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.

Theres a bloke from Bros in it? God no.
I want Snipes killing vampires with Kung-Fu and swords.
I want Kris Kristofferson killing vampires with swords.
I want that bloke from Bros to be killed with a sword.
Repeatedly.
If I get those things, I will like it.

What did you expect from a film about vampires and killing and stuff? Citizen Kane?

Meh, I liked Blade, so I think I'll still go to see this one. But I won't expect much. Didn't anyway really, it's a sequel.
