[QUOTE="Mortaneus, post: 116500, member: 485"] Comments: The Samurai guy was the guy from Iron Monkey, as well as being in Mortal Kombat 2. I went to see butt-kicking, and I got it. I'm happy. If you expect intense plot and acting, what are you doing going to see an ACTION movie? I think the Feng Shui game said it best in the GM section. Plots in an action flick are nothing more than a means of moving the main characters from one fight location to the next, and giving them a reason to go at it (not that it's really necessary under most circumstances). I liked the wildly panning camera on CGI figure scenes. Especially the one where he flipped and landed on the back of the bike. Finally Blade really USES some of that vaunted superhuman strength and agility. In the first movie, there were a few scenes that conveyed how powerful he was (snagging the train, leaping from the building). This movie, on the other hand, was chock full of them. I enjoyed that. Especially the bit where he bounded up into the rafters to catch those vamps by surprise. No vampire in that movie died because he broke their neck, or punched them really hard. Better than the first one in that regard. The super vamps were kind of cool, but I would have enjoyed some more Blade on Vamp action. The fight scene in front of the spotlights friggin rocked. Any high speed weapon work is a joy to behold. Kris Kristofferson rocks. Scud was in the Boondock Saints as one of the brothers. [/QUOTE]
