movie review - Blade II

Blade II feels quite a bit like an unintended sequel, picking up the two central characters in very different positions from where we last saw them. The human/vampire cross-breed is still doing his thing, slaughtering vampires because. He's manipulated into attempting to stop a super-species of vampires, working for the vampire nation.
This thing is right on the edge of the line into B-movie territory. It's over-the-top, it indulges in betrayal, and it makes sense only when maximizing one's suspension of disbelief. One the whole, it's fun and a worthy successor of the first.
