Blade 2 takes what works in the original and gives us more. Unfortunately, plot and character development appear to have been left on the cutting room floor. this is a deleted scene from blade 2 which i wished they kept in would of shown us how him and whistler first met and would of given us more back-story and development of the blade character
Stephen Norrington turned down the chance to direct as he wanted to move onto other things.
David S. Goyer's original idea was to use Morbius as a primary villain, but Marvel decided they wanted to retain the rights to make an entirely separate franchise out of Morbius - i.e. a Morbius film, so the story was changed slightly and Jared Nomak was created to be used as the primary villain instead.
reviews positives
Popcorn nonsense for sure, but shot with a wit, skill and understanding of its audience all too rarely seen in the genre.
Benefits greatly from the presence of Mexican horror maestro director Guillermo del Toro, delivering action, blood, gore and guts in crowd-pleasing fashion.
Even when it drags, we are forced to reflect that its visual imagination is breathtaking
The fast-paced action is unnervingly fast, almost dizzying. The story is thin, the plot is predictable, but Wesley Snipes carries this comic book character off with enough clever humor and self-indulgent pathos to carry it off.
The addition of just enough original ideas, has been, and hopefully will remain the key to keeping the franchise fresh, original and exciting.
Blade II merges bits and pieces from fighting games, wire fu, horror movies, mystery, James Bond, wrestling, sci-fi and anime into one big bloody stew.
Vampire epic succeeds as spooky action-packed trash of the highest order.
An unexpectedly ambitious vampire movie, armed with a bigger budget, a better script, a truly epic plot and a director with artistic sensibilities of his own.
I'm becoming convinced that Wesley Snipes IS Blade.
Guillermo del Toro brings a carefully crafted style to Blade 2 that elevates it beyond most other films of its kind.
As overt and metaphorical as the film's race politics are, they remain complex.
While the film has its drawbacks, such as big plot holes, too much gore, and no character development, it delivers what films like this are supposed to.
The sequel is interesting enough to recommend for science fiction fans that are familiar with the Marvel Comics character.
