Blade II (2002)

Synopsis: Blade joins the vampires in a fight against a new breed of supervampires. 
Appraisal: This sequel suffers from a complete lack of sense of humor and also of anything remotely human with which the audience could relate. The fact that there is an audience (part of which is composed of critics, mind you) that indeed relates with it is sad evidence of its dehumanization. Shortly put, the film is a purely mechanical succession of fights, with an abusive display of strongly repulsive imagery, and an underlying plot that takes the concepts originated in the first "Blade" to a level of further detachment from the Universe in which sane people supposedly would live. Dear reader, give yourself a break and skip this bloody film. 
Rating: 18
