SWEET F***ING CHRISTMAS!!!! This movie was very cool and very worth the money to see!!! In my opinion, it blew the first one away!!!

Sorry, that's been building ever since the movie ended. They could've ended this movie after the first 10 minutes and I would've been happy!!!

Great character designs too!

Sincerely,

I saw it yesterday afternoon - it was everything I had hoped for. Great action, badass characters (Ron Perlman rocks), cool set designs, and of course my favorite Daywalker, Blade. I own the first film on DVD, I like it - but this just completely blows it away. Guillermo del Toro is definately a man who knows how to direct good action sequences. Also, this one is much more comic book than the first, it doesn't try to ground itself in reality as much. Overall, it was a very enjoyable time at the moives. Bravo.

Yeah, I agree. It was very entertaining.

It was definitely a cool flick, but good god I am so tired of the insane cutfest that directors do with action scenes. He really killed what could have been some very cool shots. It's like every director feels that the only way to show a frenetic fight scene is to cut the shot like it was edited by a wolverine on speed.

Still, a really fun movie and Blade is one total bad a@*! He seemed to be having a lot more fun in this film and the interplay between him and Ron Perlman was great!

Good show old chap! I was thinking about putting a post on here about it but too lazy

Anyway, I couldn't get enough of this movie if I saw it hundred times! The soundtrack, specialfx, and choreography were amazing.

Not to mention I snuck in! woo hoo I am too damn good at that.

Was it as bloody and gruesome as the first?

The reaper that had his crotch ripped out made me yelp

Hmm, usually movies like that don't interest me but you people seemed to really think its good. I can only wonder what my reaction would be if I had the time/money to see it.

Its a fun, gory movie. It had some consistency problems, and the soundtrack and score were pathetic, but the fights were interesting enough to make it worth watching.

Brother loves his shades, and to that, I can relate.

I missed the first Blade, so I came into the theater with no expectations. It really rocked me! Plus, let me be the first to say that that vampire chick was totally hot (*considering getting the two dots tatooed above my eyebrows*). She would make an interesting piece of work. Westley Snipes isn't too bad himself (I do not mind that he had to take off his shirt a couple times).

The movie rocked and I just won a collectors item poster from a promotion they are doing. I wanted to get the glasses but someone got them before me

The soundtrack does kind of suck and theres one spot in the movie were the animations could have been redone but besides that i wasn't bored one minute.
