses, as it utilizes amazing effects, heart pumping...

Pros: First half of the movie
Cons: Last half of the movie

Ummm, why is this movie listed in Videos and DVDs???

Blade II just opened up in the theatres and earned over $33 million during its first weekend. This genre (action/horror) has been doing very well over the past couple of years, and people...

Pros: action was there, Kris Kristopherson was there, vampires were there
Cons: acting was horrendous, action wasn't that good, plot was uber formulaic

The genre of the comic book movie has always been a tough one to handle. There are certain aspects of plot and action that comic books can get away with but movies just have a tough time dealing with due to pesky little things like physics, dying actors...

Pros: Blood, guts, dark action sequences.
Cons: Loud.

In Blade (1998), Blade had to fight vampires because that’s what his life long mission and job was. And so, we got 90 minutes of cool action sequences, above average special effects, and a killer soundtrack. What we also got, was a setup for an...

Pros: Good fight choreography and effects
Cons: Direction, script, plot, characterization and acting

Good fight choreography and special effects, unencumbered by trivia like characterizations and plot * * * Blade: ...

Pros: The copious action sequences and overdone bloodletting.
Cons: See above.

"If you liked the first one, odds are you'll have a ball with Part 2." You'll hear this analysis rather often where several sequels are concerned, but it's never been more true than in the case of Blade 2. More of a less plot-heavy remake than an...

Pros:  Nice special effects, great pacing, great action.
Cons:  No deep physiological or deep cultural issues addressed.

  Blade II is an awesome action movie. It takes you not only into the world of Blade himself but you get to learn a lot more about the vampire nation itself. Some of their secret are revealed and you get to learn that not all vampires are the ...

Pros: The cinematography was nice.
Cons: Almost everything else

Hopefully, when you view this movie you won’t be near any sharp objects, lest you be tempted to slit your wrists.

When I first heard they were making a sequel to the original Blade, I expected very little. Well, my expectations far...

Pros: character development? in an action movie? who woulda thunk it?!
Cons: some of these "effects" aren't very "special"

In 1998, audiences were caught off-guard by the release of Blade. The film managed to gross over $70 million despite several factors that worked against its success: a lack of any substantial advertising campaign, a spring release (instead of...

Pros: Leonor Varela - who's your daddy?
Cons: Basically the ENTIRE movie from start to finish.

Since the creators of this film - if I can call Blade II a film - decided to try and give another reason why Jesus died in vain, I'm not going to write a serious review. Alright, one moment of seriousness, here it comes: Blade II sucked....

Pros: Nice special effects, awesome soundtrack.
Cons: The setting, acting, editing.

…you guessed it: I am not very fond of the most recent action flick that the evil Hollywood studios subjected us to, Blade 2. Don’t get me wrong, the movie is not a total disaster, and I am sure many people will enjoy it. However, the movie left me as...

Pros: Interesting vampires, vampires mocking Kris Kristofferson, good-looking fight scenes
Cons: Plot, too much gore for some people

Well, I liked the first part, and I also liked Blade II. People usually compare the sequel to the original, but I won't do that. I can't do that. I can say that I liked the original better, but it's just my taste -- the sequel is neither better...

Pros: I think there was one good part but I can't remember it now.
Cons: 15 words isn't enough to express what's so utterly wrong here.

Nobody expects anything out of sequels anymore, apparently not even the people who write them. See that picture of Wesley Snipes from the front cover of the movie? Get used to it. It's the whole movie.

So, I watched Blade II and now I am...
