Amazon.co.uk Review

Aptly described by critic Roger Ebert as "a vomitorium of viscera", Blade II takes the express route to sequel success. So if you enjoyed Blade, you'll probably drool over this monster mash, which is anything but boring. Set (and filmed) in Prague, the plot finds a new crop of "Reaper" vampires threatening to implement a viral breeding program, and they're nearly impervious to attacks by Blade (Wesley Snipes), his now-revived mentor Whistler (Kris Kristofferson), and a small army of "normal" vampires who routinely combust in a constant conflagration of spectacular special effects. It's up to Blade to conquer the über-vamps, and both Snipes and director Guillermo del Toro (Mimic) serve up a nonstop smorgasbord of intensely choreographed action, creepy makeup, and graphic ultra-violence, with the ever-imposing Ron Perlman as a vampire villain. It's sadistic, juvenile, numbing, and--for those who dig this kind of thing--undeniably impressive. --Jeff Shannon

3.0 out of 5 stars Better than it first seems, 4 Sep 2002

By A Customer

The first Blade film struck a fine balance between action, atmosphere, story, and characterisation. This sequel has boldly minimalised the latter aspects and gone for action instead. You might think this is a very bad idea, but astonishingly director Del Toro has created a seethingly dark action film.

Blade's character held misgivings towards his past in the first film, which gave him depth and an interesting shade of confusion. In the second film he has moved on from that, and has shrugged off his stone-face for a "come get some" attitude instead. He enjoys the sheer pleasure of taking out 'bad guys', and the fight sequences are wonderfully raw compared to the polished sequences of the first film. David Goyer's script-writing would be the film's biggest drawback, as Blade's opening narrative tries to be hard but comes off as a little silly. Other lines are infuriatingly bad like "We come offering a truce from the vampire world."

In spite of this, however, Del Toro has created a fine action film. He's shot Blade 2 with skill, knowledge, and an understanding of the film that you just don't see in action cinema these days. Everything else takes itself too seriously or is simply lazy in its own evolution (with the exception of The Matrix).

Fans of the first Blade film will be disappointed if they are looking for more of the same, but adrenaline seekers will go away on a blood-thirsty high.

4.0 out of 5 stars More action, less plot, 27 Aug 2002

By	Mr. M. L. Smallman "marcus4zero" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Blade 2 ups the action-quotient, body count and gore to provide a more violent, if slightly inferior, sequel.
The first thing that strikes you about Blade 2 is that it is very much designed to inform people who have not seen Blade what everything is, through a series of flashbacks and direct information. This can get a bit annoying if you have seen Blade, but it serves to jog the memory and isn't at all a bad thing when viewed retrospectively.
Blade 2 suffers mainly when it comes to continuity and plot. Many aspects of the first film have been either altered or left out (most notably the ommision of ANY references to Dr Karen Jensen) and the plot is weak when you consider it(although this does not make for a bad film).
However this aside Blade 2 is an intensely enjoyable and watchable experiance and Snipes and Kristofferson reprise their roles well, with solid performances from the British Danny-John-Jules (more commonly known as Cat in Red Dwarf) establishing his ability to act in a serious role in the big-time, and Luke Goss (formerly of Bros).
Blade 2 does not take itself as seriously as Blade which, in the end, saves it from failing as an action film by having any great tale of morality and instead concentrates on the superbly coreographed action sequences. The one-liners still come thick and fast and the film is very tounge-in-cheek in places. If you watched and enjoyed Blade then get this film and even if you didnt then still give it a shot, even if its only for the superb one-liners and action.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blade II, 16 May 2004

By	Al "Kapalina" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

The sequel to the underachieving Blade. Snipes is back again as Blade but this time there is a more fearsome enemy to be afraid of. There is a vampire hybrid running loose who seem to be immune to silver and garlic and even a steak to the heart.
The Vampires have trained a team of Special Forces led by the vampire head's daughter Nyssa to try and befriend Blade to aid them in their struggle against this new enemy. Again there are good aspects of fighting and the story is well put across. However, this film is not quite as dark as its predecessor and does lack a little punch at times. Again this film was underachieving at the box office, i guess it's just not some people's cup of tea.
