The greatest sin that a movie can commit is being BORING. This movie was not boring (for me). And to me, that says a lot about an action movie, because as much as I like a good action movie, the bad ones just suck SOOOO bad (I can't remember a thing that happened in "Collateral Damage").Getting back to the point I was trying to make, there are times when a writer has to sacrifice consistency for story value. If Blade detonated the bomb while it was in the big bad vampire's head, it would have had less story value than using it to kill the traitor. A movie that is solid and completely consistent (if badly executed) also runs the risk of being boring. Sure, it would have been a better, more solid movie if the writer (David Goyer) had worked out those plot holes, but they weren't huge, gaping (i.e., unforgivable) plot holes in my book.So, I liked it. Blade II had some solid strengths, and I guess it just hit the right chords for me. A lot of it reminded me of "Aliens", one of my favorites. I'd watch this movie again (mind you, sometimes my opinion of a movie changes after the 2nd or 3rd time).</blockquote>
