Review of Blade 2 (DVD)

Blade 2 is a great movie and quite possibly the best in the trilogy. The movie has some amazing fight scenes, and I prefer the soundtrack in blade 2 to those of the other two Blade movies Blade and Blade Trinity. In this new campaign against the vampire race the rules will change. Blade who is now supported by Scud a bit of a stoner and also a wiz with electronics. Whistler could be out there somewhere, but maybe it’s too late for Blade to save ...
...it portrays just how close Blade is to Whistler, he is the only person Blade will seriously trust and listen to under any circumstance. Anyway the focus of the story in Blade 2 is on a new creature of the night, stronger, faster, better in every way then the vampire and what’s more these new reapers feed off vampires instead of humans. I found this a great twist in the storyline which ultimately forces Blade and the vampires to form an uneasy alliance ...

Review of Blade 2 (DVD)

...When I first saw Blade at the cinema I wasn’t impressed. I’m not too keen on the idea of modernising the old vampire myths and you don’t get much more modernising than a half-human/half-vampire ‘daywalker’ kicking Vampire butt in modern day America with martial arts skills and a variety of weaponry! Subsequent watches drew me in to what is basically a comic book action movie with loads of action, some supremely camp moments and of course Wesley Snipes ...
...enemy and vampire killer extraordinaire Blade and offer a bizarre union anyway. The vampires have a deal, join with a specially trained team of vampires known as the Bloodpack to kill these creatures before its is too late, or watch the world be overrun by them. Tough choice, made tougher by the fact that the Bloodpack have been in training for two years with for one purpose alone - to kill Blade and they aren't too happy about working with him either! ...

Review of Blade 2 (DVD)

I had been waiting for Blade 2, I really enjoyed the first one so when it came out on Good Friday I went to see it. I wasn’t sure what to expect, I didn’t want it to be really rubbish like some sequels are but to my satisfaction I was wrong. The film was as good and Blade. Don’t worry if you have not seen Blade as you can still watch this film and understand it fully, as it starts off with Blade explaining how Blade finished, he ...
...he thirst for blood. Blade is the one to call if you ever see a vampire, he is out to kill them all as they turned his mother just before he was born and in the first Blade this is explained although you don’t really need this information to see Blade 2. ******* Whistler ******* Blade sees him as a father figure; he has helped Blade keep on track, as he is a vampire hunter like Blade. He took Blade in when his mother died and helped him ...

...but one). If the original Blade wowed you, forget it. Blade’s first outing was Pepsi, this is Coke with a large splash of bourbon and a hint of spittle that the bartender used to 'clean' the glass with. Dirty. ***THE MYTHOS*** Blade is “The Daywalker”, a vampire-human hybrid, with the strength and speed of a blood-sucker, but invulnerable to sunlight (hence the moniker) and silver. He stays alive through a series of serum injections ...
...Two years have passed since Blade managed to quip his way through an army of vamps intent on bringing about a vampire apocalypse. Ever since then he’s been searching for his good buddy Whistler, who has vamped out, and is being kept alive and tortured by a group of East European vampires. One trouncing later and the old pair are reunited, though Whistler is less than chuffed with Blade’s new assistant, stoner/rocker Scud. Before long, ...

Review of Blade 2 (DVD)

...I am big fan of Blade (I mean enthusiastic, not fat). I enjoyed the first movie, it rocked, and coming out nearly 12 months before the far more sophisticated ‘Matrix’ I was surprised how similar the feel of both films were (though both were pulling their ideas from cartoon art, Blade from Marvel comics, Matrix from a Manga influence). When I heard a second film was coming out I was a little worried and excited, I always dread a sequel (or a Segal ...
...as I have the other Blade on DVD I would like Blade 2 on DVD to, ‘Dear Santa, please may I have…..’ and I did, but was I disappointed, you’ll have to wait till the end. If you’re planning to see the movie and prefer to know what I thought, but nothing else skip to ‘Action’ further down, nothing after that will give anything away. If you do read on, I have ‘altered’ a few minor things to give nothing away. ~//:::::::::::::::::\\~ The Clot (Plot, ...

Review of Blade 2 (DVD)

Blade has to be one of my favourite movies of the last five years. The first film was fresh, innovative and stylish and worked extremely well. Such was my enjoyment of the first film that a mixture of excitement and trepidation greeted news of a sequel. It’s a bit like going on a second date – you want more of the same, but you don’t want to spoil the excitement of the first one. Blade 2 was released on video and DVD for rental ...
...is? Reluctant disappointment. Blade 2 carries on where the last movie left off. A brief narrative at the start of the film reminds us that during the first movie, Blade’s assistant, Whistler was infected with a vampire bite. It transpires that ever since, the vampires have been keeping Whistler alive, in order to taunt and eventually trap Blade. Whereas Whistler was once Blade’s companion, he has now become his prey, and Blade spends ...

