Blade II


Released: 2002
Final Score: 12/32
Jeff's Score: 14/32

Blade forms an uneasy alliance with the vampire council in order to combat the Reaper vampires who feed on vampires.

What the Critics Said: Blade 2 takes what works in the original and gives us more. Unfortunately, plot and character development appear to have been left on the cutting room floor.

What I Said: This movie cries out for a director's extended cut, too much detail is left out pertaining to character motivation and choppy editing.

Blade II is a movie whose placement was consistent across critics (14/32), Audience (14/32) and myself (14/32) however the move falls a couple of spots due to the financials (6/32) as the movie cost almost double the first installment and sold a million fewer tickets.
