Most Fun I've Had Watching A Movie

-Once in a while you just need to sit back and watch a movie that's pure entertainment and just fun to watch. Blade 2 has to the best example of a movie like that Has a great story that's both simple and full of twists and great lines, and some of the best action sequences to date. it may not be a masterpiece like "Spider-Man 2" or "X2" when it comes to comic book flicks but it comes really close to and it's a lot more fun to watch

-The movie begins with us being introduced to the main baddie called Nomak. He's a super vampire that feeds on other vampires and lets us know just how much he hates them by killing 3 in the opening sequence. And this is basically what the movie is about, the vampires are being killed by these super vampires now they need Blade's help to take them out. Blade agrees and teams with a group of hard asses called "The Blood Pack" to take them down. There's wonderful scene in which they all enter a club where the reapers are hiding, and as they enter the club they all walk in slow motion whiles a great music is played. It's so cool the way the waltz in there that's it insane.

-Wesley Snipes returns in the role he was born to play as the vampire hunter Blade. When we first meet him he's going after a group of vampires that have kidnapped Whistler whose played by Kris Kristofferson. He finds and cures him but there's a problem, Blade has a new sidekick and Whistler isn't happy with the new sidekick which creates for a great moment when the 2 trade insults like horny girls over a guy. there are other new characters but to reveal their purpose will spoil this wonderful movie. The first "Blade" was a pretty bad movie and much like "Harry Potter 3" and "The Two Towers" I went in expecting a crappy sequel but I was blown away

-Director Guillermo Del Toro is a great addition to this movie. His brand of horror and sense of humor is apparent in this movie. I've become a fan just by watching his work on this movie. This is a highly entertaining movie with great action, great sense of humor and a wonderful story not the best superhero movie but definitely my favorite
