Blade II

Blade II is a 2002 American superhero film based on the fictional character of the same name from Marvel Comics. It is the sequel to the first film and the second part of the Blade film series, followed by mh:awfulmovies:Blade: Trinity.

Plot
A rare mutation has occurred within the vampire community. The Reaper. A vampire so consumed with an insatiable bloodlust that they prey on vampires as well as humans, transforming victims who are unlucky enough to survive into Reapers themselves. Now their quickly expanding population threatens the existence of vampires, and soon there won't be enough humans in the world to satisfy their bloodlust. Blade, Whistler (Yes, he's back) and an armory expert named Scud are curiously summoned by the Shadow Council. The council reluctantly admits that they are in a dire situation and they require Blade's assistance. Blade then tenuously enters into an alliance with the Bloodpack, an elite team of vampires trained in all modes of combat to defeat the Reaper threat. Blade's team and the Bloodpack are the only line of defense which can prevent the Reaper population from wiping out the vampire and human populations.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Blade 2 refines most of the elements seen in the first Blade movie.
 * 2) Guillermo Del Toro is endlessly imaginative when it comes to creating new style, action and ideas for the vampire mythology.
 * 3) While the plot doesn't have much character development, it has just enough interesting twists to keep viewers interested.
 * 4) Ron Perlman was a standout in the entirety of the film.
 * 5) This film is a violent and action-filled journey made into a comic-book world and del Toro is not taking any prisoners.
 * 6) The movie is essentially a platform for Snipes to have fun with his most renowned character and he does so with very entertaining results.
 * 7) The movie has reasonably well-rounded characters, suspicion piled on top of everyone, some amazing set-pieces and a good sense of humor.
 * 8) The impact of all the blood and guts is reduced by the obvious fantasy of the fights (wires and SFX a lot of the time), but it's still pretty powerful and fun to watch.
 * 9) The Reapers have one of the most interesting vampire designs with their iconic split-mouth.
 * 10) The Bloodpack as been a fan favorite throughout the Blade franchise. Mainly how every member is unique as it was shown how they fight and what roles the have.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Plot hole: It's never explained how did Lighthammer managed to become a reaper in 24 hours while Priest was turned into a Reaper in 20 minutes and both of the were bitten at the same time.
 * 2) The sometimes shaky CGI-work.
 * 3) Some of the special effects look cheap to say the least, especially the use of digital "stand-ins" for the actors that are used in some action scenes to spice them up a bit.
 * 4) Some of the Bloodpack members don't have much of a role and some get wasted.
