"Blade II": Classic or Dud?

The question really is, does Kris Kristofferson's hair look even more like a tangled overthrown thatch of bracken?

I cannot really give a cogent analysis of this movie because it hit pretty much every, "Oh how NEAT!" button for me. The vampire war = BEYOND KEWL. The new generation vampires are UTTER BASTARDS. The fight scenes were OHMOMMYITSMYFAVE good. Wesley Snipes kicks severe ass. Also, there was another EXCELLENT NIGHT CLUB SCENE in it, only I can't remember the song they used for it. Plus, the main track that gets played in the movie is a collaboration between Mos Def and Massive Attack, which means I am required to love the movie or risk uspetting the fundamental rules that describe our reality.

If nowt else, I applaud your bravery in standing up to be counted;>

It was very pulpy, the kind of gory afternoon horror flick that used to get played on television on Sundays. Silly fun...

I can get with vamp kitsch, but I just can't buy Wesley Snipes as a denizen of the dark....

That said, I admit to still watching "Buffy";>

Something I recently learned which explains why Wesley Snipes is such a bad-ass in this movie is that he's a multiple-degree black belt in several forms of martial arts. This explains why I thought his stunt double was so good; most of the time it actually was him. Oh, and I love the soundtrack more and more every day, even that fucking awful Eve/Fatboy Slim track is actually great.

Check this interview with Roshumba Williams of Entertainment Tonight. To quote Wesley himself, he did not "fake the funk".

Coolest fact: Snipes has a black belt in capoeira!

Saw it Sunday by the way. It was fun in a very stupid way - the OTT wrestling bit at the end between Goss and Snipes was very funny. Snipes may be a martial artist of repute but how would he fare on Smackdown eh? Prague location was good, mixed mythos was less good. (of all the thinks that can kill them, light seems particularly wussy). Still Perlman is always worth a bang for your buck - though I wanted to give grumpy old "back from the dead plot device" KRistofferson a slap round the chops.

Spending my American holiday wknd watching Blade II for the first time ever.

I'm enjoying this, but Lord Almighty did the aesthetic choices made by the Matrix films taint all western action movies for too many years.

Still, Norman Reedus as 20something scrubby tech dude is in this, and introduced exactly like the mechanic from Road Warrior! The Head Vampire Lord is Voldemort/ST:TNG alien/Tom Hardy in "ST: Nemesis"!

Also the scene where they load up to investigate the sewer level and it's all lit light is straight outta Aliens

All lit with blue light, rather
