"Blade 2 - Mixed Opinions"

So I went out last night. You know that place, trees, cars, sunlight. I went to the cinema to be precise...well, what else could I do after sitting indoors all day than go and sit in an even darker room? I'll cut straight to the chase here - I saw Blade 2 and it was crap. Every single fight scene had elements nicked from other movies and none of it was original. Then the film went right up it's own thrift tunnel, by explaining everything in long scientific terms and patronising the audience by endlessly explaining over and over again.

But, when I got out the cinema - "That was wicked...he killed...everyone!". OK, so one person thought it was good (he shall remain nameless). I asked my beatch - "Yeah, it was cool. I liked it.". Gah!! 2 against 1! Luckily I overheard someone else coming out the cinema say it was crap and immediately adopted him for my crack 'Blade 2 dislike' squad.

So it was a mixed bag of Blade 2 sized onions.

For me the film was formulaic, unoriginal and patronising. It would have been one of those dumb 'oh he killed everyone with a toothpick' movies, where the audience cheers and whoops at the end, but it was trying to be too clever and I wasn't fooled. Wesley Snipes sucks balls as a superhero too. Every movement he makes has to be sudden and heroic. "I'm just going to the toilet" *swish of cape followed by double somersault onto the seat*. It was annoying.

They had to bring that hillbilly back into it too. Surely a 60/70ish year old man taking a pounding like that would have dead long ago - but nooooooooo. Where would the plot be then? I haven't really got a good thing to say about this film - there's nothing that wasn't in the first (which I didn't really like that much). If you want some proper martial arts action, with a twist of excitement, go and get Crouching Tiger Hidden Wotsit - that film rocks all films.

In a movie about Vampires.
Yeah, that's gotta suck

He was meant to have been made into a vampire and kept in stasis, but somehow he got cured!? Don't ask me - it was full of plot holes and inaccuracies.

Thats a damn good point, actually. How? For the love of God, HOW?

some one please explain to me how whistler survived after shooting himself.

Actually... doest the original (Marvel Comics) Blade go around killing vampires with a sword? (which kinda resembles a lightsabre, but we'll forget that for the while)...

He also rideas around on a motorbike, which everyone insists in calling a 'chopper'?

I think thats right? ... Its been a fair few years now since I picked up a comoic book... Even omre since it was a Marvel one and my memory has been known to play tricks???

Damn straight it does. Shallow films rule.

I want Stephen Dorff back. I want that guy whos aleways getting his hand chopped off.

Is there titty?

And does Steven Dorf pop back and be really, really rubbish as a villain?
I liked Blade and just want more swords and naked vampire chicks.

Does this make me shallow?

Good. I liked Blade 1. And if it's Blade 1 + Kat + dead Bros guy then I'll be happy.

And the bloke who played 'Kat' in Red Dwarf!

The thing about Blade 2, was that it was Blade 1 in disguise.

Luke Goss plays one of the main bad vampires.

I want to see him sliced in half and fed to Kris Kristofferson.