Review of Blade 2 (DVD)

...the latest Wesley Snipes movie, Blade 2. The movie picks up where Blade finished in 1998. I have to say that I was eagerly awaiting the sequel as the first movie really did it for me. I love vampire movies and have been into them since watching the old Hammer House of Horror flicks on TV. Now lets get a few things straight before we continue. This is an action movie about a vampire hunter. Are we all listening? An action movie about a vampire hunter. ...
...to dispatch this particular bloodsucker. Blade is half vampire and half human. This came about by his mother being bitten by a vampire when she was pregnant. Did I mention that vampires exist? Well they do and they will bite you if you are foolish enough to stray down those smog filled alleys that always show up in these movies or go to dance clubs in old warehouse complexes where lets face it, vampires hang out and feed on clubbers. Well they do ...

Review of Blade 2 (DVD)

Blade 2 starts where Blade finished(maybe because it's a sequel?!). This is primarily an action film revolving around Blade the half human-half vampire vampire hunter. Expect to be dazzled by the fantastic special effects and fight sequences. Don't expect lots of(or any!)intelligent dialogues. Don't get me wrong I really enjoyed the film, I had a fun two hours watching my friend squirm and cover her eyes. I noticed I was the only one munching on ...
...before Blade is half vampire and half human. This occured by his mother being bitten by a vampire when she was pregnant. Blade’s mother dies in childbirth and he is adopted by Whistler(played by Kris Kristofferson). I can't help but feel they could have picked someone with a better screen presence then Kristofferson. Anyway Whistler teaches Blade to control the dark side- the thirst. He's kind of like Blade's godfather. Blade is as strong as ...

Review of Blade 2 (DVD)

...first, let alone bettering it. Blade II wins thumbs up on all aspects on the original, and that was a great film in its own right. A new breed of vampires is on the loose. Known as The Reapers, this breed is like no other vampire. They do not bite you softly softly, and then you get turned into a vampire yourself. No! They’re much nicer than that. They simply suck the blood supply out of you, leave you fully drained, and move on to the next ...
...warriors, originally trained to hunt Blade and kill him, is now prepared to be lead by Blade to hunt down and kill The Reapers, and more importantly their leader before their own nation is made extinct by the new super blood suckers. Blade is miraculously reunited with his sidekick in the original film, Whistler (Kris Kristofferson), who was supposed dead at the end of the first film. Whistler had been partially transformed into a vampire and left ...

They threaten to spread like a virus ultimately threatening the existence of man-kind so Blade reluctantly agrees to lead a motley bunch of Vampire hard nuts, The Bloodgang. They had originally been trained to take-out Blade so you can imagine there are a few tensions within the group dynamic. And ...
...the Reapers and their leader, Nomak. Cue lots of fighting and things not being quite what they first appear. Now I’ve got to admit, I didn’t hate the movie, I did kinda get a few aimless thrills from it, enough to give it three stars. But compared to the original (heck even judged as a stand alone product) it does disappoint a little. I guess it’s biggest problem is the whole look and execution of the movie. The original gave a ...

Review of Blade 2 (DVD)

Ooooh, so exciting.. Blade was one of the greatest action films of all time when it was originally released back in 1998, and today it still remains my favourite film. So, can Blade 2, the sequel, deliver a film as fast and frantic as the original? Read on to find out…. Blade, played by Wesley Snipes, is actually based on a character from Marvel Comics, which has been turned into two feature length movies. Just in case you are reading this ...
...of the original first. Blade has a dark past. When his mother was pregnant with him, a vampire bit her, and as a result, Blade was born half human, half vampire. He is able to walk by day, stalk by night. He has all of the strengths of the vampires, yet shares none of their weaknesses. Together with his partner Whistler (Kris Kristofferson), their aim is to rid the world of vampires before it is too late. As you can probably guess, Blade is battling ...

Review of Blade 2 (DVD)

I loved the first Blade – blood, guts, great effects, fantastic fight scenes, so couldn’t wait to see Blade 2 – blood, guts, fantastic fight scenes. The same, yet so different. As a kid, I was a bit obsessed with vampires (and gangsters, but I’ll leave that for the Godfather op!) – I used to go to sleep with my arms crossed over my body, and the duvet pulled over my neck. My mum drew the line at garlic though! So, I ...
...but I think that Blade and Blade 2 have the edge. Obviously, films like this are an acquired taste – if you like action, great effects, quite a bit of gore and an extremely cool hero, then this is for you. I don’t want to spoil the film for you, or bore you rigid, so I’ll give a brief summary of the plot. PLOT  For those of you who don’t know, Blade is a ‘Day Walker’ – he is half man/half ...

...big fan of the first Blade film and quite partial to vampires (don’t ask) seeing the sequel was vital. Unfortunately I don’t think it was nearly half as good as the first one. This time Blade is trying to kill off a breed of vampires Called the Reapers. These vampires are an improved breed who cannot be killed with silver or garlic. They can still be killed by daylight though! Reapers feed from other vampires who (if they are lucky enough ...
...If you liked the first Blade you will enjoy the second one. It isn’t as good but still enjoyable and although there are lots of fighting scenes there’s still a storyline in there. They could have made the storyline stronger and put less fighting in the film which would have made it much better but it’s still enjoyable. ...
