[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 116272, member: 2011"] Just saw Blade II last night. Was not impressed. Way, way too many very close-in shots during fast fight scenes. Too many discrepencies in power levels. How come some vampires can flip from spot to spot on the wall and others have to slowly climb ladders? They have an overnight cure for Whistler, but haven't used it on any other poor unfortunate humans that were ever infected. They take a bunch of different weapons in to attack the "super vampires", but for the most part, only try the bullets and silver until way late in the battle when they finally start using their UV. What DND player takes 4 different weapons into combat and only uses the first 2 and keeps using them, even though they are not working. And, although they shoot thousands of bullets in a crowded vampire nightclub, only about 6 vampire patrons die. Too much noticable CGI. Over and over again, one "super-vampire" is powerful enough to fight a regular vampire using weaponry, but four "super-vampires" cannot take out a single human cowering in a van, even after the human blows out one of the windows with a gun. A UV light bomb goes around corners in a maze-like tunnel system as if it was a fire bomb. The ally who turned on Blade at the end sounded so corny "Ha ha ha, I was a traitor the entire time. Fooled you." So when Blade only has a remote control device to blow up a bomb attached to one of the more powerful vampires (although they removed his weaponry, they did not remove the remote), he waits to use it to blow up the puny human. If that was your only weapon, would you use it to blow silver nitrate into the powerful vampire's head when you have no other weapons, or to blow the human to a million pieces whom you can rip to shreds with your bare hands? There were so many stupid and inconsistent elements to the movie that I cannot even remember them all. But, I do know that everyone with me was also "pushed back into the theater" many times. On a 1 to 10 rating, I give it about a 3. There were some good effects, but for the most part, the movie was lame. Not quite as bad as the 2 for DND the Movie, but fairly close. What is it with Hollywood? Don't they even watch these movies before they send them out to the public? This movie had so much potential and they flushed it down the drain. The plot and effects were fine for the most part. They just blew it with the inconsistencies and the poor photography. [/QUOTE]
