Message: <blockquote data-quote="RogueJK" data-source="post: 116277" data-attributes="member: 170">I went to the theater with some friends to see Resident Evil.  When we got there, we decided to see Blade 2 instead.  I'm regretting that now.  We'll be going back soon to see R. E., like we should have done yesterday.From a purely "action movie" P.O.V., Blade 2 wasn't that bad.  It had some good fights, and it had enough humor to make it amusing.  However, if you go in expecting a vampire movie, like I did, you will be sorely disappointed.I agree that the plot had many inconsistencies and holes.  Also, some of the effects are very clearly CGI.  The battle in front of the lights is the worst.  The characters are so obviously computer-generated that it makes it just laughable.  Other movies have gotten away with doing lots of CGI scenes, since they worked hard to make them seem real.  The artists for Blade 2 didn't, it seems.After discussing it with my friends, we decided that the plot of Blade 2 would have made a good episode for some sort of sci-fi TV show, but it certainly didn't fit with the style of the first Blade film.  Call me a old-fashioned, but I prefer the classic vampire.  Stakes, crosses, sunlight, blood drinking, fangs, etc.  The new type of vampires didn't seem like vampires at all.  They reminded me of any number of "bogeyman" monsters from various science fiction movies, but certainly not vampires (other than their clearly Nosferatu-esque appearance and aversion to sunlight).  The whole dissection scene reminded me more of "Alien" than "Dracula".I was hoping for a good vampire movie, since not many have come out recently.  Unfortunately, it seems I'll have to keep waiting. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /> On a scale of 1-10, I'd give it about a 4 or 5.  It's certainly not the worst movie that I've ever seen, and it was, at least, not a bad way to waste a few hours.</blockquote>
